26 Sep 2004 11:56 amthe fucking cat (tea) barfed on the bed. fortunately, i guess, she got wax's duvet and not mine, but they weren't really dirty; they've only been on for a week... so i replaced hers with, ahem, this hideous pink-violet-turquoise splatter-painted 80s-looking thing, and left mine in its lovely green citrus stripes. also she got the fitted sheet*, so i had to replace that with something the color of pepto-bismol.
*finns are very proud of themselves vis-a-vis duvet covers instead of sheets, what with the no messy tangle of flat sheets coming off and getting the blankets dirty, when it's so much more efficient to wash the duvet cover than the duvet.
for all this, they don't have fitted sheets; they have giant flat sheets which inevitably come up on the edges, because they're not only not elasticized nor box-shaped, but the allowance round the edges that's meant to be folded under is not wide enough.
