Late in the Day Realizations→[More:]You know it's been a day, when close to the end of the work day you notice that you've been wearing your underwear inside out all day.
I am amazed at how incapable I seem to be of putting mine on right-side-out. You'd think this would be a pretty basic skill, but apparently you'd be wrong.
Walking to the corner market on Sunday, I noticed that --- oops! --- my top was on inside out. And in a mindless, forgot-I-was-in-public moment, I almost whipped it off to turn it right side out. "Almost" meaning I actually had my purse off my shoulder, my arms crossed in front of me, and my fingers grasping the hem.
I once not only went out, but arrived at my destination and played the violin for two hours before I realised that I'd forgotten to put a bra on. And I'm not poorly endowed in that department.
When I worked the front end of the supermarket, we had to wear these God-awful polyester vests. I came down from the bathroom once, walked through the whole store to the front end, before anyone told me that I'd tucked the back of the vest in my pants.
danf, sometimes on stage with the bright lights it's easy to forget there's an audience there! Luckily this (the episode when I was swinging free) was just a rehearsal.
I've often gotten as far as the open door before I realize I'm not wearing a shirt.
The cold air reminds me.
And I'm constantly showing up to work with shirts on inside out or backwards. Which used to make one of my old co-workers yell "Jesus God! Do you OWN a miiror?!"
At the age of 37
she realized she'd never ride
through Paris in a sports car
with the warm wind in her hair
So she let the phone keep ringing
as she sat there softly singing
pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorized
in her Daddy's easy chair
