sunday january 6

today i slept on my new pillow for the first time. it was given to me by my mother as a gift a day earlier, since she apparently felt that my old pillow's gradual transformation from white to yellow was unhealthy. i am very particular about my pillows and my old pillow was perfect in its thinness. this new pillow is a fattie. while wrapping my pillowcase around it, i literally exclaimed aloud, "what a load," despite the fact that no one else was around. while i'm not entirely pleased with its size, the pillow didn't leave my neck sore after one night, so i'm willing to give it a fair chance.
