Today, my Amazon delivery was delayed. I just moved to a new place and that delivery had my pillow and blanket. I can't go buy them in person since I'm self-isolating and the heating isn't working either. Guess I'm sleeping in the freezing cold on the bare mattress one more night. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the lack of heating in my room has gotten to the point where I have to cuddle my clothes for the next day at night so they're not freezing when I wake up. FML
Today, my $1300 mattress that I bought for my new home was delivered. To my old house. FML
Today, I slept on the couch last night. Not because of an angry significant other, but because my bedroom was absolutely freezing, thanks to the wind. It was like a giant freezer. Even fully cocooning myself in blankets with a sweater on didn't work. I should get a space heater. FML
Today, I was very cold and tired, so I took a shower to warm up and went to bed. The minute I hopped into bed, it collapsed and broke. I have spent half-an-hour rearranging furniture to get the mattress on to the floor. Now I'm cold again. FML
Today, I was trying to be extra productive and washed all my clothes at once, including my bedding. I hung everything to dry and only realized too late that I had no dry sheets to sleep in. I ended up sleeping on a bare mattress, wrapped in a bath towel, like some kind of sad burrito. FML
Today, with one week left until I fly to my new apartment, movers loaded my belongings, and happily drove off. They even loaded my unpacked, inflated air mattress. Looks like I'm sleeping on the floor for a week. FML
Today, marks three days since I was supposed to follow the moving truck to my new home. Instead, I got super sick and my dad drove away without me. I've been laying on a dog cushion the entire weekend because my bed is 500 miles away. FML
Today, while working the graveyard shift at my hotel, it felt a little chilly, so I grabbed a blanket out of the box we usually store old blankets in. Twenty minutes later, the live-in maintenance man casually remarked that those blankets are all infected with bed-bugs. FML
Today, I got a phone call to say my workplace was closed due to extreme weather conditions. Looking forward to my day off, I then realised the boiler was broken and my house has no heating despite there being a foot of snow outside. I'm spending the day in bed, wearing all my clothes. FML
Today, while lying in bed, I was so lonely that I put a heavy blanket in front of me so it felt like I was spooning someone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Not having a go here, but I'm genuinely curious what you were using for a pillow and blankets before you moved. Surely you owned something!

Think about what else you have warm in the house? Can you use any of your Winter attire? How about some towels? Any one of those items can also be used for a pillow if you need them.

Maybe she threw them out. I've done it

if you're cold enough, sleep under your winter jacket. I've done that before when times were tough. In my last move, I was the opposite. my air bed wouldn't stay inflated through the night, so I slept on the floor with a blanket & pillow for a few months until I could buy a mattress. At least you have a mattress. Cover with a jacket and use something else as a pillow if need be.

LMAO this happened to me this year too, except I was in my third trimester of pregnancy, and it was my air mattress that the mail man decided not to deliver and to send to my previously listed address (which is in another state and I haven't lived in for 5 years) because the house looked "empty". NO SHIT BITCH WE JUST BOUGHT IT. Idk why he thought creeping through our windows was acceptable either.

You own absolutely no bedding or blankets of any kind? That seems odd.
