Thought it was time to start another day!
Did not sleep at all last night. Guess this is to make up for the days I couldnt stay awake! It all balances out.
Got some Cipro yesterday and he is trying to culture my urine to make sure we knock all the bugs out of my bladder for sure. The last culture mess up somehow. Have had 4 UTIs since August.
The car bill is $1,500. And a few cents. Never had to put much money onto that car- 2000 Impala. But 150,000 miles does take its toll. Sigh. So many other things I could do with that money.
So, off to work I go!

Leg was bad in school today, but the rest of me seems to be okay.
MT, for a car that old, that's not that bad, but it sucks when it all comes at once... What, probably struts and timing belt and maybe some CV joints or something, I'm guessing. MM, good to have ya back... tell us what's up...
I will continue the accelerated workout tomorrow, see how it goes... I am glad my leg is responding to exercise, anyway. For a while there, both exercise and sitting down felt bad. My hands and feet feel quite cold sometimes... uh, Raynaud's like autoimmune issues, I suppose. A bit uncomfortable, but I can deal.
Hang in, all,
