Pain in the Neck
FYI it worked well! I sat there watching TV, and as the insulation on the power cord started to brown off, I congratulated myself on a great idea, and soon fell into my first comfortable sleep in days! Then the doorbell rang. Startled to my feet, I immediately ran to the door. Can you spot the problem? That's right, I didn't unwrap the blanket, or pull the plug. It still surprises me that I didn't manage to garrote or electrocute myself, or become the first family member to die from spontaneous (HA!) human combustion. I only managed to fuse the blanket, rip out a wall socket, and give myself whiplash in the process. I still had a sore neck, but now I had a new reason for it!
