8 minute quickwrite: Posturing

8 minutes. Is not much to speak of so I will write on a small Item. The bra. Today I forgot mine when I went swimming at the gym. How did I remember my lunch, my luke manuscript, even my mascara, (which I did not wear as lack of bra makes me much too sad to even consider make up). I also forgot my shoes. I am wearing wet shower shoes. I also wore these shoes to the Malakanyan which is the white house of the Philippines, so I do not feel so bad a wearing them to blue cross. I told my gym mate Lydia…. “uh, I forgot my bra… do have anything slightly resembling”. She handed me her sweaty sports bra. Bras are very important. They can determine if I feel like standing up straight with confidence or slouching in the hopes of not being seen. Bras are not the only item that can determine posture. Right now I am posturing. Posturing comfortability. I look fine with this sports bra drenched in someone else’s cold sweat. But I do not feel fine. I asked Jen with importunity if she could bring me these few things to work, as she has not left the house yet. When she heard that I was wearing Lydia’s soiled bra, she said “that’s disgusting, let me check with my carpool” I am glad I have a roommate who has such a strong sense of hygiene. I mean usually I am quite fine with what others would consider dirty. I usually only shower every other day. 8 am in now here. I must begin work
