The guy setting up the electricity in my new apartment is supposed to come sometime between 8 and 12 tomorrow morning. I just remembered that I've got a beach chair in the trunk of my car, so I guess I'll set that up on the front porch and wait for him there, since it'll probably be a little cooler than waiting inside.

I bought a lawnmower! I'm going to mow as much of the lawn as I can in 30-45 minutes in about an hour and a half (I try to do outside stuff right around sunset because the Flaming Orb is even more evil this close to the equator).

Hil, you can tell her you're already making a list for your tornado kit. That will give her something to perseverate on.

Okay, so I was out power walking tonight, and my right leg started to tingle, like it was falling asleep, but I was upright and moving. I kept walking for another 10 minutes or so, then my right arm started to tingle as well. I slowed down, headed home, tingling subsided, but has kept up off and on for the last three hours or so. I've alway s had arms and legs that fell asleep easily (i.e. when I cross my legs or curl an arm under me when I sleep), but I'm wondering if this is something that I should be worried about (as in, should I go to Urgent Care tonight, sleep sitting up in case there's a blood clot, etc.). Thoughts, hivemind?

Debet, I am not sure when we will get to visit our relatives in Hawaii next, but when we do I'll let you know. They have a house in Puna. I remember Waimea very distinctly.

Vortex, do you have insurance with a nurse advice line?

Actually, I think just about all insurance has a nurse advice line. So I guess the question is are you insured.

Vortex, it sounds more like a nerve issue than a blood clot. I wouldn't worry too much, unless you have other symptoms of a stroke or TIA.

Please do, Burrell. I have been to Hilo too much lately, but, eventually I'll be down with heading down there again.

We got around most of the island while we were there, Debet, so I'm guessing if we go there, I can find a way to meet up with you.

So, the nurse advice line advised me to call 911. I felt really stupid, but I did it (and then ran around frantically cleaning my place). EMTs came, took BP (little high but not unexpected given the fact I'd been told to call 911). Refused transport to hospital, will go to the doctor in the morning.

When I have had that issue the chiropractor fixed it. It happened to me often when I marathon trained.
