Urgent care + frozen yogurt

-

This week, I decided I should get my toe checked out. It's not that it hurts so much, but it is completely numb. That doesn't seem like such a good sign, so I figured I'd get it checked out to make sure there's no permanent damage or I haven't made it worse somehow. 

See picture below: 


I wasn't sure if my primary doctor could take care of it or not, and it was hard to get in touch with someone to get any questions answered. So, Tuesday morning, I decided to make an appointment for the urgent care. I went in at noon, and it took longer than I expected. My blood pressure was very high, so they took it several times. That was nothing new, I've always had that issue, but chalked it up to anxiety. Then, I waited for the x-ray technician. After they took the scan, I waited for about 20 or so minutes for them to call my name to go over it. 

The doctor explained that I fractured it and showed me what it looks like, asked what I did. He told me he wants me to wear buddy tape and a boot for six weeks. I was supposed to have jury duty next week, but thankfully he was able to write me a note to get out for the time being. He also asked me about my blood pressure and whether anyone has ever talked to me about it before. It's been mentioned but not to the extent he addressed it. So, he wants me to start on blood pressure pills to help lower it...Because it was way too high for my age and having anxiety on top of that. So, maybe after all of this, the toe situation was the reason for getting me to a different doctor. Maybe that visit made all the difference.

Yesterday, I worked from home. Then, met Athena and Sarah for yogurt at Tutti Frutti, which I haven't had in the longest time. We mixed all the flavors and covered our yogurt in toppings of mochi, sprinkles and whatever else sounded good. We sat and talked for about an hour about Bridgerton, catching up on other shows, beauty and whatever else came to mind. It was so good to get away during the work day to catch up with my gal pals outside of the office. It was nice to have break with a sweet treat.


I'm so glad the week is almost over. Today is my Friday, so I'm off tomorrow and have the rest of the weekend - My mom's birthday, a beach trip and gearing up for the 4th of July holiday next week, although we probably won't do much. 

*sigh* 

That's all for now,

Fame and Fortune at The Greystone Mansion

I've always wanted to visit The Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. Yesterday, I finally had the chance to go with my parents. My main reason for wanting to see the grounds was that it was used as Chilton on "Gilmore girls." I knew nothing about the family that lived there or what it was all about, I just wanted to see for myself.  After hearing more about the establishment, it apparently belonged to the Doheny family. Those familiar with LA have probably been down Doheny Street a time or two. They were an oil tycoon family and very rich. The house is extremely elaborate with 31 rooms and stops along the self-guided tour, including alcoves, dining rooms, bedrooms, a library, theater and even a bowling alley. It was built in 1928.  According to their website:  Founded in 2001 and comprised solely of volunteers, the Friends of Greystone is a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise funds to restore, preserve and protect Doheny Greystone Estate, ...

“Everywhere You Look…” There’s Adventure in San Francisco

Over the long Memorial Day weekend, a couple friends and I decided to take a bus from Santa Monica to San Francisco. We spent the day soaking up the sun, as Sheryl Crow would recommend, as well as exploring spots we’d never ventured to before. First, we had to dip our toes in the water and sand; spending a few minutes at the beach. Then, we had to be tourists and walk the pier. There were  so.many.people . We stopped for lunch at The Albright and had clam chowder in bread bowls, which was one of the best bowls I’ve ever had. We mapped out the rest of our day, since we had plenty of time before the bus was set to arrive later that night. We took a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway and wound up in Long Beach for coffee. We were set on a bit of a wild goose chase trying to find it and died of laughter the entire ride to get there. We found the cutest coffee shop called Steelhead Coffee and took our time there for a midday pick-me-up. It was the perfect time of e...

Dinosaurs and Celebrities Take Over Los Angeles with Jurassic World Premiere

If you know me at all, you know I'm a big Chris Pratt fan. I almost kind of met him at Paley Fest a few years ago (JUST before the movie star pandemonium), but wasn't able to get a photo or autograph. With the release of Jurassic World 2 comes a premiere. So, yesterday afternoon, my friend and I went down to LA to see what we could of the movie's red carpet.  We arrived around 1:30, grabbed Subway for lunch, used the restroom, then secured our spot in line, where we would stand for the next five or so hours. We were surrounded by many collectors, who print out oodles and oodles of shots from movies and photo shoots and sell them on eBay. Most are not very nice and once the celebrities come out become even more pushy and rude. They will do whatever it takes to get that autograph, because this is their full-time job and how they make money. One was nice and gave us helpful hints about meeting Chris Pratt and how to be prepared if he came down the line. He also shared ot...
