I’d be cold. And I’d lose one of my better shirts. For some reason, most of my long sleeved shirts are sweat shirts, sweaters or the like. This is one of my few long sleeved t-shirts.

It’s too damn hot here so I’d go from wearing the minimum, to nothing. I’m in my office at home so that would be fine. Although I think if the neighbours happened to be looking the wrong way at the wrong time they might get an eyeful.

Screwed.

I’m at home, sitting in front a computer, but I have a doctor’s appointment his morning, and it’s cold outside. They charge if you miss an appointment, but the charge and health effects of going outside in nature’s apparel would be worse.

(I’m assuming you meant literally all clothes at my home. If it’s just the clothes I’m wearing right now, the only thing I’d miss is a warm shirt.)

I’m lying on my bed within arm’s reach of my dresser, so not remotely screwed. I would miss this Sevenly t-shirt, though. H
