@Ruthanne, the UTI has to be either a really bad bacteria or untreated for a pretty long time, but yes it can lead to sepsis, severe confusion and death if not treated. I had a friend who kept putting off treatment and ended up in the ICU. From what you’ve said, it doesn’t sound like it‘s out of control but take care and have it treated as soon as possible. ((Hugs))

Thanks for your feedback. I've had the UTI for 2 weeks and one of those days there was lots of blood in my urine the entire day. But come to think of it I've had decreased urine for longer than that. Feel like I have to go all the time. My Dr. should be getting back to me on Tuesday. @CinnamonSugar

Got many lab test results from Friday and it confirms a UTI. I haven't been feeling well at all and been resting mostly. I'm awaiting my doctor to send in a prescription for the UTI. I should have gotten the labs done before Friday but did not.

I read that an untreated UTI can spread and lead to sepsis which is life threatening. I sure don't want that. My doctor probably won't be back until Tuesday. I'm drinking plenty of water anyhow. Anyone who prays please say a prayer for me that this infection doesn't spread. Thank you.

I take AZO soft gels everyday to prevent bladder infections & it's helped me a lot. I love cranberry juice, but my stomach doesn't so I was glad when I found these. They have gummies & a tablet which I tried, but I didn't think they worked as well as the soft gels.

Vegetating in the recliner watching TV after finishing cleaning dishes, kitchen & putting away leftovers from a late lunch with a few family members. Tomorrow the leftovers will be put in smaller containers & frozen for quick dinners later.

I'm vegging out too and cooking dinner. I may freeze some too. I don't have any room in the refrigerator though. I really stocked up on food.
 
Saturday morning we got a massive snowstorm and lost tv, internet and half the power. I don’t have heat but do have a space heater. The entire building has partial power so must be on 2 different transformers.

I won’t be going anywhere until the parking lot is plowed. So my plans for yesterday and today didn’t happen. Glad that I have data on my phone and that all our power isn’t out or I would have had to have my best friend come rescue me and the little dogs.

Hollydolly, considering how your ex treated you I think you are being very kind.
 
Today was financial reconciliation day. I recorded the last dividends and capital gains that came in on my Divs-Caps spreadsheet. I also tallied the value of each investment and liquid asset on the spreadsheets I created. I do this quarterly and am always anxious to see how I fare at the end of each year. Now that I have these figures, I know how much more is due on my 2022 Zakat (obligatory charity). I complete a comprehensive form that establishes how much Zakat should be paid. Paying Zakat, which is donated to the poor, is one of the 5 pillars of Islam, so I take getting it right seriously. I also tallied up the rest of what my son owes for his charges on my (our) cards for this statement period. I calculated what cash back rewards he's due for the last quarter, then transferred that amount to his account.

This afternoon, we watched (well, I rewatched) two episodes of Reacher. I fell asleep during part of the second one. I also had phone conversations with my BFF and online BFF, did more napping and watched a little more of Criminal Minds. Since I finished the finale of the original, I'm watching the reboot and also starting to watch the seasons I missed. Of course I played WWF and am spending time on SF and FB.

Here is one of the pages of the Zakat form:

Overslept and woke with a headache. Ok now though and it looks nice outside; dry, bright, not too cold so have the windows open and even put some washing outside to air off. Planning to go for a walk later. I think the supermarket is open today so might pop in but, if not, no worries, we don't need anything. Have a good day everyone :)
 
Yanno that junk drawer, the one that everybody has? Yeah, that one. I only have a few drawers in my kitchen so instead I have a junk cabinet. Um. I just went looking for something and realized that there's stuff in there that's been there so long, I've forgotten what it's for.

So now I have something to put on the "I don't know what's on the agenda today" list. Laundry and clean out the junk cabinet. Those two things should keep me off the streets for a while!

Back in the sixties I can remember how the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 and the 1966 Aberfan disaster, where a school was engulfed in slurry from mining, resulting in the deaths of 144, of which, 116 were children.
Those events so depressed me that I gave up on the news. Never look at a newspaper, listen to it on the radio nor watch it on TV. The world knew about the death of our Queen long before I did.

I just found out about Aberfan a few years ago by watching "The Crown." The show did a good job of re-inacting the whole incident. Too good. Very upsetting.

My husband never watches the news either, I have to tell him about the big things, like 9-11. I even had to tell him when the Gulf War started. At the time he was as a senior NCO in the military. Thought he might want to know.

Today is Monday so I'm dusting and vacuuming. It occurred to me that I've been dusting weekly for 70 years. When do I get my gold watch?

You don't get a gold watch. If you expected it to stay dusted, you get meds because as we all know doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

Did you expect it to stay dusted?

Time to see your friendly, neighborhood physician and get meds. Then you'll be fine and will only dust when the spirit moves you, knowing that it'll have to be done again by and by.
 
I babysat the Littles last night and right now I am attempting to make Buzz Lightyear waffles with a mold.

They bear more resemblance to Muzz Nighmare than to Buzz Lightyear.

Why anyone would produce Buzz Lightyear pancake molds is beyond me, but the fool is soon parted from his money.......

Well, the pancakes are edible.
