Does this match?

Getting dressed successfully in the dark is actually a great accomplishment. First of all, you need to get the right garments: the right number of underthings (bra, undershirt, undies), two socks, one top, one bottom, two shoes, and maybe one jacket. Not including accessories. Secondly, and the thing I often find most difficult, you need to put these things on properly. Undershirts are easy to get mixed up with regular t-shirts. Did you get all your buttons in the right holes? Oh, nope. You missed that one in the middle. Gotta do it over again. Socks are interchangeable, but are you sure you didn't put them on inside out? How about your underwear? Are they on right or maybe they're either backwards or inside out? Maybe it's all of the above. Oopsies. Kind of as an after though, do all of your clothes match now that you've put them on properly? Black, red, blue, green, purple... they all look the same at 5:30am in the faint reflected glow of the porch light as it bounces down the hall.

If you're one of those who doesn't like additional light when you first get up, setting your clothes out the night before is a huge help. If that's too put-together for you, make sure you're really familiar with your wardrobe. Know where everything is and know what the different articles feel like. Sadly, Method Two is how I keep from being naked all day. I know that the clean laundry is on the chair by my bed. I know that the rough socks are the ugly green ones. I can tell by feel which shirts I don't want to wear. I can't really tell which are the ones I do want to wear, but the uncertainty at least lessened some.

But you know what? You have my slacker respect if you put on whatever is on your way out the door. Doesn't matter if it's backwards, doesn't matter if it's clean. You're out of bed and dressed. What more can we ask of you?
