My doctor thinks I have a bladder infection. I'm trying to drink some cranberry juice. This is disgusting. I can see why this stuff is usually sweetened.
Try cutting it by at least half with water. I rather enjoy it cut by half with diet 7UP, but understand if you are trying to avoid artificial sweeteners. How do you feel about water with a splash of lemon juice? Could you try drinking water with a splash of cranberry juice several times throughout the day? Ages ago when I was having kidney infections, my doc told me that 4 oz of pure cranberry juice per day was enough to make a difference. He never said it had to be all at once. So if you could handle a glass of 7 oz of water with 1 oz of cranberry juice four times a day, you'd be doing yourself some good, and maybe it would not be as unpalatable. Regardless, I hope you can get some relief soon, and they figure out what meds are best for this one.
Break a leg, Fay.
I'm guessing you're not an immortal sword-wielding dude. Although I've been wrong before.
It would be really cool if there were Immortal Buffistae. Think about it - people using the BRQG to cheer themselves up for ages to come. I don't think it would change anything in the short run though.
Andi, yahoo! on the taxes. We will not be so lucky, dammit.
Do both askye and Perkins begin new jobs today? I think so. . . Congratulations you two craxies! May your new employment be low-drama, high-pay.
Today = huge ball of suck for my boss.
The company that was supposed to deliver his excavator to ta job site for a press conference this morning failed to do so. Now, Boss could lose the $650k contract. He's fuh-reek-ing out. I'ma be over here, entering my invoices like a good girl.
I DO! Thanks!
Good Luck Askye, if you do as well.
Oh, Aimee. That is of the suck.
Good luck Perkins and askye!
So, I found out this morning that it helps to actually put the coffee grinds *in* the coffee maker if you want to make coffee, not hot water.
finally reinstalled Quicken. Damn. It appears in the HD crash of 2008 (yes, it's momentous, so give it heavy sounding name), it appears my quicken file of YEARS, like 10 years, corrupt. Gone. Bye bye. Uggg.
Learn from my mistake, please Please PLEASE make back ups!
Feeling o_a's pain. Every day brings a new case of "Oh, I have a great handout for you on that topic of great interest. Um. No.
Wait. That's all been gobbled up. Uh. Can I offer you a wan smile instead?"
Also, a bills paid document of at least 5 years. Gone. gone. gone.
Nothing life threatending, but oh, so inconvenient.
On the other hand, I'm cuddled up in my bed, with my trusty fur-sidekick, typing away on a laptop given to me by an angel...actually WORKING and avoiding being out in in the 20 degree weather.
Okay, I take back all my complaining. I win for comfort.
On the cranberry issue, Louise Gittelman recommends putting 4 oz of cranberry concentrate in 64 oz of water and drinking it all day. It really works for me when I remember to do it. I haven't had a UTI in ages. (touches wood)

Hard to make coffee before drinking coffee. It's inevitable.

It probably didn't help that I was on the phone with the accountant at my new job (who had woken me up...she felt so badly...I was like, "Hello! It's after 9am! I should be up!). So, it wasn't getting all of my focus, which apparently, it needed.
Totally unrelated...
How long do we think it will take for a coat of Crayola's kids washable paint to dry on papier mached puppets? I was going to paint a coat of white paint on them so they were ready for the kids to work on. But now I'm thinking that I'll just have them do it, play a game or two with them for a bit, then let them go do the decoration painting. Too much for 2.5 hours?
