flower_cat scheduling update

The flower_cat was somewhat miffed to find that her surgery (originally scheduled for a week from today) had been postponed. They originally offered her two weeks from today, which would have put it on the first day of Baycon. Hell no! So the current date is June 3rd, which means she can go back to taking her asprin until (by my reckoning) the Wednesday before Baycon.

Every silver lining has a cloud around it.
