phosfateTook advantage of the thousand-degree heat to wash the mattress pad and hang it outside. Which worked. Then re-made the bed with nice new sheets out of the linen closet*. The bottom sheet (you know, the elastic thing with the corners) was a bit stubborn, but I got three corners down and tucked. But the last corner... Well, I'm pulling and pulling and I figure it must've shrunk somehow the last time I washed it. But I've nearly got it. Nearly. Just...one...more...REALLY GOOD TUG!
Then I realize I've got the corner with the tag on it, and I read the tag. Did you know sheet tags have their sizes printed on them? I sure didn't.
This one said: TWIN.
But BY GOD, if I'd had, like, Dr Tectonic or Sharon or somebody there with just a liiiiiiiiittle bit more upper body strength, that mofo would've fit on the mattress.
Then, in the middle of the night, it would've snapped the whole thing in half and I'd still be trapped.
*It is also the iron closet, the dustmop closet, and the ugly Christmas decorations that are too high to reach and throw out closet.
