Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, too cold.

I would love to have a wardrobe of sheets. I also have expensive tastes in sheets and I'm cheap, so in actuality we have 1 set of percale and 1 of flannel per bed, with most of the beds having a backup older percale set that's mostly used in case of bodily fluid emergencies. The grownups have a queen, the kids each have a twin, and we have sheets for a double for our futon (which used to be our grownup bed.)
I adore really good quality sheets. I prefer Garnet Hill. I have become my mother.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like sleeping naked, but I live with a polar bear so in the winter the temp is at 68 and even in the summer a fan has to be blowing on the bed. Hence, pajamas.

I have two pairs of flannel sheets, 2-3 sets of cotten sheets, and thne a few random fitted and flat sheets. I don't use a top sheet, so they mostly get used in the guest bed.
The flannel sheets are almost too warm for me, and I hate being constricted by clothes when I am sleeping, so I sleep in a tank and boxers year round

Socks are all I need in the winter, in addition to the quilt my grandma made me when I was 3. I could be sleeping in a mink coat, but if my feet are bare, I'm freezing. Hubby's in multiple blankets plus sweats, but his internal temperature is whacked as well. The air conditioner lives in the bedroom in summer.

I alternate sets of Charter Club damask stripe sheets. I like the silky feel rather than something softer and more flannel-y.
I probably should get some use out of that ultra-fancy synthetic silk sheet I treated myself to years ago. But I don't know what I did with the cleaning fluid for it, and the place I bought it from went out of business.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have lots and lots of sheets, because I tend to only throw away/repurpose whatever part of the set gets stained or wornout, but I don't have many sets outside the ones I keep for the guest room.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, we have only the one set per season. Flannel for winter, cotton for summer. They're expensive sheets, but I refuse to buy them at full price, so they're nice sheets bought cheaply at overstock or tj maxx or whatever.
I probably should have more because of the dog. But the next freshly laundered set is just going to get dirty anyway, so...
How often do you launder/switch your sheets? And how often do your turn your mattress? Except ita, I know you don't have to turn the tempurpedics.
