Goodness, Katerina Bee. I'm so sorry about the accident and subsequent pain. I hope you're able to heal quickly.

{{{Katerina}}} Meep!

I know, it's a;ll so weaird. I remember thinking there was no way I'd be able to just put pedal to metal and get away to the grocery store. Which normally I really hate going to and wouldn't want to escape to.

I'm invited to a Sikh wedding in January. I may get to wear sari, so I am excited. Hope I can pull off the look with no fashion faux pas.

Hil. If you send me the PDFs I can pull them into a word doc for you. The quality of this can vary. Sometimes in order to preserve the pdf formatting, my software produces extremely funky word files. But, you know, worth a try. And sometimes you can cut and paste from funky file to another word file, and get what is important back in five minutes. Profile Addy is good. Post here when you have emailed me the pdf.

Oooh Katerina! Such FUN!

Here is my advice: Lots. Of. Pins.

Women I know who wear them all the time use none. Those of us who do it once or twice are well advised to safetypin the crap out of the lovely thing.

And flats! The little kick-walk is tricky enough in flats.

Thanks, Typo Boy, but since it's a graphics issue, I'm not sure that converting to a word file would help much. What I really need is to get it back to SVG, but I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

There is someone in the alleyway outside my window whistling "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen." Loudly, and while standing in the spot in the alley where the sound echoes right into my apartment. He was there last night, too.

This is kind of a pain in the ass, but can you scan it as a graphic into Word, then overlay what you want (i.e. retrace the green lines thicker, put a white box over the old title, then do a text box in the new place). In fact, I could probably do it for you tomorrow.

Thanks, but it's ten files, with a bunch of different fiddly things going on. I think my best bet would probably be to just redo them -- there are a few other things that I think I can make better. I've got some time tomorrow -- I should be working on my dissertation, but I'm kind of stuck on something, and my advisor has not responded to any of my emails asking about it, and I don't really want to spend time writing something that I'll end up deleting.

Flats, sfety pins, got it. I don't do heels anyway. Do I wear a sleeveless shirt underneath the sari?

Also I understand I am supposed to cover my head at temple. I figure I really can't use something like an old baseball hat or a gardening hat.
