So, I'm horrible at scheduling out. Like, really, really bad at it. On one hand, it makes for some exciting times with scheduling things, or it can screw me over pretty badly. This is starting to look like one of the later times. Yesterday, when I got rear ended while driving on the freeway, I went to buy some suits for my coworker's wedding, which is this coming weekend. It starts with a dinner on Friday, the wedding on Saturday, and brunch on Sunday. So, obviously, suits aren't going to fit me right away, so I need to get them tailored. A week's time isn't terrible, but considering many tailors are probably quite busy, expecially in a major metropolitan area, it's getting a little more stressful. Top that off with the fact that I still haven't recovered my savings, and still need to buy my coworker a wedding gift, that's starting to look a little more stressful. I'm probably going to have to ask my parents for money, which is tough, since my mother is out of town somewhere, for at least a few more days, and my dad's in San Diego or Mexico, I'm probably not going to hear back from them until at least Tuesday, then I still have to get the tailoring done, and hopefully it'll be done in time for the dinner.
Worse comes to worst, I might be able to reach out to my grandparents, but I'd feel really bad about that, since I really haven't talked to them much, and I'd feel abd about even just asking for a loan instead of a gift. I'll figure it out one way or another. I usually do. I'm good at that. It's not the best, but I somehow manage to fly by the seat of my pants for the most part, and it doesn't totally fail!

The time change has still thrown me off. It's not too bad, and I love the extra hour that it feels like I have. It helps fix my sleep schedule a bit, since I tend to stay up unhealthily late. Also, I realized I forgot to include a song today, so let's fix that! Today, let's do a cover. Originally by Arthur Russell, I think, "This Is How We Walk On The Moon" is a light, airy song that's been covered and remixed by many different artists. Instead of just doing a single cover or remix of it, I'm going to include a few different ones of my favorites, and let you enjoy them on your own.
