I'm thinking of buying a bunch of blueberries now and freezing some for baking after baby wen I can eat baked goods again.

oh mac, you were having such a good day, then you think taking an hour and a half to get to bed after I tell you to find a spot to shut down your game AND sassing me AND not feeding the dog AND not putting away dishes I TOLD YOU THREE TIMES ABOUT. he just thinks he'll have computer time tomorrow. he wrong.

Oh, as usual, dear. Mac, you should know by now what happens with you and privileges when you neglect all your everythings and sass your mom on top of it. You should know, hon. Have completely non-electronic fun tomorrow, child!

Matilda and I just got back from an afternoon in Golden Gate Park that included this event and this mini skate park (so much 80s and 90s hip hop, so much Beastie Boys -- I kept wishing I could teleport Allyson up here to bellow along with all the lyrics and soak up all the various folks of various ages and body shapes being both dorky and graceful and utterly shameless about it), and it was all utterly amazing, every second of it.

It is the hour of everyone who put off the work that was due Friday and who have just realized that work is due first thing in the morning.

That probably should be me, but I am paralyzed by not caring very much. Also the heat. There may be some synergy between the two.

Have grocery shopped. Have not made, for examples, tomorrow's breakfast and lunch. Or tonight's dinner, but I think I have decided I just don't need an actual meal tonight. I will be in air conditioning tomorrow, though, so probably not so much appetite suppressing going on.

x-post from bitches

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?

I have no medical knowledge, but I feel it's better to be safe than sorry. I'd go get an EKG and such to make sure. Please keep us posted.

It could be no big deal, but I would certainly feel better if you went to Urgent Care.

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.

at historic deli, Canter's

The midpoint stop of my Tom Wait's tour.

miss Canter's. And Molly Malone's.

Molly Malone's is where Tom Waits and his new wife, Kathleen Brennan celebrated their wedding after they eloped in Watts.

Thanks for going along with the emergency call, Vortex.
