That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

You know what's annoying about moving? I keep having to answer my phone when I don't recognize the number. Earlier Pacific Gas & Electric called to ask me if I'd entered the address correctly, because they called the person in that unit and they weren't planning to move. I'd been given two different addresses at some point during the lease-signing process, so I signed up for an account with whatever one their website recognized. I gave her the correct unit address and thanked her for calling. I've been using the correct unit address everywhere else, so hey, crisis averted.

And then my Doctor called. Any thoughts re: submitting a written request and picking up my medical records myself, or waiting until I find a Dr. in San Francisco and sending a request to have my medical records sent there?

I've discovered I really love dresses, long dresses with skirts that move. However, winter will be here, and my legs will freeze. Speak to me of plus-sized tights or their equivalent. Panty hose were of the devil and I think I'd rather have bare legs then wrestle with panty-hose-like things again.

Lane Bryant has good tights. I caught them on a ring and got a run, but the run hasn't moved in 6 months and several washings.

Oh, I took the plunge and ordered my first eShakti order. What pushed me over the edge, beside the 50% off sale, & the renewal of the $40 first purchase code was discovering that if you ordered through your mobile phone, they gave you an additional 20% off. (See? Cheap.)

So I got this with elbow length sleeves [link]

And this, as a knee-lentgh dress with elbow length sleeves. [link]

Freezing those is not actual easy in the summertime.

I'm lead to believe swimming in the North Atlantic will do it. Not that it's recommended.

Shrift, how much will they charge to send them out to you? A lot, I bet.

Sockdreams seems to have a good selection of plus-sized tights:

I love their Foot Traffic tights. Not super warm but fine if you work in an office.

If you want warmth for the winter, you might investigate thermal things - I used to work with a woman who wore skirts (fairly short) all the time and she got knee-length thermals to wear. She liked them - said they kept her from freezing.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

It's another thing you have to be personally responsible for, shrift, and there are a lot of those things, right now. On the other hand, you would know where your records are, and can decide when, and to whom, you hand them over.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like silk long underwear for that purpose. It can be too warm for in the office, though.

Y'all, we have like a dozen turkeys lounging on our grass out by where the trucks pull through to the loading docks. I have never seen so many!

Argh. Okay. That does make a difference.

At the dentist. Joy. Rapture. The best way to spend an hour or so (please, please, please be less than that).

I bought a bunch of new furniture when we moved. Mainly a combo of wanting to get rid of some hand me downs and needing to.find things that fit better in my new space. I'm glad I did it, but man, the cost.
