Sock Audit:

Me - I wear them to bed in the winter. If I get overheated, though, it messes up my sinuses and I take them off.

JZ - perpetually cold, frequently huddled next to the heater and yet...doesn't wear socks even when padding around the apartment shivering. Socks make you warmer, honey! Wear them!

Emmett - wears socks to bed and immediately kicks them off where they fall behind the bed and we are always wondering where all his new socks have gone.

Matilda - takes her socks off at every opportunity, most annoyingly in her car seat. There is a 75% chance that I will have to put both her socks and shoes on again when we get to our destination. Though she is a lean child she doesn't much seem affected by the cold and will even take her socks off to run barefoot through the grass at Kezar Stadium when it's quite wet and chilly.

My friend Alison - cannot sleep without her bare feet poking out of the bottom of her bed covers. Will only wear socks if it's extremely cold, but them will still poke them out of the bottom of the covers.

I cant' sleep if my feet are cold, but I am frequently overheated in the middle of the night and must throw off my covers or kick a leg out to "equalize my temperature" right now, the heat is off in my condo, and I sleep with the window open or I get too hot.

I used to have the most overheated apartment in Montreal. No matter the depths of winter, it was always T-shirt weather inside. Most people toughed it out, but whenever Colin was over there was usually a pile of his clothes at the front door and he was basically in skivvies. I'd keep windows open and it was still warm. I had no heating control.

I came to miss that when it was time for me to pay for my own heat. I could get very warm, but not stuffy.

I can't properly achieve that now, here, except at the perfect outdoor temperature.

Woke up to find Immanuel Kat was still sleeping peacefully on my chest

Aiee. I blanch at the thought.

Ha! Often when I fall asleep on the couch, I wake up to find Tanuki sleeping on my chest - purring loudly.

Sometimes I wear socks to bed - because sometimes my apartment is cold enough that I will wear a wool sweater to bed.

Was Immanuel sucking your breath and drinking your spirit?

I'm sleeping under the quilt my grandma made for me when I was little--it's got my name on it and everything

Me too! Grandmother made a little pocket in it where she tucked a note to me. My sister and I inherited SO MANY quilts. Anyone want a handmade quilt? We literally have a closet full, and those are the ones we're not using. I'm sleeping under two, with another covering the mattress. I gave up on sheet sets months ago; I just pull them off in my sleep and end up lying uncomfortably on a pile of wrinkled cotton.

Sock survey: I start out in fluffy warm socks and pull them off at some point during the night.

We currently have awesome raindeer flannel sheets and flannel comforter (but not pillowcases) on our bed. I love it because my feet warm up nistantly and I wake up feeling so warm and cozy.

I can't sleep with socks anymore. Feet must be bare to sleep!

I actually prefer this to a cat sleeping on my head, not that either is really enjoyable.

Top and bottom?

I only have one sheet set. Mostly I just buy bottom sheets. But I keep a blanket (hotel-style fleece, which wear out, which is a shame, because I have 4, all showing signs of age) and a top sheet in play so I can adjust coverage on the fly. My temperature is very important, but I need covers no matter how hot it is. Even if I have them just near my face and off the rest of my body.

I have been given the most complicated queries that I know are pulling some incorrect data from tables I don't even understand. I feel I'm short-shrifting the developer by only explaining to him what's wrong in English and not SQL. But mine eyes are crossing.
