Retiring Something

It was a sad day on Tuesday.

I put on one of my favorite shirts and noticed that it had a bit of a "thin spot".  It was too late to change clothes, so I wore it to work that way.  When I polled my family and one friend for opinions, they varied from "ready for the gardening/rags pile", "cut off the sleeves and make a short sleeved shirt", "put a sweater over it", and "change your shirt and never wear it again".

The decision became easier by the end of the day when it looked like this.

Since I don't have a sewing machine to hem it for a short sleeved shirt, it went into the garbage that night.  You know what that means.....a dreaded shopping trip some time in the future!  Either that or an online shopping spree, but sometimes that is difficult for shirts since how they're cut determines a lot about whether they fit correctly or not.
