When I checked my phone yesterday morning, I saw that, on the previous evening, Jonathan had left a message asking me to drive him to work at 9. Unfortunately, it was almost already 9 o'clock, but I soon found that his mother was driving him in, so all was good.
Shortly thereafter, the merriment commenced. I laughed when I received this text from JJ.
idrk what to do cuz mom told me to grab her phone so i did, but i forgot it was in my pocket and i just went in to work with it and she went homeThen this:
i can’t exactly text her cuz i have the phoneLaughingly, I took the message into Sue, and she laughed too.
There was backing and forthing with both JJ and sister, Danica, who couldn't help as she was car-less and away on a sleepover. I told them that I would get it sorted in due course, but it wasn't long before Shauna figured it out, picked up her phone, and the world was once again set to rights.
It does show how reliant we are on these devices. In Shauna's case, she needs to stay pretty connected with work, for she has responsible oversight of all that goes on there.
As all of this was transpiring, Sue had another reason to laugh when she saw my outfit. It was my nighttime haberdashery: yes, often including the socks. I do wish that you could see the mottled, non-matching colours of my shirt better, but I think you can agree that I present a rather uncoordinated and unfortunate sight.

Love the gleeful expression on your face!
ReplyDeleteWith more than one thing to laugh about.
DeleteSuch a comedy of errors, complete with fancy dress.
ReplyDeleteLife can be fun.
DeleteOh my, you look just fine and comfy...but need the hoodie too of course. Loved the phone story...it is so familiar to be looking at photos on it, and then can't find my phone to make a call. Glad you all got through another family twist up!
ReplyDeleteWe do get attached to them. I can use my watch to find it if all else fails.
Deleteand sue is even in photo!
ReplyDeleteYes, a family photo. 😊
DeleteWell, that was fun and it's always great to laugh.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t tell it that well, but the phone incident was very funny.
DeleteThat is quite the outfit you have on there! I did not even notice Sue until I went back and looked at it again.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think I saw it for awhile too. I don’t always notice the detail in a photo.
DeleteNice nightwear! My husband is also partial to plaid pj bottoms and usually looks quite dashing in his choices.
ReplyDeleteBut not outside — for me. Shirts sometimes but not pants.
DeleteAC! Ya gotta wear PANTS!
DeleteIt would have made a good comic skit, especially since you were dressed for your role! I think the OOFOs complete your ensemble. https://youtu.be/7wRHBLwpASw?si=5Q8Dt9IRhh2MuvPP
ReplyDeleteThat video is most certainly not me. lol
DeleteThank you for the much needed humor! Love your style btw.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks.
DeleteI still try to resist when possible, the need to be connected via smart phone 24/7. When various people email and text me, unless it is urgent, I try to wait 24 hours before responding lest they think I am available on a second's notice. Of course, family is a different matter.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call it unfortunate; I'd call it quite fetching! Love those pants.
ReplyDeleteI like your outfit! It is weird to suddenly not have a way to communicate with someone.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the hoodie with the outfit. As long as you stay cozy is all that matters.
ReplyDeleteThat happened to Rick and me -- he left his phone here when he left on Sunday morning and of course couldn't phone or text. Finally, an email, which he saw hours later because he's not a constant checker (thank goodness!) Times changed from even 10 years ago!
ReplyDeleteQuite dashing attire!
ReplyDeleteNight time attire is a place for letting go of “fashion trends”….. I wholeheartedly endorse that notion….. comfort is the key to nighttime dress.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I am currently wearing as nighttime attire upper and lower long johns and flannel pajamas. I take the pajamas off before bed as the long underwear is sufficient and forms better so I do not get bunching of material under my 7-8 blankets. My wife is not “hot blooded, and has very light pajamas and one thin blanket.
At Christmas time, I purposefully to attempt a humorous flair, sported a red plaid flannel top and a coarsely different green plaid flannel bottoms.
My wife thought I was very silly (as usual). :)

She IS more “hot blooded” I meant in the above.
ReplyDelete😇
DeleteMaybe to choice of clothing contributes to your poor sleeping! Just sayin!
ReplyDeletePossibly in that I don't wear enough clothes. I can still get cold under a hoodie.
DeleteYou probably look like any of the other of us, greeting the day.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that outfit! The older I get, the less I care about what I wear, at least around the house.
ReplyDeleteThat is a funny tale! IT's wonderful the kiddies still need you!
ReplyDeleteYes. My daughters and grandkid use my mobile number, and also send photos. I hear a 'ding' and search the house for the dratted phone. What we use is still a landline, ourselves, and so the mobiles get left in a pocket, purse or whereever.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fine, fine costume, indeed.
