yeah, soon it’s going to be too late to go to sleep early, but what can i do? i have 15 sweater or little jacket kinds of things, that i’d theoretically wear over a shirt. i waear short-sleeved shirts because of doing massage, but i could have on one of these FIFTEEN different sweater-type things if i wanted to.
but when i was pulling all these sweaters out of another closet and putting them into my main closet, i thought about the fact that i rarely wear any of these sweaters, even though most are cute, most are stylish, and i know that i’ve only worn a couple of them maybe once or twice.
what do i wear instead? i have this black fleecy kind of zippered jacked, that amy gave me a few years ago, that goes with a pair of black sweats. the jacket is a ANIMAL HAIR MAGNET, and usually is pretty well covered with some kind of animal hair.
i wear it all the time.
i lost it for a while last winter, because i left it at the center for the arts when i was in a play, but one day my mom went there and looked in the lost-n-found, and there it was.
since it’s been chilly the past few days, it’s the only jacket i’ve even thought about wearing.
why do i even HAVE those 15 other sweaters, then? to take up room in my closet.
on the other hand, i only have ONE bright yellow hooded jacket to wear when running when it’s chilly. it’s good to wear because it makes me highly visible, but i desperately need one more bright jacket of some kind, so i don’t have to wear the bright yellow jacket every day because it’s just not very hygenic because i don’t do laundry every day.
too bad i couldn’t trade in a few of the sweaters for a new running jacket.
maybe i’ll look for one tomorrow afternoon, except it’s a holiday so there will probably be too many people out in the stores.
garrison keillor wrote a nice little column today about the importance of being happy, making your own fun, stuff like that, stuff that i KEEP SAYING (but not usually heeding).
i’m really going to sleep now.
i wish i had a really good book to read.
goodnight, sweet dreams,
grace
