a gross miscalculation of pants

so, i'm sitting here sweaty and naked. sweaty because indiana is incredibly humid beyond all logical explanation. sweaty because indiana weather is beyond any accurate prediction and the rain that was supposed to be today is unabated sunshine in a cloudless sky. naked because...

in my efforts to pack light (i like to pack extremely light when travelling), i have made a gross miscalculation of pants. two pairs of jeans, good for two days each... possibly more, but considering the humidity, stink factor might grow exponentially instead of linearly. two days is playing it safe. one pair of khakis, good for one day. one pair of cool $3 gap pants, also good for one day. four plus two equals six. six times two is twelve... assume cooler weather due to the predicted rain, add an extra day to a jean and twelve plus one equals thirteen. if i wash on tuesday, i can get away with it.

but i have made a gross miscalculation of pants. one can only wash all four pants... if one is not wearing pants at the time.

buy a pair of pants at the gap. olive green, cargo, almost a military feel... i feel sexy. rework the numbers. four plus two plus one equals seven. seven times two is fourteen, minus one to account for doing laundry clothed equals thirteen. perfect.

in the wash: one pair khakis, one pair $3 gap cool pants, one pair sexy green pants, one pair jeans... one pair of jeans? one plus one plus one plus two equals five? five plus seven equals twelve. i'm wearing a pair of jeans as i wash... short again. damn.

rework it. five plus seven plus one equals thirteen. where to get the extra day? oh yes, i am naked.
