Microfiber sheets

We got some new linens yesterday. There are microfiber sheets among other things. The jury is still out on these hummers. I have to admit that they are very soft (and very white!) but no one has slept on them yet to give us any feedback. I think I'll bring a set home. I have a microfiber duvet cover that I don't like. It's too hot. And definitely not as soft as these sheets! I checked out some reviews and they are mixed.

Some folks liked them specifically for the softness and some said they were too slick on the mattress and pilled up after a few washings. And there was a problem with them staying on the beds! These appear to be extra long. We had asked for 250 threadcount percale which wear really well and feel cool and crisp...but the 'saleswoman' talked the owner into getting these microfiber ones. We'll see.

I can remember when I was young sheets were either percale or muslin. Muslin was scratchy. Oh...and flannel. Which were wonderful in the wintertime. And I forgot...silk. We surmised that those only came in black and were used strictly in bordellos. Great imagination. And sometimes silk pillowcases were suggested for keeping one's hairdo intact. Never slept on any silk myself.

I had no idea what a thread count was. I do now...and with the amazing variety and quality of linens available I use this information regularly. I'll let you know about this microfiber thing.

Clementines are good. And sweet. I'd buy them again.

I got some new tea. It's the Stash brand, but this time I was smart enough to get decaffinated. The variety is wonderful. There are two tea bags each of Chamomile, Licorice Spice, Lemon Ginger, Apple Cinnamon, Mango Passionfruit, Peppermint, Orange Starfruit Chamomile, Wild Raspberry, and Blueberry. I am drinking the Blueberry right now. It's good.

This doesn't seem like a Friday to me. It feels like a weekday. I have no idea why. I'll be confused for days.

The fires south of Alpine are still burning, but portions are contained. We had 5 rooms of firefighters last night who were with the Air Support Team. The winds are supposed to pick up later this afternoon and be cooler tomorrow from a cold front coming in tonight. Not good weather for the fires. Come to think of it...no weather is good for fires.

I need to answer some emails. I didn't do anything last night except lay here, so I need to catch up on a few things. Have a nice afternoon/evening!
