Spontaneous Nekkid Sunday

Today is SNS at my house. All chores and activities are being conducted without hindrance of clothing (except the thistles, I might add).

Actually, it was the thistles that did it. I have been slowly picking away (NPI) at them for the past week, but for the last two days, I have been lazy. So, today, armed with determination that comes from clean living and a good night's sleep (required from days of unclean living and little sleep), I strode forth at 7 AM dressed in long sleeves, long pants, and tall rubber boots to harass and generally kill the herd of thistles that live up on our drain field.

This must be done early in the day before the heat starts to accumulate due to the excessive clothing required, but even so, it is a matter of seconds - not minutes - before I am drenched in sweat. This morning was no exception and after forty-five minutes of this, I declared victory and left the field.

Once in the mud room, I doffed the boots, pants, and shirt and stood there dripping. Then I thought, "Hey, wait a minute. I am home alone. The kids are both gone for several days and the dog doesn't care. I'll just stay naked." That was approximately six hours ago. What a great feeling. The chores are done; the bread is in the oven; the annual maintenance on the HVAC system is taken care of; the paper is read - and all without a thread on.

We live in the woods and even the nearest neighbor has only broken vision through thick trees so I even took to sitting out on the screen porch. My only concern would be if someone dropped by unexpectedly, but then again, it wouldn't be the first time I answered the door nekkid (but the first time in about 30 years).

Overall, I would recommend it. The AC has been off all day (had that maintenance to do) and I have been totally comfortable in my natural state. I did have to take extra care when transferring a pan of boiling hot water from the stovetop to the oven for the final rise of the bread dough, but managed to get through that unscathed.

Opps, gotta go and get the bread out of the oven. Don't come over unannounced unless you are female and nekkid too.
