Your Day

Chiomara · 04-01-2017, 08:13 AM

My ten-year-old laptop likes to devise new ways to irritate me each day-- today, it decided it likes to shut down any time the power cord shifts around in its socket (the battery is dead, so it has to remain plugged in). So it is now held into place by electrical tape.

The tl:dr version to come tomorrow. Bet you can't wait.

(was seriously scared ****less as the spell was going down - as were my boss, his wife, and our lead lawyer)

Oh no! Strokes are terrifying. Don't die please!

Is your mouth droopy?

That's it, Chula.
No Trump thread for you for at least a month.

Had been up in downtown of Irvine, CA for 2 full days of depositions and the 4 of us went out to grab dinner. We're sitting outside chowing down and the next thing I know it's all black and I'm slowly lifting my head and coming to in a total haze not knowing at all where the hell I am, what I'm doing, or why I'm here. I remember slowly turning my head side to side and trying to absorb the surroundings (we're in the middle of downtown surrounded by tall office buildings) and it simply wasn't registering.

I look down and Jeff, Yvette, and Bob are staring at me with these WHAT THE **** looks on their faces and asking me what's wrong and if I'm allright. I start asking questions where am I, why am I here, when did I get here, etc.

Very slowly things came back into focus and the cobwebs went away. Jeff, (my boss) asked me to stick out my tongue to see if it was drooping to one side or the other - it wasn't. I'll never forget the look on our lawyers face as he kept an eye on me for the next 15 minutes or so - like he was ready to pull out his phone and dial 911 while administering CPR at the same time if I was to keel over.

Have felt fine ever since but will definitely follow up with my doc. Easily one of the most surreal experiences in my 56+ years.

UPDATE: For my homey peeps.

Jeff not only had me stick out my tongue but also had me touch my nose with both hands. My face never drooped, and my speech never slurred.

So it wasn't a Transient Ischemic Attack.

More likely it was a syncope based on the built up stress of the situation.

Carry on.

Are you still going to see a doc Monday or was that their diagnosis based off of a ER visit?

I'll be adding a couple of new things daily, including some vintage stuff.

I must say, you look super foxy in that ivory midi dress, Chio!

Christ man! Sorry to hear that! Hope all is ok. Make sure you talk to the doc without delay, you can never be too careful. Lucky escape maybe.

Thanks! c: I like the dress, (despite it being tea stained) but it is too small for me now. Alas.

(Not that anyone cares, but I added more things--so again, please link it on facebook or wherever, those of you who are acquainted with any women who shop online and are roughly my size)

So i can't remember if any of you live near Austin, Texas or not but if you do and you want to meet up, I'm seeing Donnie Darko at one of the Alamo Drafthouses tonight and would be cool to chill with somebody. I cant remember if any of you guys are Texan.

Also, sorry i havnt been around. Travelling can be detrimental to music forum mod participation.
