Bragging (and why my underwear drawers are racially segregated)

[mamadeb]

So, as I said last week, I purchased new undergarments in a smaller size.


I was fairly sure they'd fit, but not, you know. Definite about it.

They do. And I'd been wearing too-large ones so long I forgot what that felt like. I just happily tossed a bunch of superannuated ones that needed tossage, too.

I only have one problem. I bought these online, and the colors offered were either White or Assorted. For various reasons, I need both - white ones to wear during the week pre-mikvah and colored ones the rest of the time.

There's nothing like packing for a four day trip that happens just at changeover (when the period ends and the "white" days begin) - except I *never* know when changeover is until it happens. So I have to pack both colored and white underwear. I've also gone to mikveh during cons - ah, the joys of going to an entirely unknown neighborhood miles from your hotel on a Saturday night - and possily paying your cab driver to wait for an hour, too -, so I need both types there, too. However, given that I have a week's warning, I don't need to pack double.

To keep them straight, I put the colored ones in one drawer (along with my nostepinne) and the whites in another (along with the bras and stockings). Thus, I have Jim Crow underwear drawers. Drawer drawers?

Anyway, the Assorted I got were - well. Pink and purple, whicih are fine, and prints, which are problematic (and not really my taste), and white. I also bought white, not realizing that the Assorted would contain white. Not that having a couple extra pair would hurt, but it's annoying.

On the other hand, they're size 7! And they fit!

Which usually involves showing the rabbi the underwear.

Oh, that sounds like tons of fun. NOT.

That's what husbands are for. You put the underwear in a baggie and let him talk to the nice older man.
