We have four houses lines up to look at on Saturday - or maybe four, we're going to decide after we find out how far from the first three that last one is. I'm so excited! These are mostly places with character, although one looks just 'nice' and next to water. The agent wanted to try to convince us to look at more places, but I demurred on the phone this evening without putting it into words exactly why, because I couldn't think just how to state it. After I hung up with her Eor and I discussed it, though, and he put it quite succinctly - if it was built after WWII or is in a subdivision we're probably not interested.

I think I need some food, a bathrobe to keep me a little warmer, and maybe to go be in bed with my honey (he's playing video games on his laptop because he's not feeling well). I think I have yet another bladder infection. :P After breakfast with Pheobe, tomorrow, I guess I'll drop in at the dr's office and get some antibiotics. This is really too soon after the last one! I don't like taking antibiotics. I suppose I should try to give it a day and do cranberry juice, but it never seems to work, and I'm a baby about the pain. What would you do?

Cranberry tablets daily help keep them at bay (before getting one). Peeing after sex helps keep you from getting them too. And sometimes yeast allergies can set them off (which I learned from my boss today which was... odd), so maybe check on that?

Yeast allergies? Damn, my Mom is allergic to yeast. I thought I'd ducked that bullet but maybe not. :P

if you'll pardon the expression, I don't pussyfoot around with bladder infections, and I used to get them a lot - the one I had that turned to a kidney infection was the worst pain I've ever dealt with, so I just don't risk it.

granted, this could literally be the drugs talking, since I'm currently on antibiotics after a flare-up of my tonsils this weekend - they put me on Augmentin again which is amoxicillin plus something to "enhance" it and lo & behold, my tonsils are no longer touching! wheeee! (I do not have 10 weeks to take off work for a tonsillectomy, why can't I live in the future where they have come up with a better way to do this surgery?)

that's exciting about the houses - good luck!!

Yeah, I'll go today. My stomach was hurting by the end of the day, yesterday, because of the pain making me tense up all over, and I was pretty miserable and distracted, which is NOT good at work. And not desirable when I'm going to be in the car quite a bit on Saturday.

10 weeks seems like a ridiculous amount of time to need for recovery, though! Are you sure that's necessary? For kids it's like a week - or at least that's what Eor seems to remember - and yeah it's harder when you're older, but it doesn't seem as though it should necessarily be ten times harder.

House hunting sounds so amazing...so grown up! I wanna play. How happy and full of hope and vither you must be! Vither...a word I picked up somewhere and am trying it here, with you. Please note the strategic use of comma.

I am sorry about the cranberry addiction you have been having. I must agree with a blogger that has come before me; kidney infections are THE worst! And where a UTI is horrible and gives you awful cramps and it hurts to pee; a kidney infection prevents you from being able to pee at all! No one should have to see their partner (me in this case) crying on the toilet. I suggest you call in sick :) Of course we can still eat breakfast though, right?! hehehe

see you soon,
call me if you change your mind about bfast...ok?
