To DOWN OR UP

As I sat on the floor cutting the end of the topper, I kept expecting to see feathers come out. That did not happen, Why did that not happen?
Down comforter was a damn comforter.
I had paid that much for a Down alternative. As I sat there fuming over the purchase, five years ago, I said, I am so Mad. I am so ticked. All this work for Down alternative.

I ain't doing this, I ain't, I ain't. (we all know I do not say ain't) So we know I am ticked. (no pun intended)

So as I empty the contents, ( I am still making it smaller) I had a few choice words to say.

Then I decided to re wrap a pillow I knew was "Down around". What in the heck did that mean?
Down Around. Well it means, ( I can tell you from experience) There is an inner layer of feathers. The outer layer is down, So, Down around the feathers.
Really fluffy, fly away, hard to handle Down.
I had Down everywhere. I had feathers everywhere.
Now I am wishing I had never started this project. I take it to the porch. I pick feather and Down out of the pillow ticking.
Did you know you can't pick up down?
Well I am here to say , you can't! Unless you have a firm handful then you can't feel it.
It is nothing in your hands.

Now I am wishing it were Down Alternative. I take back every thing I said about the Down Alternative.

I had to vacuum the front porch , there was no blowing it away, and just walking by sent a wave of Down into the air. It took me a good 15 minutes to get the Down up and still, I see it flying.
Bet you did not know you could do that , Get DOWN UP.

Teach me Patience OH LORD.
