#2339 it's cozy

In my last post, I mentioned that my little mamacita gave me a late Christmas gift: money to buy a weighted blanket. She also gave me some good advice about the blanket which I promptly forgot and did not even slightly recall when I was picking out said blanket a week later. I'll tell you what the advice was in a minute.

The first night I had the blanket, Sunday, I was kind of overwhelmed by how hefty it was. The blanket weighs 12 pounds. It is heavy when it is on you, which is the point. It is supposed to make you feel cozy and safe. It did all of that for me! I was happy, even though I had a hard time turning over. I did get hot in the middle of the night. The reasons is most likely that I had the weighted blanket, a quilt and a comforter over me. I am always cold when I first go to bed, so I was fine at first, then I get hot, then I get cold again. I'm of an age, people. It happens. I'm not sweaty though (yet).

I usually talk with my mom and my sister on the phone on Monday nights, so during our call I was talking about the blanket and Mom asked if I had followed her advice and got the weighted blanket quilted squares. The squares keep the little beads in place so they don't all scooch to the edges. NOOOO! I didn't get the quilted squares. I tried to play it cool ad say that everything would be all right.

Wouldn't you know that I had a hard time sleeping on Monday night because I kept thinking that all the beads were sliding off my body into the edges of the blanket. I kept shooshing the sides of the blanket to keep the beads on me. Of course everything was fine with the blanket, but now I'm worried about having all the beads around the perimeter of the blanket and not in the middle where they belong.  Sad face.

Until that happens, though, I am happy with the cozy gift. I haven't let MT or T try it at all. If they have tried it, they haven't told me. I get very possessive.
