Health~ma to Zoe.
I read about the New Zealand shooting. One of the people at the mosque was interviewed, and he said that if New Zealand isn't safe, then he doesn't know where they can go. It's heartbreaking.
I have two sets of sheets in regular rotation (cotton), one heavy cotton flannel set that's a bit much for NC's idea of winter, and some t-shirt material sets that I need to Kondo because I haven't used them in years. The regular ones are getting pretty old. I think one set belonged to my parents, and neither of them has been alive for the past 10 years. Probably time for some new sheets.
In other first world problems, I ate breakfast too early today and now I'm hungry even though it's only 11am.
Tim and I don't really argue much, because we are both SUPER conflict-avoidant and think any disagreement means the other one is going to file for divorce (that's not really an exaggeration; we both have Issues). But he's also, in general, the world's most agreeable human being, so we rarely have points of conflict.
However, an ongoing argument around Stately Beckmeyer Manor is "No, YOU Are Making the Bed Wrong!" After 13 years, it's kind of comical.
If you have to news today, I suggest you seek out news on the student marches.
I am also in the "more than one set of sheets means you don't have to do laundry to make the bed (or wait for laundry to be finished to be able to make the bed)" camp. Except that I only have one set of flannel sheets, and we've been cold enough (for us), that I've been committed to staying in the flannel. I also have one modal, one bamboo, one microfiber, and one t-shirt material. I may start a support group with msbelle. Except I don't have a problem with my "problem".
I am sickened by the news from NZ this morning. I would much rather talk about sheets.
Same!
I had in my head all morning that I was having lunch with my boss today, but no -- it's next Friday.
I'm so sorry Laura. That's always so hard.
I need more sheets. In theory I like having a variety of options.
Today is actually my day to wash the sheets that are in the hamper and then change the sheets. I love Clean Sheets Friday!
I also think I'm going to ignore the news and binge watch Shrill on Hulu.
What are everyone's favorite used book buying sites? Other than the usual eBay/Etsy/Abe Books? There's a vintage gothic romance paperback I'm desperate to track down, and I'm having no luck.
Atropa, this is the kind of question you might pose to TWoP co-founder Sars (Sarah Bunting). You can find her on Twitter at @TomatoNation or at [link]
To be clear, I wouldn't ask Sars for a store rec, I'd ask her to help you locate a copy of the book. This came to mind because, she's asked her readers to help other readers identify a book title they'd forgotten, working on just a description.
This suggestion is brought to you by my avoidance of all the terrible things going on in the world. The sheet conversation isn't helpful in my case, because I also started a linen closet re-org and injured my back during the pull-apart phase, so I have a full laundry basket of clean sheets (for a household of five) which need rewashing, or repurposing as rags, and it's judging me. Hard.
