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.

Punishingly Intricate

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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Lee!

I've been to plenty of cons. If there aren't any celebrities or panels you want to see, then you should do the math on the cost of the ticket. People-watching can be fun if you've never been to a con, but it's not something I can or want to do all day. Plus huge crowds are not relaxing. If you're not going to any panels or buying any merch, then maybe skip this one and go to the beach.

Yeah, the ticket isn't that expensive, and my friend isn't planning to go until mid-afternoon, which sounds actually better for me. I'm going!

ION, I feel like I can't tell how old anyone is anymore, and also people my age can be at any stage in their career. I just had to ask for birthdates on a bunch of our leadership, and it's fascinating! I was right that one of them is about 50, but now wish I had known it was actually his 50th birthday a couple of months ago. Also our CFO is significantly younger than me, which I knew in my heart, but not on paper.

I'm drafting a request for my medical records. This is one of those things that should go in an Adulting class.

Low cost + not actually spending the entire day there = have An Experience, Jesse!
