Hello,
Because yesterday was local Election
Day, I considered wearing something that had pockets on it. I like to keep my
keys with me when I work alone and my last three hours would be alone. It was
such a nice day that I knew I would be comfortable in my jumper, blouse, and
tights even though there was not a pocket among them.
Pockets were not the big problematic
issue of the day, but the tights which I had worn many times. I always get
dressed for work just before I go out the door as I do not want to get my
clothes dirty.
After getting to work it was not long
before I realized that the tights were a problem. It seemed they were sitting
lower than when I left home. At the moment I am dealing with some discarded
books so I stoop down to the floor and lean over from time to time. It seemed
necessary to go to the bathroom and make some upward adjustments.
I tugged these sliding tights up and
felt secure when I went back to my job with resolution to “throw these tights
away when I get home”. In about half an hour I was berating myself for even
putting them on because earlier I had noticed the waist seemed larger and it
seemed to be gaining stretch by the minute.
Through the rest of my day and evening
I alternately went to the bathroom for an adjustment, or furtively pulled them
up when I thought no one was watching or could see me. I also tried to note
where the security camera was in relationship to me. I certainly did not want a
record of my activities. When I got home I had no trouble remembering to toss
out this offending pair of tights. No regrets, no weeping.
In all of this I did not think about
my keys tucked away in my bag. Who needs keys all the time anyway?
Paula
