Item #7 on my to-do list today. Maybe it should be #1 or #2; I’ll think about it for a while. Needless to say, I don’t plan on leaving the house; but what if there’s a fire or a terrorist attack? One should always be prepared. ---

Reminds me of something that mildly irritates me: Getting my pants out of the dryer and finding that one leg has managed to turn itself inside out. How does that even happen? It’s very difficult to get them on that way. ---

> [@jasg](#): > > Regardless of position on the list, remember pants before shoes 😃 I recommend socks before pants, though. That way, if you have a little burr or hangnail on your toenail, it won’t catch on your pants as you put them on. This isn’t a big deal with jeans, but it can be if you’re wearing nice dress pants. (Though I suppose if putting on pants isn’t a priority at all, you’re probably not wearing dress pants.) ---

I haven’t had anything on but PJs and a hoodie all day. This is usually how I am. I am just lazy as hell. I got one sock on and I have been digging in the sock drawer looking for the mate. But I got up to turn the oven off, and forgot I only had one sock til just now, 2 hours later. I am gonna put the other one on as soon as I get back up stairs and find it. My life is just so hard some days! ---

For me baggy shorts answers the “to pant or not to pant” question. There is a breeze, plenty of air circulation and cover for emergencies. ---
