Oh, wow, that's alarming!

Yeah, the doctor is hugely at fault for not questioning my dad further, since "Bextrim" isn't a thing. But then my dad didn't question why he was being given a drug he was allergic to. Passively accepting doctors' mistakes leads to a bleeding stomach or worse. Geez.

Tep, is your dad dyslexic? That sounds like a lot of the problems my niece has.

An hour of blackberry pruning appears to be my limit. I can live with that.

If he is, it's undiagnosed. My brother is, so he may have gotten it from Dad.

I should do yard work today, but I did a bunch last week (that's my excuse). Took the dog for a run this morning, which was much better than yesterday's (I think the pollen/air quality yesterday was a real problem).

Now I have mixed up a tart crust and I'm going to run over to see Dad, and pick up strawberries and cream: GBBO has inspired me to try to make a strawberry-cream tart for tonight. Wish me luck!

I got paid yesterday, so I immediately splurged on a brow tint and a new white blouse. Going gray doesn't just change your hair, it also makes your brows gray, and then your whole face fades away! So while there are a lot of things I don't do to perform my femininity, every three months or so I get my brows darkened. Definitely makes a difference.

Ooops, I have to share this because it's awesome: [link]

I did laundry and made a blue apron meal and made Rice Krispie treats yesterday. And then met up with friends and friends-of-friends and had dinner and multiple bar stops. Had a hell of a lot to drink, and ended up taking the youngun home. ...that was not expected. But fun. She lives in Portland, and is besties with my friend's gf, so may end up seeing her again at some point, though we didn't actually exchange numbers or anything. So random. And it is hot as hell today and even though I wasn't outside yesterday much, my arms and neck feel all sunburned?? Maybe that's in place of the hangover I surely ought to have but surprisingly don't? Everyone got together for breakfast and watching the women's national soccer game which got rain delayed. So the rest left, my friend is doing some work, and I'm catching up on outlander. Yay Sunday.

That is awesome, Consuela!

Went to a political fundraiser earlier with Elizabeth Warren, so that was cool. I couldn't bring myself to shove my way into actually meeting her, but still.

Clouds are boiling creepily. Glad I went swimming early, though the pool was hot-89. It was pretty miserable.

Went out for brunch and shopping for shorts for the DH (he's off to Malaga, Spain for a week to drive Volvos). Came home and watched comedy then went hog wild and smoked some weed that had been sitting around for a while. And by "smoked," I mean we each had about a hit and a half. After some delightful marital hoohah, I lay in bed in the dark and just listened to music for an hour. I felt like a teenager. Man, that new weed is STRONG.
