January 26, 2020 - 135 - "Did You Get Dressed in the Dark?"

   I've been in that weird on-call Never-never Land this month.  I've hardly flown at all...but, of course, I didn't know that ahead of time.  This morning I was extra-stressed.  I woke up around 5:30 and made the mistake of checking the Assignment List.  Big mistake.  I was only two down the list and there were tons of trips open.

     I checked, for the 4 billionth time, that my ringer was turned all the way up and tried to go back to sleep. 

    Not happening. 

    I gave up trying to sleep and thought I'd work off some of the nervous energy by exercising.  I didn't want to wake Michael so I dug in my dresser drawer for workout clothes in the dark.

    The drawer is fairly organized.  I know that leggings are on the left, tops next to them, exercise bras in the left plastic drawer divider, socks in the right one, and my sneakers are to the right of those.  I grabbed an item from each category and put them on. 

     Once I was upstairs in the light and could see my outfit creation I thought I wouldn't have done much better in the light.  Light pink leggings, black bra, gray top, and gray sneakers.  Not bad at all. 


     I did my workout and some work at my desk. 

    



 Several hours later Michael commented that he liked the combo. 

Me:  Thanks!  It's kind of a miracle because I, literally, got dressed in the dark.

Michael:   I like the pink and gray.

Me:  Thanks.

Michael:  But what's that on your butt?

Me:  (Turning so I could see in the mirror.)  Oh...that would be the tag.  I can make fashionable choices in the dark but, putting them on right side out is tougher.
