Deferred from donating plasma today, have to wait 3 weeks after a Hep B vax and it's two dose so I won't be able to donate until mid October or so. But they gave me the Hello Kitty reward, which is pretty cute. And I can have some coffee now (I don't have it before to help with my pulse rate acceptability...)

Getting in a bathing suit to spend some dock time with my sister. Not sure how many warm days we will have left. Only 70 today, but sunny.

70 and sunny sounds delightful!

Atropa, here's hoping they were right and it was just an unusual migraine! Flights of obstacles should not hit when you're having a scary medical event.

Enjoy, Laura!

It was absolutely delightful. Hot sun, cool breeze, and calm lake. Tonight we have great nephew's first soccer match of the season. Then this weekend the annual Fire Department Steak Bake fundraiser. Big event with tons of raffle items, music, food, booze, and frivolity. End of season activities.

From Press, yes I see that Bridget has passed. I shared a seat with her on a bus ride to something at the SF F2F. This is very sad news. Too young.

I hate that being honest about, like, my disabled life or what's really wrong with the safety net(Social workers aren't protective the way people imagine, in my experience, at least) make abled women strangers bust out the sad emojis. (I mean. I guess it is sort of sad, some people really do need that sort of protection and support, and they don't get it either, but for me, it's like "Wow, let's get a time machine and warn President Gore that sometimes these people are just neurotic, paper-pushing pinheads." It's hard enough to face these things yourself without having to cope with the end of their "America leaves nobody behind," illusions, too. (Not that I posted the pinhead assessment on an acquaintance's page, or anything. And I am sorry that the person handling my file is, well, not someone I'd call with any other option, ever. But it doesn't help to have a stranger feel sad about it.)

Oh, that's very sad about Bridget. I saw her fairly often over the years as she would come in to SF from Sacramento. Though I don't know that I've seen her since the pandemic.

When I worked downtown we'd have lunch when she came into The City.

That's so young to die by a stroke.

I've barely seen her in person, just at the F2F I think, and I don't think I even posted with her much here, somehow, but we got to be pretty friendly on FB. Shocked and sad.
