I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I'm afraid that, this weekend, the winner in the battle between Steph and the Time Zone Change

Wait, what? When am I supposed to switch the clock? Again! I'm reading conflicting things via Google.

Sorry -- I meant because I'm traveling from Ohio to California this weekend and the jet lag is gonna get me. We don't do anything to the clock until November.

you should totally come to the University Bookstore and see me interview Cherie Priest!

Jilli, that is so cool!

My outfit for the Hindu wedding ceremony arrived, and it is pretty! Tim's arrived, too, but I didn't open his, but I predict it will look awesome. I'm super annoyed that my dress for the Lutheran ceremony isn't going to make it on time, since apparently eShakti has fallen into a black hole.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

But hey, if you're awake at 6pm and don't have plans, you should totally come to the University Bookstore and see me interview Cherie Priest!

Yay! That will be an excellent evening.

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

Very cool Atropa!

Looking forward to pics, Tep!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

But hey, if you're awake at 6pm and don't have plans, you should totally come to the University Bookstore and see me interview Cherie Priest!

Oooh!! I have a team happy hour that ends at 6 in SLU, but depending on how traffic looks I can maybe duck out early and come to this?

Would like to see the dress again, Steph.

I, too, have an order coming from eshakti, but it's just a couple of every day dresses I wanted for summer. Still waiting eagerly but not anxiously.

That's cool, Atropa!

This magnificent dress. I love that print -- it's not a William Morris print, but it reminds me of one, just oversized.

We have some concerts in June, and I could wear it to those, if it ever actually gets delivered.

But I have other dresses I can wear to the wedding -- either this one or this one (the pink one is a little more beachy and the black one is a little more festive).

Punishingly Intricate

Oh yeah eshakti has been having some problems for a year or more.

Either of those other dresses are pretty! I especially like the darker one.

Thrive to spite them

That sucks about the dress but I love the first of your alternates.

Also having multiple things medical going on sucks JenP.

I had my dermatology appointment. I don't have skin cancer ! Yay. I do have xanthelasma which is the yellow spots. It's cholesterol build up under the skin and can turn into a raised area. The dermatologist said it would scar of removed so she didn't recommend that at the time. I was worried and messaged my Dr who said my cholesterol levels were awesome in Dec so he didn't thin I had high cholesterol but he could recheck in my next appointment which is next month.

The white spot is Seborrheic keratoses or the start. She froze that off. Those are benign but end up looking like a brown raised mole and I don't want that on my face. I do have one on my temple. Apparently you can just peel them off when they are like the one on my temple

Also solely due to the lack of clipboard history and only being able to copy and paste one thing at a time I'm never getting a Google Pixel again. Unless they fix it I might reconsider. It is the most annoying thing ever to constantly have to find the thing I want and copy it and paste it. I guess I could copy it into Keep Notes or something but I am used to Samsung's amazing clipboard.

I can't remember how to spell either of the skin issues enough for auto correct to kick in so I keep having to look it up. But Google can't figure out what I'm asking for either so I have to Google a description.
