This morning…I wanted to sit on my
porch…and…I really didn’t want to get dressed…but…I really didn’t want sit out
in my nightgown…either…not…that anybody could really see me…not like most of my
neighbors were even up…well…except for one neighbor…who brings her dog out
early…and…can see my side porch from her yard…so…I guess it was for her…that I decided
to get dressed…
As I poked through my closet…I didn’t
find a thing to meet my needs…it was then I remembered…those dresses that I used
to have…that my friend referred to as…indoor-outdoor
dresses…loose…baggy…not requiring foundation undergarments…just as comfy as
a nightgown…but…a little more respectable…when answering the door…or venturing
out for the mail…
A sense of nostalgia swept across
me…not unlike the wind blowing tumbleweeds across the plains…where had all my…indoor-outdoor
dresses…gone…I knew I didn’t have them anymore…but…I dug…in the bottom of
drawers…just in case…only to come up…with painting shorts…and…a lab coat…leftover from my hospital days…and…I continued
to remember…housedresses…muumuus…dusters…none
of which were in my closest…
I settled on wearing…baggy shorts…and…a
baggier tee…they served the purpose…sans
foundation undergarments…but…somehow they just aren’t the same…I want nostalgia…I
want an indoor-outdoor dress…and…I think…I just might look for one…today…but...that would require...undergarments...hmmm...
