After a long, cold day of working in the wind and the chilling temperatures yesterday (though slightly warmer than Pittsburgh), our group quickly realized we were not equipped for the weather. This could only have led to one thing- Goodwill.
We piled into the van and bombarded the store shopping for sweaters and other warm clothing, and it eventually turned into finding the most ridiculous items (sweaters that say: Love me, love my cat) and deciding to wear them today. Many of us wore flannel, button-up shirts, 80’s sweaters, and, for me, a brown crew-neck sweatshirt bearing a pair of sneakers accompanied by a Zen scripture about hiking and Mother Nature. I am pretty sure I will be wearing this every day for the rest of my life.
Of course, our apparel received compliments all day from our fellow Habitat for Humanity workers, but that’s to be expected when we looked so incredibly cool. Eventually, I will have to wear the overalls that I bought!
