I am really not sure how to begin this blog post. I guess that I should start with my limitations:
I first need to say that I no longer can regulate my body temperature. I spend my days switching from wearing a hoodie to taking a hoodie off all day long!
Another limitation I have is chewing my food. It has become extremely difficult! So much so that the foods I eat are very limited and I drink my breakfast and lunch every day and I have been doing that for months now. If anyone wants to buy me Atkins shakes, (I would NOT be adverse to it! I drink the Dark Chocolate Royale. Because those bad boys are expensive!) 😜😜😜
Now, with that being said, today was the day that I could answer my Mom’s question in the affirmative. Yes. The answer is yes! Now, let me tell you the question.
A little while ago, I ordered some T-shirts in a size medium. I used to wear size medium when I was 28. I gradually moved up to a large and after I stopped working, I was an extra large for a short time, (NOT that I am proud to admit that!)
As my T-shirts and my sweatshirts we’re getting too baggy for me, my Mom told me to order new T-shirts and a sweatshirt. Over the years, I have found that the nflshop.com and Fanatics.com make excellent sweatshirts and T-shirts. They are comfortable! So, I went on Fanatics.com and looked for some T-shirts because the weather was getting warmer.
Being on disability, I need to make my money stretch! I agreed with my Mom that I needed new T-shirts because they were getting too big for me. So, I looked through this site in the middle of the night a couple months ago.
I graduated from U of M Dearborn and can clearly remember the speaker at my masters degree graduation ending her speech with, “Go Blue Forever!” To tons of cheers from the gym in response. So, saying that I purchased shirts and sweatshirts from either the nflshop.com or fanatics.com, I tend to look at the U of M apparel most. I do, however, buy a shirt from them every year during March Madness to whatever school knocks Michigan State out of the tournament.
For the last two years, they have also knocked Michigan out but I still rock the shirts because they also knocked Michigan State out! Sean tells me that I am petty but I don’t care! We talked about the fact that I have an alma mater and that most of the clothes have a Jordan logo on them.
So, remembering that I am on a fixed income, the fact that vintage Michigan T-shirt with just the word Michigan in maize written across a navy blue shirt was on sale, I bought four of them. I think it was a month later that I bought one sized medium sweatshirt with the same maize lettering and a navy blue sweatshirt.
The question my mom asked me thinking it was absurd was that, ”Are you always going to wear Michigan T-shirts? (Because I have four of the same shirts now and a sweatshirt that looks the same). I was unbothered by the question and I looked at her and matter-of-factly said, “Yes. The answer is, ‘Yes!’” I changed out of a large Michigan sweatshirt and a medium Michigan T-shirt to a clean, medium Michigan sweatshirt and a medium Michigan T-shirt.
