crap timing

[anotheranon]

Am fighting off a possible kidney infection. As of now only feeling like heck and am medicated/resting but I know the hell to which it can escalate, so I'm angrily staying home from work.

Angry because I need to be busy this time of year, angry because I want to fence my last lesson of the year tomorrow and must be able to fly comfortably on Friday. D. has been an angel, getting me every formulation of cranberry juice under the (weak, cold, winter) sun and Spice has been sympathetic enough to let me have repeated pets. C'mon Cipro, come on...

Not all is lost - I've had the chance to read (Changeless, On Monsters), and was even inspired to pick back up the Regency gown after watching the Lord of the Ring costume design extras. I may not want to costume for money, but I wish I had Ngila Dickson's resources (her own dye house!!) I was further along than I remembered and will likely finish the dress soon after the new year.

It says something about my low opinion of cranberry juice that a cup o' PB actually sounds more appealing :P I'll have to make sure it won't interfere with the antibiotic though.

Seriously, I'm starting to hate cranberry juice. Leaves a cloying, sweet aftertaste for hours :(

Did I write a cup! I meant a _capful_. OMG,not a cup! I meant one of those little plastic mini-cap things that come with PB. Eeek!

I hated cranberry juice, too. It has so much sugar that I found that when I got an UTI, I would also gain weight from all the empty calories.
