This was the second day in a row where I didn't feel much like doing anything. Today was very different, as my lack of energy had to do with my body as a whole, and not just what was going on in my head. So, I expect that this will be a shorter post than usual.

Today would be a jammie day. Often, I sleep in a comfortable slip or nightie. The last time I remember wearing anything from my male wardrobe to bed was when I had my last sleep test for renewing my CPAP machine prescription. Yet, I'll bet that some of the stuff I wear to bed may look a little strange on my body. But comfort and self image are the most important things - especially when no one is going to see me in my bed clothes.

Recently, the second of two watch bands broke on me. (Two different watches, the second bought as a replacement for the first.) I have a third watch I wear as a backup, although the band is much worse for wear than I would like. (It needs a new battery.) Sadly, Timex doesn't sell this watch (and band) anymore, so I can't replace it. I am old fashioned enough to wear wristwatches both for telling time, and for adornments on my wrist. A watch is the one piece of "jewelry" which is practical and serves a purpose other than adornment, and I'm used to wearing the same watch whether I am presenting as a male or female.

Thinking about things I wear, I decided to take some clothes out of my closet and put them into a donation bag. I have way too many things I bought in Universal Standard's "Mystery Boxes" that I didn't wear enough to get my money's worth from their purchase. But pruning these things from my closet makes it possible for me to buy new things that I will wear. (I'm no longer fantasizing about going to work again, so why keep the 50% of a wardrobe that reflects a pre-retirement image of myself.

I thought this would be an even shorter post when I started it. Yet, it's nice to think a little about the things I wear. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep looking appropriate in whatever I pull out of my closet and jewelry chest.
