"That's a lot of buckwheat", he said.

The man I love and adore got a new pillow yesterday. ANOTHER new pillow. He's never been happy with a pillow for more than a few months and it's getting pretty expensive. He often wakes up with headaches or gets very little sleep because he's just not comfortable. In his attempt to get comfy, he'll punch and fold and scrunch and twist the thing until it's lumpy and creased and really no good to anyone. He gets disapponted that it's just not the right one and I get frustrated that he's ruined another pillow. I mentioned the quandry to our chiropractor yesterday and she suggested he try a buckwheat pillow. (Is that what you have, Deb?) It's very firm, and he even took some out because it was quite bulky. He filled up a big Tupperware container with the husks he took out of the pillow. It really was a lot of buckwheat! I thought it was the whole grain but it's actually just husks. Pretty cool. Anyone else out there have one? Will it be the end of our pillow saga?

And a side note for those skeptics who didn't think we could live without a microwave. The man I love and adore just made a yummy batch of popcorn with melted butter - all on the stovetop! Only once or twice in the time we've gone without it have I really wished for the convenience.
