Material Concerns

What an embarrassment - whipping off my slipover as soon as I arrived at work, I heard the sound of rending cotton. That's not too cool. So it was back on with the slipover (aka tank top) for the rest of the day, with attendant overheating issues. No wonder I need to go back to work, I gloomily concluded. To cheer myself up I went off to the shopping centre at lunchtime and bought several pairs of socks.
So that could have been the high point of the day, but then, much later, I came out the boatie club meeting to see the ground all white with snow. My spirits were greatly raised. Until I remembered that I haven't ironed this week's shirts. Maybe I should have bought new shirts too.
