I don’t fucking believe it. I looked on Amazon at what’s in his mattress and it says it’s gel-fused memory foam. So then I go and look at mine, expecting it to say it’s just memory foam.

Then… WTF? It’s not memory foam. No, it’s NOT memory foam!

I pulled up my blanket, sheet and mattress pad and looked at the bare mattress, and I swear the mattress in the cart that I plan to get this summer is indeed my mattress. Looking at the product description, plus all the things checked on a checklist, it really isn’t memory foam. So then what I’ve been having his pure peri-fatso-related that’s been overheating me??? I really thought the topper was memory foam! I pushed my open palms down on it and it didn’t feel like memory foam and it didn’t look like memory foam when I quickly pulled my hands away either. Really hope it’s the peri because the fatso part is never going away until they develop a way for me to have more than 1000 cals and still lose weight.

Before this discovery, we ordered a 2” plush mattress pad in hopes of blocking the warming effects of the memory foam I now know I don’t have. I’m going to see if it makes his mattress comfortable enough for me since it’s new and not sagging. If it does, then all I need to do is sleep on that and give him this old sagging one. He could sleep on anything, unlike me.

I just wish I knew why my body was so temperamental when it came to temperature. When I got up it was 70° in here and I was warm. Later it was 75° and I was chilly. Go figure.

Even though I seem to have a permanent cold, I think I’ll go out walking because I can never know when I’ll get the chance to do it again. I felt better at the beginning of my day yesterday, but then my throat grew irritated and I was coughing. Still congested too, and I wonder how much of it is contributed by the rats.
