So I saw the U2 concert last night, in the driving rain. I should talk about it at some point.
I was wet. I was going to buy a t-shirt after the show anyway, but since my shirt was now a used rag, I just put it on outside TCF Bank Stadium so I would be dry. I would've bought shorts too, but they didn't sell any, so I was going down to Red's Savoy with my torso still very, very wet. And cold.
When I got home I felt my underwear; still quite waterlogged. And I was tired, so my thinking was this: I don't want to break out new undies because tomorrow is when I change, yet I can't just where my pajamas without underwear, so I'll just go to sleep naked. I mean, it's summer, right?
Right. So I did. Well, I did lay some pants on the foot of my bed so I could slip my feet under them (I'm a Pisces so my feet get cold), but other than that I passed out naked as a jaybird. I only do that when it's hot and My Father refuses to turn the air conditioning on. But the thing is, last night he did. Being nude was unnecessary. But I went to sleep sans clothes anyway.
I managed to sleep for a few hours before my body woke me up to tell me it was about to die of hypothermia. I had to find something, but then my mind thought this: If you're cold, why not where long underwear? So, while turning on, like 1% of my brain, I got into my closet and, almost blind by sleep, managed to find some long underwear. So I went back into bed ... only to realize that I was still cold, so I found a thermal shirt in the closet, too. And after another second in the bed I got up and put on some socks. So from dawn on, I was wearing socks and two pieces of clothing I'd usually wear only in the winter. That's what the title's referring to: I never thought I'd wear long underwear and a thermal shirt in the summertime, but that's what I did in order to go back to sleep.
And it felt nice, too. I kind of wonder what it'd feel like to wear such a getup on a day like today, sunny and in the 80's. But then I realized I'd probably fry, so I get that out of my head.
