Other than a six month search for exactly the right bedside lamp so that it perfectly illuminates my book without shining light into my eyes?

I need a fat dog on my lap (or laying beside me) a charged vape and a stash of hard candies

(FYI the perfect lamp is a 24 inch knockoff tiffany with the switch on an extra long cord)

That lamp sounds amazing, although I only read on E-readers. I always have perfect light and I have all my books with me.

The dog on lap does sound cozy af. Too bad I'm not in a place where owning one is a good idea.

I'm mostly an eReader person too (love the backlight on kobo) but my kid likes me to read what he's reading so I needed a solution for those pesky paper book days lol

Honestly, a sack of potatoes wrapped in an electric blanket is the same as a dog... idk how you're going to simuate dog breath though lol

Hahaha that was funny. Thanks God I don't have kids yet. The blanket idea ain't bad. And maybe if I can entertain my had I would drink less wine.

Kids are great unless you like money, sleep or sex lol

Seriously though, try a weighted blanket. They are lovely when you read and (except for the smell) a lot like having a fat ass dog parked on top of you

I'm not a fan of sleep, but I'm addicted to the other two, I should consider being just an uncle's then. Weighted blankets? First time I hear about it. Let me check.

Get a velvety or fleecy one and get throw or twin size - a full size one is like fighting an octopus.
