Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh dear lord my linen closet is ridiculous. Like, 5 flannel and 6 regular cotton sets? More or less. I have no idea where that particular mania came from. I'm not allowed to buy more sheets, though.

Weekend plans: kitchen cleaning, cookin' up a mess of greens, maybe watching the Superbowl, maybe mowing the lawn, definitely looking for the small bag of hardware that was supposed to come with my worm bin that I hope is hidden somewhere in my living room rather than completely missing. The usual.

Eta: I love that skirt, Tep. It'll look great with your flamey corset.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I use one set at a time, winter and summer, but I have a couple of others I never use. One I sacrificed to the cat as a sofa slipcover this summer....

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I like having 3 sets of sheets: plush micro fiber for winter, 400 thread ct cotton for summer, and then a backup set that's also cotton for laundry issues. But then i was gifted my friend's old matress set for my guest room when they upgraded from double to queen and was also gifted ALL their sheets. At least 5 sets. Maybe more, i haven't fully investigated the box. They had a baby at the time and lots of laundry emergencies, so many backup sets. So now i have LOTS of spare sheets. Should prolly donate them soon, i have no use for that many sheets.

eta: and i have 3 different king size flat sheets for protecting furniture from cats. The cat sheets.

I was planning to buy sheets today, but haven't yet. I think it's time for food. And then maybe a massage. Or a movie. And I might buy a soda maker if I can find one.

That which does not kill you should RUN

We have 2 sets of regular cotton sheets and 1 set of t-shirt material sheets. The t-shirt sheets tend to get used only in the summer, because they sort of "stick" to whatever one wears to bed, which means that rolling over results in a MASSIVE stealing of the sheets. In the summer, when one tends to sleep in less clothing, it's not a problem. Or, it's like the sheets ARE your jammies!

Good thing I sleep alone, because flannel sheets + flannel jammies means every time I roll over, all of the sheets come with me! It's like I'm a felt board.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Yeah, I have to choose between my flannel sheets or nightgown, because I hate feeling stuck in my own bedclothes.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

This is why I sleep in the nude, people.

Hence the t-shirt material sheets in the summer. (I get too cold in the winter and sleep in lots of clothes. Plus the heated mattress pad. My internal thermometer SUCKS.)

Yeah, too cold.
