'Tis almost 1:30 PM, and I’m still in jammies. Housework is more comfortable in jammies!

Grey sweat jammie pants, oversize grey t-shirt, black Dearfoams, K-T tape on my inflamed hamstring.

I give myself until 2 PM to get dressed, but some days I’ll stretch that to 3 PM.

And now I’m off to clean the shower, and the required dress for that is nothing!

Why are health care offices so cold! Especially the ones who make you get naked and put on a paper dress?

The dental clinic we use is located at the North Pole, and is unaffected by global warming. I remarked in the waiting room that I expected to see ice cube trays and Popsicle boxes on the half walls in the treatment rooms. A lady sitting behind me almost fell off her chair from laughing so hard.

Black slacks and a blue-and-white-stripe dress shirt. Earlier, I also had a red tie and a belt, but I’m home now, and took those off. I also changed into my ancient, falling-apart, comfortable shoes that I basically use as slippers.

The people who work there are moving around a lot and doing stuff. You are sitting there, probably somewhat anxious (or straight-up scared). What feels cold to you is probably the temperature they need to avoid overheating from activity. Dress for cold when you go to the dentist.

It is good to be a non-married freelancer who lives alone.

Working upwards:

Two pairs of socks (and slippers)

Briefs and [bib longs](https://www.evanscycles.com/fwe-coldharbour-thermal-padded-bib-tights-EV332898)\*

A vest and two cycling tops (and a fleece)

(Had to eat before showering, hence the civvies on top. It’s February - it’s cold out.)

  - It pisses me off that Longs are now increasingly called tights. (Cyclists did wear tights - heavy dernier - under shorts, for warmth.) There are three types of outer clothing: longs, shorts and three-quarters.

Purple dress, gray cardigan, black pumps. I have to go to a ceremony directly after work, and there’s like a hundred percent chance of rain today. I’ll just have to hope we _all_ look bedraggled. 🙂

I showered and shampoo’d. So over the top of my new **Sloth** , imprinted jammies I have a towel on my shoulders. Grandwrek came in and asked was I playing super hero with my cape. That kid cracks me up (:))

You know how Einstein supposedly had a dozen identical outfits so he didn’t waste time selecting/matching clothes? Well, I’m just boring:

White tank top, gray gym shorts, fresh drawers, no shoes or socks at this time–I’m a hillbilly by nature.
