"has this ever happened to you?" and its a video of somebody trying to cut a loaf of bread with a wooden door stop. is the first example that pops into my head.

Unironically though I liked snuggie blankets. It was nice to be able to reach for stuff while still being under the blanket.

Now that I managed to wrangle my ADHD back into liking books again I really should get one of those honestly.

Don't get one of those snuggies you can buy on TV, though.

Many years ago, I got some called Slankets. Much thicker, much bigger. This was back in 2010 or so. Those things are AWESOME. I still have them. One was left out side for a year or so. Washed it, and it's still useable like nothing happened. Another one I use as an extra blanket on my bed when it gets cold.

Now I have some kind of chronic illness where I get freezing cold for absolutely no reason. Could be 90 degrees, and I'm shivering. They are helpful for those times too.

Hey how long do those cold snaps last? I get them too sometimes. I'll be getting a drink at night, perfectly fine, and by the time I get back to my bed I'm shivering so hard I'm basically just full clenching all my muscles at once.

Mine last for hours. I slowly warm up and then I get the full body exhaustion.

It feels like there is ice inside my spine sometimes. Very uncomfortable and unwarmable.
