I had to buy a new pillow today.  This is something I do a lot.  Like every 6 months or so.  Why you may ask?  Well, I’ll tell you why.  It seems I have a very persnickety neck.  A neck that likes to be cradled as it sleeps on it’s side.  And it needs to be cradled at a certain height.  And when said neck doesn’t get what it wants, it gets all crabby and irritable.  And rebellious.  And before you know it, I’m camping out at both the Chiropractor and Registered Massage Therapist’s offices (thank God for extended health plans!).  So I spend some considerable time tracking down just the right pillow.  It must be non-feather (due to my allergies), it must be very firm and it must be very high.  I know, I know!  Dr. Oz says it should be flat like a sandwich, but Dr. Oz clearly doesn’t have a persnickety neck that favors non-feather, firm, high pillows.  And as you must agree, over time pillows flatten.  Like in about 5 – 6 months.  At least that has been my experience.  And once mine flattens past The Neck’s favored height, there’s trouble.  Big trouble.  And that’s what has recently happened.  So today was the day to get a new one.  Fingers crossed that The Neck likes it.

So if any of you ever find a non-feather, firm, high pillow that doesn’t flatten, PLEASE forward me the details.  Or better yet, just forward me the pillow.

And in the meantime, if you’re looking for a flat pillow that’s only been used for about 6 months, I got ya covered.  There’s about 8 of them stored under my bed at the moment.  Drop by anytime and take your pick.  First come first served.
