I consider myself to be fairly intelligent, but sometimes I do something so stupid it makes me question whether or not I should check myself into assisted living. I was out of clean running clothes this morning. I usually hand wash everything until it's too funky for even James Brown to handle. The only thing acceptable was the stuff I wore on last nights running, which was hanging in my shower still wet.
The dryer cost a dollar at my apartment, and that seemed mighty steep for one shirt. What's a guy to do? I know, I bet if I throw it in the microwave for a minute then hang it in front of the air conditioner it'll be dry in no time. Now what I wasn't considering at 4:30 this morning is that most athletic wear is pretty much made of plastic. I melted my shirt. Instead of being out a buck, now I have to buy a $20 shirt.
Anyway, I ended up wearing stuff I fished out of the Bog of Eternal Stench and did a smelly 8 miles in 55 minutes. Tomorrow is 75-90 minutes easy in a shiny new shirt.
You did not microwave your shirt!! This is the most hilarious thing. I'm off to contribute my $5 support of the blog to go toward a new running shirt.
ReplyDeleteSo your "support my blog" link doesn't work. You need to change it to paypal and I bet you will have regular contributors. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, and even as I was doing it I said to myself, "This is stupid". Thanks for the heads-up and thanks for the attempted donation.
ReplyDeleteNevermind, I got it to work. I can't wait to tell my husband the microwaved shorts story when he sees the money come out of his account! PS - you have four comments now!
