I find myself more comfortable these days
More comfortable in my own body
In my own skin
In my own worth
I find I forget to look in the mirror
Forget to comb my hair
It's mostly just me here
The dogs
The chickens
And the cat
Are as happy with me as I am
As they are with their little furry feathery tufty little selves
But when I found myself in Asda
And realised I was still wearing the same jeans I wore to clean out the hen house an hour earlier
Did I panic and vow never to do it again
Nah ... I quickly realised that no-one else knew
Exactly what it was I was up to an hour ago anyway
The green paint on the knees
Well it could be a new fashion statement
Maybe I should have brushed my hair though ....

Oh Sue, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who forgets to brush her hair sometimes before going out! I used to worry about it when I realised, but now I think 'well, nobody's commented or pointed at me or screamed so what does it matter?!'.
ReplyDeleteI was horrified a couple weeks ago when I went grocery shopping without my bra on - figured it out right before I arrived but didn't care enough to go back home and fix the situation. I was definitely uncomfortable while I shopped and tried to hide the fact!
ReplyDeleteI love this
ReplyDeleteAnd though I’m on the other side of the Atlantic
I’m in the same place
I always bump into someone I know when I'm at my scruffiest! My hubby doesn't give a toss - he'll happily nip out in the oldest clothes ever! Maybe it's not such a bad idea - he's very happy go lucky whereas I'm a worrier! We're in the middle of a family feud at the moment - I'm heartbroken - he says f..k 'em!
ReplyDeleteWe live in a rural area of about 1200 folks, to get food, hardware or almost anything we have to go “ to town”. Yeah, I wear my chicken boots and mens’ flannel bottoms in the winter and grungy TShirts in the summer. Just gonna go home and work in the garden or chicken house or basement anyway.

The best thing about very short hair - never have to brush it and nobody knows and it needs hardly any shampoo too! Win win.
ReplyDeleteThinking about shopping in Asda or any other .........some friends never go shopping in tesco or asda in one town near them because they say it's full of scruffy smelly people and arguing couples and screaming children and I realised that I never notice people when I'm shopping as I just look at what i'm looking for, So if you were in Stow in Asda I wouldn't notice you!!
