caught still in my nightgown at 9 am (on topic)
I have developed a new pattern to my day which was working well until
someone rings the doorbell. I am out of bed by 6 am and read the newspaper while eating breakfast. By 7:00 I am ready to start my day but the men folk in my house are using all the hot water. Lately I have been coming to the computer and reading the newsgroup until those men folk are out of the house. This works well as long as I watch the clock. This week there have been more postings and private emails to answer than usual. Yesterday the doorbell rang at 9. I forgot I wasn't dressed and answered the door! Fortunately I had on my best robe and the neighbor was in her jugging outfit so she didn't look too good herself. I have a reputation as an early riser. I am often in my quilt studio by 7 am. I think I better go back to dressing before I sit down at the computer. You guys are too long winded for just a quick look. Susan Price |

I prefer to take my shower after doing the daily housework, so I've often
gotten caught myself! I keep swearing that won't happen again, but then it does. LOL -- LN in NH a crazy quilter * hand quilter * & hand appliquér all in all --- a very slow quilter....

I've had a few days when the creative juices started flowing at the crack of
dawn as I drifted, in my nightgown, coffee in hand, into my workroom............I then shower about 11pm, put on a CLEAN nightgown and go to bed. I have found that the shower and clean nightgown routine is a good one since it saves having to pick all those little snippettes of thread off the sheets later. But then, I only live with a cat who thinks it's very convenient to live with somebody who is sewing in her nightgown all day. This makes for great burrowing into napping spots in an unmade bed for him and seems oblivious to the threads occasionally stuck to his coat. I spent many, MANY years rolling out of bed at 3am to get myself and single mom household pulled together for the day so I could be on the job by 5:30, 8 hour work days usually stretching to 12 and slipping my passion for sewing and gardening into the little time left in each week. Always trying to look on the upside of being disabled and no longer able to work I've found a great perk to my present condition. If there's a knock on the door at anytime on "nightgown" day I answer and A: I can peek around the door and say (with a rather pathetic tone), no it's not a very good day for me, why don't I call you later, and scurry back to my sewing with a cat who swallowed the canary grin B: It's a good friend who loves and accepts my ever honing of eccentric ways and they slip into the door and head for the coffee with no comment whatsoever and settle in for a chat or C: answer the really the stupid question of "aren't you dressed yet?" (similar to "are you hurt?" after falling and with a resounding thud on the ice) with the answer of; "No, I haven't done laundry for two weeks and with my Dr's appointment coming up Thursday and I'm saving my last pair of clean panties for that."

If I'm at home I'm in my pj's. Something about wearing bra's. No they
don't hang around my waist...yet. But it's my home and I'm going to be comfortable in it. So whether it's 9am or 4pm pj's it is. Don't care who comes to the door. My mother-in-law is just horrified by this. She is up showered and dressed by 7am every day. Even if I go out in the middle of day as soon as I come home I'm back in my pj's.

Mom was one to clean house all day-in her nightgown.
After growing up with that I am up and dressed pretty early myself. Taria "LN (remove NOSPAM)" wrote: I prefer to take my shower after doing the daily housework, so I've often gotten caught myself!

Same here. Being home & disabled, I've earned the right to stay in my
jammies whenever I want. I only get dressed for company or to leave the house. If I do get dressed, and don't go out, the family asks what I'm all dressed up for. I'm making up for all those years I worked 65+ hours a week. The creative juices flow better when I am comfortable & unencumbered by the restrictions of street clothing. You bring up a good point, too, about how others view you. When I am well enough to go to a social gathering, all dressed, etc., then the in-laws think I'm 'all better'. You don't get 'all better' from Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, a herniated disc & connective tissue Disease. Never mind the 3 days it will take me to recover from being there, that is if no one there is sick. Also, no apologies or guilt, and no explanations...they wouldn't remember anyway. -- Royce A day hemmed in prayer is less likely to unravel.

There are so many comfy casual/lounge clothes out now I
wonder why folks just don't hang around the house in those? Taria Diana Curtis wrote: A woman after my own heart. Bras... bah humbug! It helps to sleep in clothing that is considered ok to wear in public... t shirt top and undies...a quick pair of pants when someone comes to the door. This way Im always ready for a nap too! Diana |

I have several different sweatsuits - without the elastic at the bottom of the pants. In winter, I wear the matching sweatshirt and pants. In summer, I just wear the pants and a T-shirt - or my flannel knock-around pants and a T-shirt. I have several T-shirts of places we've been, which look nice so when the mailman comes to the door with squishies, I dont' look TOO shabby. Just comfy. I also wear a pair of wool camp socks around the house, as my feet get cold, we have tile floors and the AC is always on high for the rest of the family!
