Welcome back to the fray, Epic! It's always good to see you here.

bonny, good to see you too! Menopause is a harsh mistress.

I've been feeling like crap lately. I wish I'd either get better, or go on and get sick for real so I can stop feeling like I need to power through it!

Since you can't return easily to a store, I'm skeptical of eShakti

eShakti is really easy to return things to. I had to return one shirt because the sleeves (three-quarter length with a cuff) because the cuff was too tight. I waited a little too long to get the cash/credit back, but they gave me a gift card in the amount of the return that I able to use later.

I'm not sure if I've ever returned something that required me to mail it back. Maybe once or twice.

Maybe, Windsparrow, but my diary comes out on Sunday. I mean, unless I choke a bitch. Apparently, there is no group effort small enough that there can't be Drama(and not Johnny Drama) I mean, I want it to turn out, but if I don't kill myself, maybe fifteen people will read it. If I knock myself out responding to all this pressure, wow, maybe we can get that total up to, wow, twenty-five or thirty...we have new moderators and they are very into Getting it Right. But Kosability is very much like a local bar with tight-knit regulars...it's never going to be Hooters.(and it's ironic because I think the last moderator invited a bunch of people to do stuff before they could finish Articulating their Vision or whatever, and feelings are still bruised, I guess? Really?)

Kos strikes me as someplace very concerned with the Proper Way of Doing Things, Once We Decide What's Proper.

(In fact, I may have just sent the link to Tim with "Birthday Present Idea" in the subject line.)

Aha! So my timing is also masterful!

Welcome back to the fray, Epic! It's always good to see you here.

Thanks, so great to be here!

Hate this feeling. When you feel crappy, but in a sort of undefined way so you feel like you're overindulging yourself if you acknowledge that you feel crappy or being lazy if you try to take it easy. Hope it resolves itself soon - preferably in a Feeling Better sort of way.

No need to worry Epic. Sorry things ahve been hectic good to see you again.

I went to work. It went faster today, one co worker I find annoying wasn't there and there was a lot to do. I think I got everything done, I did the best I could.

I did help one customer and she was asking about a modem and I was showing her a router. I figured out really quickly and apologized and said I'd been out for awhile. But I am so no ready to be on the sales floor.

They changed some scheduling stuff so sales people have a chance to do their things before opening and get the daily paperwork of check ins and stuff done. There was an email about when you'r eon the clock you shouldn't be eating breakfast and there's one person who goes to the morning meeting thingie and eats oatmeal. It's annoying and I wondered if it was directed at her and if this stuff is goingto be enforced.

askye, I'm glad work went better today. I hope every day gets a little easier for you.

I win at today! I called the consignment shop and she agreed to take a look at the sundresses! So, Mom is taking them home with her (because the consignment shop I like is closer to her). 5 less items in my closet and possible money!

Yes, Connie. I find it ironic for a bunch of "draft-dodging peace freaks" but there it is. I think it's because some of the people on the front-page really are regarded as experts in whatever they do and go on TV and stuff. Some of the other bloggers really also want to be Credible and Ready For their Close-ups(Which, I get, but I'm also a little fed up since I've been waiting for a big break that never comes for, like ten years or more.And the thing about "going viral" seems to be that you can't predict it anyway so it seems silly to be constantly prepping. Sometimes I think it's the worst that Billo hated us and made us famous.)

askye, I've been so impressed with your progress and determination--you're really an inspiration. I'm sorry I missed wishing you happy on the day, but let me wish you a wonderful, productive, and good year ahead.

epic, welcome back, and all good thoughts to your mom.

I'm really impressed with all you closet-clearers and wardrobe parers. It's hard to let go of stuff, sometimes, so doing it is both onerous and exhilarating. Go you!

bonny, good to see you here. Continued good thoughts for both health and housing. I'm sorry both are being problematic and unpleasantly prolonged.
