There's always a place for you at the DQ.

This isn't even Republicans vs. Democrats; this is common human decency vs. a man who has stolen our money, defied our laws, destroyed our historic trees, and misused our tax funds. SO glad he's gone!

Yep. They have some systems that are include an adjustable mattress, so that's probably what they're talking about. I remember when Irma knocked out our power when we were in Florida, my mom's Tempurpedic got stuck like that, in Recliner position. Ours was just a pad, though.

Yup, that's where I do most of my writing. In bed, sitting up against a big pillow with a heating pad.

Like, I know I'm not paying attention. There are 100 different reasons my leg could be soaked to the skin.

Note: This was the Pod 3 by Eight Sleep, a mattress pad full of water that allows either side of the bed to control their bed temp according to a set schedule or instant desire. So he could have his side heated to +6 while mine cooled to -3. A great boon for a skinny guy and a perimenopausal girl.

It's called the Pod, by Eight Sleep. It was honestly extremely cool for the 3 years that it worked. It uses water in a mattress pad to heat or cool the bed according to programming or instant touch. So he could set his side to +6 and I could have mine on -3. Heaven.

11. Husband swiftly leaves because it is honestly a disturbing visual.
12. Bundle up expensive heating/cooling bed cover and all its machinery and stuff it in the garbage can.
13. Change pajamas and socks AGAIN.
14. Throw the Sharpies away because they now feel obscene.
15. Back to work. 4/4

7. Watch video on how to disconnect bed. Get bowl and two Sharpies.
8. Husband walks into room to find bed torn apart, me on the ground with a large bowl, milking the bed tube with Sharpies in a rhythmic fashion.
9. Him: What are you doing?
10. Me: Milking the teats of the broken bed, obviously. 3/

3. Get out of bed, realize that the leg of my BRAND NEW pajamas is wet from the knee down to my sock.
4. Pull back covers to discover that my heating/cooling mattress pad has sprung a leak.
5. Engage in discussion with Eight Sleep chat.
6. No warranty.
7. Attempt to remove cover from bed. Fail. 2/

Oh, thank you! It... doesn't, actually. I gave up on my blog years ago. I did repeat the whole thing on Threads, though.

Had a rough day, and seeing this cross my feed was a boon. Thank you! <3
