All my tank tops are in the laundry, so this morning I went looking in the closet and found a white, light-weight short-sleeved shirt. I put it on and was reminded of why it was in the very back of the closet, a missing button I had probably meant to fix last fall.

I looked at the shirt, fastened the remaining buttons, and said "ah, well, it's 2020, nobody cares," which is a combination of people caring less about appearance, and me being less likely to see anyone but cattitude than at this time last year.

An alternative story:

At the start of lockdown I found a round tuit and spent a couple of hours mending such things. Enthused by my own virtue I went round the house and found some more things needing minor repairs. That pile is still sitting there, reproaching me.

I know that feeling... I was mostly in sweat pants and track pants in Feb. March and April that rotated (I was recovering from surgery and could not have anything binding across my hips/stomach) and then went to rotating the same 4 pairs of black shorts this summer with a dozen T-shirts to rotate thru. (I need to order some new Ts soon), But it keeps the laundry pile small from my end of things... my wife has enough problems with her own laundry pile of ironing for work and doesn't need me adding to it, as she has to maintain a 'professional look' for her telemeetings etc.

Eventually I am going to need to buy some proper dress chinos again... the ones I have are worn, but I decided to wait until after the surgery and just haven't gotten back to it.

I'm happy to rotate the same shirts, but could use a second pair of shorts other than gym shorts: the gym shorts are sufficient for public decency, but lack useful pockets. (I had others, but their pockets have worn out.)
