THIS ISN'T FUN

 Good morning, OR should I say night?

It's 2.30 am and I'm sitting in the lounge wishing I felt well.

But I don't.  I've got terrible reflux.  Cos I ate too much last night.  Well, it's still 'last night' right now.

So, I am sitting upright, trying not to vomit.  I feel terrible.  Serve me right.

AND, even worse, I think the UTI is coming back!

If it is, I'm off to the Doctor first thing in the morning, once the Dr's opens again.

Meh... over bitching.

I'm gunna finish the last two Cat Runners today.

ABOVE: Then I am going to get back to that Fish Runner I started a couple of weeks ago.

That might get finished by Saturday, if I'm lucky.  But maybe not, as it's the first one of that style.   It will take more time to suss out how to do the fish effectively. 

So, that's me day sorted.  Well, all going well it is.  Maybe I'll be at the Doctors instead?

I think Stew is going back to work ... as there really is no danger in Hamilton from the storm that was going through on Monday/Tuesday.

10.18 am. Been to the Dr. I went to one in town where you can see the Dr and not pay Urgent fees ($80!). In fact I only had to pay $19.50 which is amazing. AND I only had to wait 45 minutes. I'm now on a new antibiotic for 10 days..  hopefully that works. 

I got next to no sleep so when I get home I'm gunna have a nap.

At the chemist waiting for my prescription now. Will be half an hour, hence I have time to blog. 🤣😊

11.15 am:  Home.  And so happy I remembered that the Tui Medical in town takes 'walk ins' and doesn't charge for Urgent treatment!  AND they gave me a repeat on ALL my medications and sent the prescription to The Chemist Warehouse, where all prescriptions are FREE.

Today I spent $19.50 to see the Dr and get my pills.

I SAVED $95 !  That is HUGE.

The only, and I say it lightly, the only drawback of going to Tui in town is they are only open Mon - Fri, 9-12 and 1-4.  But hey, I'd rather go there than the usual place if I can.

As for my reflux. I only get it if I overeat at dinnertime, or have something like ice cream and chocolate sauce before bed.

So simple solution... DON'T OVEREAT in the evening.

I've not had reflux in MONTHS... so might just behave myself in future.  Even Stew regretted having the ice cream.

I just had a fruit smoothie using Greek Yogurt.  Having yogurt should help me avoid getting any other problems associated with taking antibiotics for over 2 weeks... like Thrush.  OMG the last thing I want next is bloody thrush.

And now my peeps, I'm going to lie down and try to take a nap.  I am so damn tired!

4.15 pm:  Oh my, that nap was just the ticket.   I woke up feeling quite a bit better.  Well not in the piddle department, but certainly not as tired.

Straight into the sewing room I went, and I got the last two Cat Runners finished.

Then I did a big clean up in the sewing room, which I tend to do after a big 'run' of projects.

Now I am going to have a look at the  Fish Runner.  Sort out fabrics to use, cos looking at the above photo shows me there's too much of the same colours for the fish. 

End of day:  Just took my 1st new antibiotic.  9 to go over 9 days.

Feeling exhausted, UTI's sure take it outta you.

Let's hope tomorrow is a better day.
