Blanket Seduction

Several of my friends from a local parish made a Prayer Blanket for me to use to remember I am surrounded by prayers. I sat in my recliner after infusion yesterday feeling tired and chilled. I wrapped up in the blanket and spent the rest of the night feeling comforted and warm.

I went to bed last night and wrapped up in the usual fleece blanket that I had. I could immediately feel the warmth of the blanket. My alarm went off this morning and as I got up I heard the blanket call my name and say, "You should stay right here with me." I turned off the alarm and felt the blanket crawl up my shoulder as I fell back to sleep.

An hour later, I woke up and thought I should get up. As I looked over the side of the bed the blanket crept up on my legs and back whispering in my ears, "Stay here old boy." I felt old and in need of some more sleep so I succumbed.

After another hour, I woke up and began to think the blanket was possessed as I tried to get up again. But it just kept calling me back. Once again I gave in. Mary sent me a txt message saying she had hives from her contact with the cat this morning and had to take a benedryl. She was getting sleepy. I wrote her back that my blankets were not letting me out of bed! She wrote back and said, "Rest, those Navy Seals are working hard inside you." I accepted that and feel back to sleep.

I am now eating breakfast which in reality should be lunch but I have no shame, Who knew that stage IV Melanoma would allow someone to succumb to blanket seduction so easily!!!!! I will have to look through my moral theology books to see where blanket seduction fits into the whole pictuer of life........
