Weighted blanket question - for a blanket that will cover two people, should the weight be calculated per person, or combined? (i.e. for two people who each weigh 150, would the correct blanket be 15lb or 30lb?)

Just finished my registration for the SuperRun 5k tomorrow. This is going to be such a crazy weekend. It's Irish Faire and the 5k tomorrow, then performing at the House of Ireland on Sunday. I've gotta find out who put the SuperRun on St. Patrick's Day weekend and encourage them to really consider their lifechoices before next year.

Yay! The SuperRun here is in about a month, I think. I should do that one.

I can't do the Flying Pig this year, because friends are getting married that day. But in early June, there's a 5K/10K for migraine awareness/research, which is right up my alley, so I am definitely doing that one.

You should! Capes are back this year!

I haven't settled on a 5k for April yet (I'm trying to do one a month this year), but I recently saw there's one for NAMI - reducing stigma around mental health issues - which sounded like a pretty important/close to home one.

I gotta look around and see whether there's ever a Diabetes one, considering how that MFer runs rampant through my family.

Jessica, I'm not sure! Because they say that 10% idea but then they don't say over how big a blanket. I ordered a small (like 45x73"?) 20lb blanket but they also had those in 60x80" size. I figure that's a much smaller amount of weight spread out like that? I've been really liking mine. It's a bit warm, though, I need to re-evaluate my blanket situation and I'm worried summer will not work. But I feel like it's helping me sleep through the night—I didn't usually have a problem going back to sleep, but it's nice not to wake up so much.

I've been poking around the interwebs and it seems like for couples, err on the side of a slightly heavier blanket because the weight will be spread out across a larger surface area, and so won't feel as heavy as the same weight blanket sized for a single person.

DH has a birthday coming up and right now he sleeps under like 5 quilts so this would be a nice upgrade!

Just saw my credit score, and it says that one of the negative factors on it is delinquent accounts. I wasn't aware that I had any delinquent accounts, but I haven't been too good about checking the free credit report every year like I should, and I really don't feel like trying to deal with that now, on top of everything else. That can wait a couple weeks, right?

It can wait until you buy your next house, TBH. (Or a car, I guess - is there any other time your credit score actually matters?)

Maybe a refi or certain credit card rates?

But I think Jess is right, you're far enough in at this point that it probably isn't worth messing with right now.

The only red flag that I would worry about is delinquent accounts that you aren't aware of could be someone who has opened a fraudulent card in your name, and if they do something with that it could impact your current home loan.
