[Maybe a lot strange, but it's impolite to call someone crazy, especially when she'd invited this. Besides, couldn't someone have called her equally so when she'd thought it was the wrong year, and wouldn't it have been awful if someone hadn't believed her even though she was certain it was true?]

I see why you might find it disconcerting, then, to discover that today was the eighth. But I really am quite sure that yesterday was the seventh. I recall seeing so on this device of mine, even.
