water tasting/ smelling funky

i know this happens from time to time here but was wondering if anyone else has noticed an increase of funky tasting/ smelling tap water lately. kind of like a mildewy/ moldy taste. i've noticed it in central austin, and in south austin in various settings.

If there’s anyone qualified to deal with something like this (I’m not) this little fella was spotted at Amy’s on burnet. It seemed like he wanted the help but I didn’t know how to help him. Looks like some sort of needle catheter. Reminds me of the kind of needled used for a needle chest decompression or something.

Best spa that has: assorted massages/facials, saunas, plunge pools, hot tub/spa, pool, louge rooms to relax and read, nice showers and changing facilities. Food and drinks too a plus. Does this exist in this town?

Thoughts on Ottine out in Gonzalez for a day trip? I thought Viva was going to be a bit more than it offers.

It did this 4 or 5 times before I started filming.

We were quickly evacuated during a soccer game at the onion creek soccer complex around 6 pm.. cops everywhere and they went onto the soccer field to block an area near the woods. Anyone know what happened. I hope everyone is ok.

Dog seen downtown/zilker ish area

A small-medium dog spotted around 5:15 pm near webber field. We tried to catch up to little buddy but he was zooming and seemed scared. Maybe a golden/sheltie/some kind of mix? Wasn't super clear, had a bandana/collar, it was pink.

If someone does run into the puppy pls check collar for contact info. Worried the puppy will run into traffic again.

Construction everywhere. Always congested. Traffic lights are timed terribly. So exhausting.

firstly, if anyone knows who i can call to (non-creepily) find out the station the EMS that aided me are in so i can send a card or a dozen donuts, please let me know.

yesterday i experienced hypotension for the first time in my life. i had this sense of impending doom and thought i was going to die. my heart felt like it was about to give out and i was struggled to stand. i’m honestly still not sure what fully has caused it as i’ve been battling a couple health issues and the ER i went to was not great and pretty much left me in the dark and almost forgot to give me more fluids, but that’s a separate story.

regardless, the EMS crew that saw me last night were the sweetest i have ever met in my life. when i was shaking and thought i was going to pass out, i oddly felt comforted knowing that if anything worse were to come, they were the ones helping me. i’ve come across a lot of EMS/EMT folk as an ill person with several ER visits between this year and last, or the time i was in a major car accident. none have ever made me feel this level of comfort while also walking me through the process of everything they were doing. that means the world to me.

my veins were not pulling because of how low my blood pressure was (74/50 the first reading), they had to poke me more than five times and i still felt really comfortable and reassured by them despite that. it made me cry.

so yeah, just want to shout out the austin-travis county EMS crew. it was two lovely women and one very kind man. i hope i can find a way to extend the gratitude. and if anyone here finds themselves in a situation like mine, i hope you get an amazing crew like i did during a very scary time.

I accidentally grabbed someone’s shirt off the ground outside the photo booth! We were in line right in front of you and Phoebe went on right as we got out. In the mad dash to our seats, I grabbed your shirt thinking it was mine. I would love to return it! If this was you, reach out and give me some more details about our convo so I can confirm and get the shirt to you. Also I’m sorry and I hope you loved the show

I think the sudden weather change caused me to get super fatigued today… like unusually tired… anyone else?

Authorities have accused the former band director at LBJ Early College High School of having a sexual relationship with a student who investigators say had already been sexually abused by another school employee. 

Has anyone ever gone inpatient locally? I’m open to IOP non locally. I can’t continue like this and I can’t sleep and I can’t turn my OCD brain off.

I can’t see my psych until later this week and my old/current meds are no longer working and neither did the new ones I tried.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good geriatrician? Austin Geriatrics Specialists keeps popping up, but it seems like they only go to nursing homes. Would prefer to avoid ARC.
If they were located north or northwest, that would be ideal.

you should have invited him to the movie too!

But really, you're cool as hell.

good morning. feel it. do you feeeeel it!!!!?

Robert was a regular sighting in DT and on S. Congress back in the day. A pleasant chap, miss having him around.
