A Betoota Heights woman about to hit the big 3-0 has been filled with the inexplicable urge to splash out on linen sheets, after randomly deciding last night that her entire room needed a rehaul.
Anita Carlso, 29, tells The Advocate that she was usually able to brush off the niggling feelings of annoyance she felt on a daily basis about the state of her room, but for some reason, her brain decided 11pm last night was the perfect time to have a meltdown.
“My room is a bit of a mess”, explains Anita, “and for some reason my stupid fucking fitting sheet has randomly decided it doesn’t want to fit anymore so I’ve been sleeping with one corner untucked.”
“And my pillows don’t match and there’s fucking lint everywhere, and I felt so overstimulated I wanted to peel my skin off.”
Unable to impulsively rush out to her nearest homeware store to scratch that itch, Anita says she turned to browsing one of those trendy bed linen websites she keeps getting targeted ads for, and admits she almost hit the Afterpay after playing around with the ‘build your own bundle’ AI.
“The marketing almost got me”, admits Anita, “but then I realised I was about drop $700 on some bedsheets and a couple of pillowcases.”
“I don’t think I’m quite out of the Kmart bracket just yet.”
“Maybe Pillow Talk.”
More to come.
