Singles and Doubles (Changing Things)

Today I wanted to tidy my room and put new sheets on my bed. So I picked up all my clothes off the floor, and I took away all my empty coffee cups.

And then I got two pillowcases and a quilt cover, and put on the new pillowcases and then realised I had to go get a different quilt, and a new sheet.

There was already this big, really white quilt in my room that I had been using because I was really cold the last few nights, but it was for a double bed, so I went a looked in the blanket box for a single one, but they were all double ones. All the sheets were too big too. So I looked in the hot press, but there was only double bed sheets in there too and I pulled an old off-white quilt from the very top shelf, but that was a double bed quilt too and when I tried to put it back up, I was too small to reach.

And I felt really alone. 

So now I'm going to take the quilt I had before that I wanted to change because it's too thin and because I wanted a change of quilt pattern, and fold it over -because it's a double quilt too- and put the cover on it, and then I can pretend it's a new single quilt with a nice cover, but really it's and old double quilt folded over, hidden beneath the cover.

The sheet didn't really need to be changed, anyway, so that's okay.

But I still feel really alone.
