Too much information

I am a relatively healthy person. I don't get sick very often. I rarely ever experience heartburn or constipation. I have no allergies, seasonal or otherwise. In general, I am very healthy. So I was completely flabbergasted today when it hurt to pee. I mean IT REALLY HURTS. It is a strange sensation. When I sit down to pee it doesn't hurt or burn, but when my bladder completely empties I feel a sharp shooting pain. Ouch! Oh, and I feel the urge to pee every 30 minutes. Fuckity, fuck, fuck!

After much googling, I have diagnosed myself with a urinary tract infection. I guess there is nothing I can do about it this weekend, but I will be making an appointment to see my doctor on Monday. I guess I'm going to get some use out of my health insurance after all.

Relieving stress

I've been feeling a little overwhelmed lately. I have been stressed and angry and sad. I desperately needed a distraction. So on Tuesday I headed to the craft store to gather supplies for a few projects. I have crocheted tops for 5 sets of hand towels, made Porgie a new hat, and I am in the middle of crocheting a cardigan sweater. Using all of my excess energy, I crocheted the hand towels and the hat in one day. But I needed something more. That is when I embarked on the adventure of making a sweater. I am fairly confident that I am not going to be able to finish this pattern. It is really hard. However, it has proven to be a great distraction. I haven't called my insurance company in two days! Woohoo!

Recital Sneak Preview

Porgie's ballet recital costume arrived yesterday. She was ecstatic. When I tried the costume on her, she begged to wear it during class. When I refused, she cried. Fortunately the teacher was able to distract her, and I hightailed it out of the studio. After class, she wanted to wear her costume again. I agreed to let her wear it for a few minutes. She pranced around the house, twirling and jumping. Before eating dinner, I asked her to take the costume off. My baby girl was devastated...Porgie eventually agreed to take it off, but she insisted on wearing it to ballet class next week. I told her I would think about it, but that was a lie. She can't wear it to class next week. She is going to be so disappointed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she forgets.
