Quick update: my Father's Day weekend included such events as:
A trip to the zoo. Highlight was the aviary, and realizing there was a cassowary parked right under the walkway.
Ryan singing a new song, a repurposed Richard Scarry tune with the working title of "Awesome Daddy".
Eating lunch at a food court today, with Ryan suddenly announcing that the kitchen opposite was on fire, and proceeding to act out a complete fire rescue.
The Canberra Raiders won their last match of the regular season, 42-22. That gives them a five-game winning streak, the highlight of which was ending the Bulldogs' eleven-game winning streak, the competition leaders and the team my brothers barrack for. They've won a home match for the first week of finals.
Good weekend.
Good weekend.
Indeed. Go Canberra! Go Cassowary! Go "Awesome Daddy"!
Amych, you made me giggle.
For a work of fiction I'm writing:
What kind of shops would a character visit in Portland Oregon for Goth clothes, Goth craft jewelry and decor? skull candle holders, skull necklaces only something less cliched. (Suggestions as to what is less cliched are welcome.) Also the character loves Chinese food. What is a really good Chinese restaurant in Portland? Not overly Americanized. If it is near Powells that is a plus.
Okay, so I was neither super productive nor did I go to the parade. But R is back in town, and we did get out of our respective houses and wander the French Quarter a bit. And we're going to see queer circus/burlesque later. I think we've managed to get the brain weasels to back off just a skosh, so that's good.
I just sat in my bathroom for twenty minutes with an unhappy cat while a tornado rambled about a bit north of me. Good times. The tornado's gone now, and I didn't even lose power. Still, it's a good reminder that the thunderstorms I love can get a bit frisky.
Medical question: I'm pretty sure I've got a UTI. I'm seeing my gynecologist on Tuesday anyway, so I figured I'd just mention it then. But now I've got a slight fever. Is this a thing where I should call the doctor tomorrow, or am I OK waiting until Tuesday?
tomorrow is a holiday.
if urgent care is open, I think you should go. take your temp and if it goes up, definitely go.
Hil, are you having any pain in your sides or back?
Hil, are you having any pain in your sides or back?
No. A little bit achy at the front of my abdomen, a bit below my belly button and off to the side, but nothing in my sides or back.
I've only had a UTI once before, so I don't really know what the time frame is supposed to be. And with the other one I had, I didn't even notice it -- it showed up in a urine test I was having for some other reason, and my doctor asked me, "Have you been having this bunch of symptoms?" and I was like, "Yeah, I guess I have. That all means something?"
