Every time I try to type an apostrophe, a quick search box appears. Will I survive a day without apostrophes? Should I make a surprise trip to the grocer and stock up?

As a matter of fact, my sleepwear does have a howling fantods pocket; yes indeed. And I paid quite a bit for it. I keep it buttoned up while I sleep lest a fantod get loose and go howling about the room.
My jimjams are printed with a lovely apostrophe pattern too. :-)

Yes, this side of the pond we don't wear jimjams OR heebie jeebies to bed. WE wear "jammies" or "p.j.'s"!
