Time Bubbles

I finally got tracking information on eBay for some mineral oil I ordered.
But I had to ask eBay a question.
How did my order arrive at a shipping partner, a day before I ordered it?
For clarity, Michigan is east of Texas in regard to time zone.
My order was placed on Nov 1, but it appears that it arrived at a shipping partner on Oct 31. While the notification that it was finally shipped came on Nov 5.
I ordered the oil, and I went to many vendors on eBay to find pure mineral oil, for my eczema. I have very sensitive skin. I am allergic to aromatic hydrocarbons. For me, opposite of most of mankind, they produce chemically induced depression. I learnt to ignore depression a long time ago, but it took time for me to learn why I would get depressed when nothing I knew of actually changed.
Or one can say, I am allergic to pollutants.
Well, I did not actually figure it out, I ended up in a paint booth one time, and it nearly killed me. A doctor told me. When I was young, one time my whole body turned red and every part of me swelled up, and I had to bathe in calamine lotion for days. The docs did not know what triggered it.
annoying, but no biggie.
Right now, I live under a flight path to a major airport, which means, it is always raining hydrocarbons.
However, think of what I could do, if I could get hold of eBays time bubble machine! I could side step time itself.
Well, for now, forever bummed, but tomorrow, I might not even know what day it is, for it will be entirely new.
