Dug plenty of holes over on that side and yeah the sand mix is annoying but it's not some crazy special ground. Every lot near the fairgrounds has caliche, that's just how this town is. My auger slips sideways in half the yards I work, you just go slower and water it the night before. Pour a deeper footing and you're fine, people have been building sheds and fences out there for years without the sky falling.

A $9 Walmart throw taking down a $60 weighted blanket is the underdog story I didn't know I needed today. Getting a weighted blanket situated is like trying to wrestle a beanbag chair that's filled with sand, by the time you're comfy your lunch break is over. Half the battle with those things is just figuring out which end is which. My cat loves mine way more than I do, she treats it like her personal fort and I'm just the guy who lifts it for her. Cheap thin blankets win the couch nap game every single time because you can just kick them off when you get too hot.
