Food, water and electricity will be provided so the answer isn't just a fuck ton of food+water

The weird shawl-like thing that am currently bundled up in.

Stretchy enough to cover self if cold, heavy enough to keep light out of eyes, gauzy enough to breathe cooly if draped across face whilst keeping warm & dark, many stitches to count (visually or *tactilely) if thoughts disrupting sleep, calming texture, familiar smell, can create sparkly visual effects to trick brain into checking out if necessary, means of escape if not released, can be worn as dress if released to a cocktail party.

*tactilely: had to go hunting to find this word, as brain was refusing to cooperate, but it seems unfamiliar to me and feels clumsy. Hoped that reading about Braille might turf it up (it did not), but from there found a Wikipedia entry about a device some might find desirable in this 24hr lockup situation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyctography. Seriously though, what is the normal adverb form of tactile?
