PILLOW TALK

(song of the day that is playing in my head when I woke up: Lie to Me by Chris Isaak)

This bear's pillow is too soft
This bear's pillow is too thick
This bear's pillow can't be made of down
This bear can't find a pillow that is jussssssssssssst right

Where is frickin' Goldilocks when you need her? Blobby is in search for the best. pillow. ever! The last few months (or year) have been odd. I cannot find a pillow that satisfies my need for head-rest.

Sometime after our move, my pillows just didn't cut it for me. Not only have I tried all that we have (guest rooms included) - then there were the purchases! oy!! They have the standard (tried it - my head sinks to the mattress), firm (tried it - head sinks to the mattress), extra firm (using it now, but still have to use my hands under the pillow to keep my head at a good angle).

I've tried those memory foam ones too. They're ok, but my neck ends up hurting and can experience numbness during the entire day. The thicker the pillow, the more my head tilts up when sleeping. It's beginning to be a real pain - no pun intended (or perhaps fully intended).

...and then there are those that are supposebly (yes, I know it's misspelled!) for people who sleep on their back, side or stomach. C'mon - how different can these be? Apparently different enough to make me annoyed - and not different enough to let me sleep.

I'm certainly not getting a solid 8 (hush Morty!). I'm lucky if I'm asleep for 5 - and even that's not in a row.

We have so many pillows now, I'm guessing at this point we can easily accommodate the von Trapps and their off-spring and still have enough pillows left over.
