I broke the “diet” by purchasing two pairs of shorts. I do not wear these out in public. When it gets hot outside, I roam around the house in a Tee-Shirt and a pair of shorts; sleep in them; and toss them in the laundry when I perform my morning ablutions–which sometimes happen in the afternoon, but that’s another story.
I thought about this for a long time. I did not want to break the GAAD at all. On the other hand, I could not find a reasonable substitute. I cannot and will not wear soppy sloppy smelly shorts that have festooned my thighs for a day. Yet the alternative is to do a laundry with greater frequency than need be.
Nor can I wear a long flannel nightgown throughout the summer.
So–after a good deal of dithering I succumbed. I got two pairs of shorts. I don’t think I am a monster; I think, however, that it was all for the best that I really had to contemplate the possibility of the purchase. I had to find an excellent justification and I did. May I wear them in peace and may I wear them to pieces before I buy more.
