| UTIs
Let me just be blunt and obvious and say that UTI's are NOT fun.
This is the second one I've had in two years, but this was the first time I had to go to the hospital for it.
And this was the first time I got it due to having sex..
"WHAT?!"
I know, I know. The act of sex has turned against me.
I guess we're not the best of friends after all.
It's a well known fact that just about every woman will experience a UTI in their lifetime. With our unfortunate anatomy, it's just a breeding ground for bacteria to grow and such.
But anyway, let me just list out my symptoms in case someone stumbles upon this post with questionable pains.
1) In general, the symptoms are pain when urinating and a pretty foul odor along with it. Urine may also be a darker yellow.
2) UNfortunately for me, I had no prior symptoms, yet my UTI was seriously far gone. It didn't hit my kidneys yet, but it was close to it. Had I not gone to the hospital yesterday, it would've. Girls, I can imagine that getting dialysis isn't much of a party, so let's not ignore the pain and go to the hospital.
3) With that, the pain I felt was EXCRUCIATING. It just hit me out of nowhere two days ago, but it wasn't bad enough to take serious notice. I thought I had pulled a muscle wrestling with Marco. However, as soon as I noticed that the Tylenol, Motrin, and Salonpas patches weren't working, I knew it was something more.
A SERIOUS WARNING:
If you feel this too, and the medicine DOESN'T work, STOP
taking it. Most likely, your UTI developed from a lack of water, so
imagine how much your kidneys will dry up with all that extra
medication they have to filter out. You're supposed to drink at least
a glass full of water with every pill, so if you don't, your kidneys
are putting you on their shitlist.
4) I know "EXCRUCIATING" isn't very descriptive, so here it goes: It hurt when I inhaled deeply on the lower right side of my back, which my doctor said was my flank, not actually my back. Where the pain was felt was lower than my kidneys, and it felt like I was getting stabbed. STABBED.
5) Out of NOWHERE yesterday, it was unbearable to walk or even get up from sitting/laying down.
6) I thought that just because it was only one side that it wasn't a UTI or kidney infection since I assumed it would spread to both sides. WRONG-O. For some reason, this infection favored my right side. Good thing I went to get it checked.
I don't really know what else I could say about it. I got fancy bloodwork done and had to pee in a cup. Along with that, I got the sweet honors of getting that awesome cat scan and IV fluid. AND! To top off this goody bag, I'm now taking Ciprofloxacin, twice a day, for a week. It shall rid me of this unfortunate 'disease' and pain, yet my side still hurts right now as I'm typing this; just not as much.
SO, all in all, a lesson learned.
Drink more water, scrub clean EXTRA EXTRA hard and thoroughly after sex, and whatever else comes with it. Although it's WAY harder for guys to get UTIs, it IS possible. Marco's smart and drinks a Great Lakes worth of water everyday, which, even if he did catch the bacteria from me, would not allow the bacteria to stick to his urethra to breed..
Guess I gotta drink a -lot- more water.
Be safe, ladies.

| Meet Tobi.
The dog with facial expressions.
Side note: My phone is fixed and is up and running.
It's working as smoothly as the day it was opened from the box :]
<3 I love my Mr. Fix-It boyfriend.

| Text messages..Here. I. Come.
Hopefully, if all goes well.
My new screen came in today, and my electronic-handyman-of-a-boyfriend is going to come over to fix it on Monday if I don't work.
But anyway, the wait wasn't long at all, and I'm actually not dying as much as I thought I was going to. It's just really inconvenient not knowing who's calling, but being able to answer the call.
I don't remember if I mentioned this in the last post, but I CAN use my phone.
In fact, I'm talking to Marco right now.
I can make and take calls, and if I memorized the layout of my phone enough, I can do everything else!
..I just cant see what I'm doing.
But to end that rambling..
Well, actually, I guess that's all for now haha.

| The death of an LCD screen.So..
I broke mine today.
Holly's Short Story   :
As I was getting out of my car to go to work, I thought my phone was in my bag when it was actually on my lap.
Hence, I stood up and it fell.
Now, don't get me wrong, it's an amazing, durable phone, and I've dropped it from higher places before.
Many a-times.
However!, this was the first time it fell with the screen face down..
On pavement, even.
Annnd so, my lovely boyfriend referred me to an ebay item which happened to be the lcd screen just for my Dash and I'll be getting it in two weeks, more or less.
Two weeks without texting and knowing who's calling..
I should keep a daily log of my mood and such.
I may experience withdrawal symptoms, and I'm not even kidding.
Oh, the way we rely on electronics..
At least, the way I rely on them.

| It's funny how things just turn out.
But not in a "Haha" funny way, more like a "Holy shit!!!" kinda way.
For example, the sleepover.
It was really fun and I miss him already..
But the actual sleepover was originally for 1 night, when it turned into 2.
It was getting late and we were getting sleepy, so we agreed to turn it into 2 nights.
Well, not too long ago, it was time for him to get ready because he has work today at 5, so to avoid traffic he left just about half an hour ago.
AND HERE'S WHERE THE FUNNY COMES IN...
Worn out from the sex, we layed on my bed, cuddling and whatnot, when I go:
Me: Too bad you have to go to work today..
Marco: Yeah.. Don't you have work too?
Me: Uhhh...?
Marco: Because I think I remember the text you sent that said you had to work Wednesday and Friday.
Me: -Jumps up- OH MY GOD!!!! Where're my glasses?! And my purse?! -scavanges and finds schedule- OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I DO WORK TODAY!! ...FUCK!
So, to make a long story (although it's already kinda there) had Marco not stayed the extra night, I wouldnt have been reminded that I do, in fact, have work today and can not, in fact, babysit...
Hope the kids will be okay!
Seriously.
