Yeah, you don't have to lose consciousness to get a concussion. Five or so concussions down the line I can say that with no little authority.

Where's a responsible place to suggest meeting someone for dinner who's in Pasadena? If she can travel more than I can? Am I being shitty if I don't go into the Valley?

And that's not something you want to learn several days after the fact. I'd recommend getting checked out. I was spectacularly lucky but I don't endorse it.

Listen to the woman we keep threatening to wrap in bubble wrap.

I would also recommend getting checked out. I know from my kitty mauling that shock, for me at least, seems to manifest itself by me thinking I am fine!

Nora, have y'all been to Brocato's yet for lemon ice?

No, I've been obsessing over Hansen's Sno-Bliz deliciousness!

Will put Brocato's on the list.

Yeah, my mom had a concussion when she fell recently, and she never lost consciousness.

Based on her, too, you'll probably be finding new bruises and sore spots for a few days. Ice and ibuprofen are going to be your friends.

Now I want a ice cream maker too! But i think I'd get more use out of the soda maker. I want the penguin, but it's more expensive, and I really only want it because I like the glass thing better than the plastic ones.

I had to make sure the store was still open (or had reopened). It is.

Oh, man, they sell cookies online.

Yeah, I might go over there tomorrow.

Ooooh, I likey! Thanks. Now I wanna go to Portland along with buy an ice-cream maker and a soda dealie.

java, I ordered the Fountain Jet soda value kit dealie.

And now I might need to get the ice cream maker out of the guest bedroom. Hmmm.

tommy, goodness, I'm glad it wasn't worse but holy crap. You might want to at least take something for inflammation before bed. Maybe try to give yourself some extra time since you may be moving very slowly when you first get out of bed tomorrow.
