Can someone please explain to me whoever came up with the idea that your bed had to always be made, nice and pretty, neat and clean? I mean honestly you're going to take off all those pretty, useless, decorative pillows, rip the covers off, and if you're a turbulent sleeper like me you'll probably rip off the fitted sheet in the middle of the night and wake up drooling on the bare mattress. Then you'll wake up, make everything all pretty again wasting a whole 5 to 10 minutes of your life ...just so you can mess it all up again in the PM for fucks sake.
The above scenario to me, is not functional. My bed is functional. I never have to turn down the covers they're already at the foot of the bed when I'm ready to go to sleep for the night. I don't bother readjusting the fitted sheet before I go to bed because it's just going to get ripped down again as I toss and turn. The dirty socks laying on the bed from last night do not bother me even in the slightest. On any given night you'll find a Walgreens bag on my bed, probably from a 3am shopping trip two nights prior. This bag may contain bottled water, Little Debbies, hard candies in case my mouth gets dry at night, and discarded trash from any of the above items.
Often times you can find several bottles of nail polish under my covers from those nights when I couldn't sleep and decided to do my nails at 2 AM. If I roll over on them I just toss them onto the floor.
Everything I need is in my bed. It may not be pretty, it may not be right, but it's very functional ...for me. Damn the man who said beds have to be made!!
