Shift

In case you doubt, this is the definition, among many.
Archaic A, woman's chemise, B, loosely fitting dress, like a chemise but with straighter lines. The shift is nothing more than an easy fitting sheath, street length or to the floor.
So today as I got out of the shower I was wishing for a Shift. A change from my regular clothes, a shift to a more comfortable feeling. (I did not want a lot of clothes on.) Or should I say a lot of tight fitting clothes, I just wanted comfort.
Shifts used to be so easy to purchase. I remember Louellen always had several, She was always in a neat shift. I never wore them but today I wish I could find one.
I may just have to make my own.
They often had button but could have snaps.
They were usually cotton blend and very cool.
When you work in the yard all day and are exhausted, all you want is something comfortable to wear. something to set around in and look Cool. Cool as in Cold not Cool as in Nifty or whatever the phrase is for the 21st century.
This phrase came from the 50's or 60's. Maybe before but I would not know.
Today I went to town for a few returns. I took back an item I can only tell the girls about. They will have a good laugh. I took back printer cartridges, I then took my old one in for a refill. So far so good.
I picked up grout for my bathroom tile, it has one spot cracked so I will repair it. (grout was free from Tile City).
I ate lunch by myself. I was so hungry I bought a cheap hamburger. It was pretty good. Only $1 .49 but it hit the spot. I usually do not eat in town, I do not like to but today was a necessity as my sugar was on the way down. I did accomplish a lot then on to the irrigation supply for drip hose for my orchard. I came home and sat on the ground and finished putting it to my trees. Then on to the Cannes, by the drive, I put the old drip system there, the one I removed from the Orchard. (Why? Because the orchard needed a bigger hose.)
Then I got so tired I decided I had enough, David had gone to buy gas and he was more than ready to quit too. After he worked all day, training the guys, he had to go to the store to buy the gas. That helps me a lot, I can have gas for my tractor when I get outside. Besides after paying for gas who feels like working?
Now my plans are to sit and do nothing, we are eating what ever we can find. Mine will be a bowl of cereal and he can have reheated roast beef or whatever he wants.
At this moment I am too tired to worry about food.
Kind of over did it the last few days. But as I said, the summer is coming and I must get it done. NOW!
