Tim got the IKEA memory foam pillow that's shaped to be supportive of the neck ("Go neck! You can do it!") because he was getting a lot of neck pain. It took about 2 weeks for him to adjust to the pillow -- which is WAY more time than I would be able to tolerate, having an uncomfortable pillow -- but now his neck is un-painful and he sleeps with just that one pillow. It freaks me out when I roll over and hit it with a hand or arm, because it's SO dense. It feels like a body.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Because books.
God, I didn't need to know that site had socks and jewelry and handbags, too.
Our pillows are old, so they've gotten thinner. My parents have some that are so plump, I can't sleep with two of them.
When I was pregnant, I had to have a pillow between my legs, too.

In other news, my boss just told me he was in seventh grade in 2001. Wow.

Well, he IS probably a non-native English speaker, so you never know.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Jilli, I have an ask and a say for your adorable husband (he doesn't lurk, right--you'll paraphrase to make me look better, because I can't resist that temptation for shit...anyway).
He usually says "Thank you" while looking a smidge uncomfortable, because his instinct is to point out the things he doesn't like about the piece of art in question. Because he's a doofus.
Sleeping: some sort of pjs (white cotton Victorian-esque nightgowns for the win!), top sheet, LOTS of blankets. I really like the weight of lots of blankets. And sometimes socks and armwarmers, because our bedroom has no insulation and is like an icebox in the winter.

In typical ham-handed fashion, my pay-check-payer 'required' attendance on a conference call, however provided an insufficient number of spaces, or whatever you call them.
It's about a reorg in which they clearly have no fucking clue what they are doing.
As demonstrated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
To Amy and sarameg, I can only offer a hearty "yikes."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Best Validation Ever.
I mean, clearly he's emulatable...
