Pillow Crisis

It's Mary here! One of these days Drew is going to write something, but for now it's just me.

 I am in a bit of a predicament. You see, I am having a pillow crisis. Yes, that is correct a "dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in a person's life" (thank you dictionary.com) which in my case surrounds my relationship with my pillow. Back when I was a single person I would sleep in my bed surrounded by 3 to 8 pillows depending on the night. I always had one thick, yet plush pillow for support. On top or next to that (depending on my mood) was a fluffy feather pillow with little support, but lots of comfort. Finally there was either a large body pillow or several standard pillows on my side for comfort and stability. I liked being able to roll over and have another pillow section to lounge on if desired. If you know me, you know I take great pride in my bed. I have a pillowtop mattress, with memory foam, and a feather topper. Needless to say I like a soft bed. My roommates in college used to nap in my bed because it was so cozy.

 Getting back to my crisis..... Now that I am married I have Drew in my bed---not a pillow, not even close to a pillow. And of course, he does not like sleeping with more than one pillow. "What happened to all the pillows you used in college?" you might ask. Unfortunately all of my pillows from college were donated because I could not pack them in my car. This is a sad tale, because after 4 years your head gets used to specific pillows. All I have now (all that I could cram into the nooks of my car) was my soft, yet supportless feather pillow. Some nights I sleep with this pillow, some nights I throw the pillow across the room and sleep without any pillow. Other nights I use my arm, but you see, I need a new pillow! Or at least an additional pillow. All the decorative pillows we have on our bed are hard as rocks so those are not options. I have yet to find a pillow that I can afford that solves my pillow crisis. They are too hard, too thick, too thin, not soft enough, too soft, too much support, not enough support. Oh when will this crisis end! ;)
