Heavy Load

Yesterday, the delivery man left a few free things I had ordered on my doorstep. One said “heavy”, but I couldn’t figure out what it was (I had a migraine, and my memory was fuzzy). I was actually worried I would hurt my back, but I manhandled the box inside my apartment, and left it while I went back to being miserable. This morning, I summoned the energy to open the box and found…a weighted blanket. Well, that’ll do it it ya!

Oh that is a great free gift. I think that will help you out alot. I actually have one I am probably going to be using mine again soon. It can help quite a bit with sleep and relaxation..Lucky you!

I’ve used it today trying to feel better, but I think it has helped my back. And, for some reason, my Chihuahua likes it too! I really thought it would be too much for her, but she likes the weight.

Oh, Marie, I missed my boo boo earlier. I’m so sorry! I’ve turned into my dad who calls me by my sister’s name!

@AmbiePam No worries here. Hey, your Dad calls the roll? I've done it myself when all of the kids are around!

That is great. Did you buy it or did you receive it as a gift?

I was from a program that sends you free things in exchange for a review. I can tell a difference after one night.

I think it has so far. But is comical when I try to move it. It is one of the times I bemoan being single!

@AmbiePam I don’t understand. They do have a line of ready to wear, shoes, bags, sunglasses, couture, etc. and are already making a killing. They killed my husband with their hugely inflated price tags.

i know how it feels to have to carry a heavy box inside of my relatives home that came from Amazon that was a cabinet that will be used to load clothes and other materials inside of the home.

I know people really like weighted blankets, but I'm always kicking mine off because I'm too warm. Maybe that would be a good workout, lol

Yes, at various times it has covered me up to my chest, then been pushed down to my feet because of the warmth. It’s a shame I didn’t get this in the winter.

I've seen them weighted blankets at the thrift store & I don't neve get why some 1 would want 1 being they so heavy. Hope you get to feeling better soon, get plenty of rest.

Thank you, Gayle, I appreciate it. They tend to help people with anxiety, and some people sleep, but I got one because I was told it would help my arthritis.

Is a weighted blanket the one that feels like is filled with sand in it?

I always wanted to buy such a blanket. I wonder if it helps us with anxiety. I usually do relaxation exercises and they make me feel heavy. Maybe such a blanket would be very useful.

It is supposed to be helpful with anxiety. Just make sure you look at reviews so you don’t buy one that sounds too good to be true. I know a girl who got one, but she got it super cheap, and it turned out to be worth nothing. Mine didn’t retail for a lot though; it is 25 pounds. You are very skinny, right? so I don’t know that I would go a 25 pounder. Snowy’s is 20 pounds. I’m not sure what that converts to from pounds…

Wow, I didn't think a weighted blanket was THAT heavy that is would hurt your back? Let us know how that works out. I have heard great things about them, but I think I might feel smothered if I tried to sleep under one!
