Audio (MP3): 20190512 - The horror of the fitted sheet
These pillows and their corresponding cases and this sheet for fitting have all been resting comfortably on my bed in a laundry cocoon for the better part of the day.
Whenever I walk into the bedroom my heart plummets. And then I walk right back out of the bedroom.

When I woke up this morning at 6:56 am I somberly smiled while thinking, “ah Saturday how I love you so.”
And then after I fully awoke I realized it’s Friday. I’ll still take Friday over Thursday though!

Peeps, you’ve probably grown weary of my pillow saga…but the last two came tonight.

Patiently waiting for the UPS man to deliver my four new pillows.
He’s usually here by 4:45pm. I feel like I’m in a horror movie. I’ll probably be dead before he gets here.

I have learned that bed linen laundry day is nothing short of a full cardio workout…for I am the lover of the duvet… It’s a wonderful concept that is deceiving…a simplistic idea that is nothing short of madness. The stuffing of SIX decorative pillow shams…pure torture.
Decorative pillow shams! The horror!

I feel you on the fitted sheet. I always get it wrong too. 😂

I hate making my bed but it is always worth it at the end of the day. Nevertheless……

Also-I pulled a crap load of dandelions yesterday. That was what was happening in my neck of the woods.

I like the color on your wall.
Thank you! It’s my favorite bedroom color thus far

While you have the fitted sheet on the bed correctly, take a vibrant thread and needle. And stitch a little something on the corner or the elastic area. Pick one corner and do it to all the fitted sheets. Maybe pick a corner you will remember? It helps the sheets get done much faster, because I too have the same issue! Same with the USB things! I always pick the wrong end first

I’m for quick- I use a permanent marker and put a “T” in the two top corners when the new sheets are on the bed.
Good idea! I get so frustrated!

Pretty photo though. =)
Thank you! Arranging pillows for a photoshoot is far more appealing that reverse engineering the Houdini escape straitjacket pillow case riddle.

If it helps, locate the tag on the fitted sheet (assuming there is one). Once you find out which orientation is correct, burn into your memory where the corner with the tag is, then always start with that corner.

I had never thought of marking the corner(s) of the fitted sheet but it is a brilliant plan!
I’m envisioning a pirate map of sorts with dashes leading to a treasure chest X. Ye map noting where there be sharks, and where there be safe havens, and where there be death.
And of where be ye fastest route to sailing the seas of fitted comfort.
I’ve attached a quick mockup that’s neither my bed nor my map, but you’ll get the idea. I’m a man not a cartographer.
