In Which All the Balls Fall Into Place


1. Medication needs to be ordered? HAH! I looked the prescription up on line to be sure it has no penicillin, and I find it’s the stuff I have in my dresser “To be taken after sex.” (I take it to prevent bladder infections. I still have a year’s worth. We are in a bit of a lull.) I still went ahead and bought the additional eight pills, to be sure I had the freshest antibiotics. If I get bladder infections from Gary just being nearby, imagine what a bladder scope will do to me.

2. Work deadline? HAH! I’m still on schedule. Maybe a smidgen ahead. Things fell into place today with work too. Baffling problems became clear. Long-hoped for files became available.

3. Haircut interferes with tomorrow morning’s meeting? HAH! I rescheduled and he had an opening tonight. I warned him when he asked why I was going to PT. “Don’t ask me that. I will tell you.” I think he will go home and warn his teenager: if she is doing Kegels to prepare herself for sex, that she should stop, because it can get stuck that way.

I need to remember today next time the balls are in the air. Just chill out and give reality a chance to come through.

  1. The more I hear about your medical treatment, the more upset I get. Taking antibiotics after sex every time? Won’t that just make your body immune to the antibiotics? I suppose that you are being really up front about not having sex, but really, these pills are not candy.

  2. Tami – Are they candy you can eat, say, every three months? I think we’d be on to a new generation of bugs by then. Hattie – Well, I did forget a pill this morning. And there is no food in the fridge except leftover frozen pizza. But I just need to make it through Friday and things calm right back down.
