MOM, rise and shine! You have to run out to the curb with the trash before the truck gets here, I can hear it up the block! (She didn't take it out last night because coyotes would spread it all around.) You can wear your bathrobe, no one is going to worry about a woman of a certain age out there dressed that way. It's part of the invisibility of middle age and beyond. An under-appreciated superpower.
