ffloCan't find the undergarment I often employ on such occasions--- sort of a combo bra & tank top. This joins the shirt I saw in a picture of me the other day & realized I haven't seen in a while. And I really like that shirt. It's soft, and warm, and a funny combo of near-maroon and slightly plaidish maybe-yellow, plus white and I think black.
The frustrating thing is that I actually went through all the clothes in the house yesterday, pretty sure, and turned up neither. That was with the whole day off. Even looked a little more today. Can't even think of a spot it could be in now. But then again I found something under the dresser a while ago--- now I forget what!--- that I'd been searching for for virtually forever.
Also can't find a couple of other things. My yellow glasses. My "I Am a Consenting Adult" button, or the (broken again?) little plastic-bejeweled box it might be in. (I did find my "I Got This Way from Kissing Girls" button. These might be part of my 80s outfit for the next chorus show.) My idea of this coming winter is that a be a sorting through stuff in the house time, and deciding on places for at least most of what I'm keeping, and putting the things in those places, and delivering the donations I have set aside plus a lot more to join them, and tossing other stuff. Starting with the bedskirt I just put in a trash bag today.
Forfunately, I don't NEED the missing undergarment tonight. On my mind more is how the sound at the run-through was weird, and I'm a little anxious about how that'll play in the Freighthouse, and the library lights didn't have the tripods with them that they did before, so the show guy is scrambling to figure out what to do about that. Plus I have a little concern about my mobility and stamina issues, and succeeding in getting all the library equipment back, preferably late tonight.
The bigger problem is arguably that this event is a fundraiser for my community chorus, and we've laid out $4800 for the catering alone, and so far have only sold enough tickets to cover that portion of the overhead. We've got a good shot at breaking even, but the silent auction is potentially setting itself up for failure, and all in all this may well be the last time we do anything like this. All THAT said, nobody's gonna die (quite probably) if it tanks, and if they do, it very probably won't be a result of the event tanking.
P.S./ETA: I have 6 pairs of black pants. Not counting jeans!
