So because it’s clear that regular antibiotics aren’t really working for me any more, I just texted my hospice administrator to ask what else we can try. She says I’ll have to start taking Pyridium. A quick peek at the Mayo Clinic’s website tells me that Pyridium is prescribed to stop the burning caused by severe (and stubborn) kidney infections while a patient waits for antibiotics to clear up the other symptoms. This med also will cause my pee to turn red (Pyridium is actually a kind of dye), stain my underwear and maybe make me dizzy.
I can deal with “dizzy” and I never wear underwear* … I’m just sick of the PAIN. It feels like I’m trying pass molten lava!
*I’m housebound and bedridden. Why would I fuck around with underwear?
FRIDAY, 11/30/2018, 6:15 A.M. For your possible interest, I’ve given up on those no-rinse shampoo caps I’ve been using for the last 11 months. They make my hair look greasy and completely limp, and that’s because they contain a fucked-up conditioner. I’ve always hated conditioners on my hair! So I searched around on Amazon and found a no-rinse product — HomeCare Pro No-Rinse Cleansing Foam — that’s actually a foaming body wash for people who can’t get out of bed … plus, as an added bonus, you can also use it as a shampoo! And with zero conditioners! A picture of the aforementioned foam appears below. And yes, it comes as a set of three bottles. Delivery is promised for Sunday (without the daisies).

Before I forget … I’d like to share my list of the Top Ten Font Safety Guidelines. Please read carefully before using any fonts or loading new fonts into your computer. Trust me … you’ll thank me for this later.
- Fonts are provided for indoor use only.
- Install fonts carefully to avoid an allergic reaction.
- Do not attempt to open fonts. (They can explode.)
- Do not type words of a dangerous length.
- Avoid farm animals while kerning type.
- Do not feed fonts to children under the age of six or to elderly people.
- Wash fonts regularly in warm, soapy water. Drip-dry to avoid shrinkage.
- Do not operate heavy machinery while using fonts.
- If a font stops working, install a new operating system.
- Unlicensed fonts can break the Internet.
Yesterday there were three whammies filling the national news: 1) Michael Cohen’s additional guilty plea for lying to Congress about Trump Tower Moscow; 2) the raid on Deutsche Bank to get the records of Trump’s money laundering activities; and 3) the FBI raided Alderman Ed Burke’s office in Chicago. Burke is a powerful old-school “Chicago Democrat,” a notorious political thug (50 years so far as an alderman), who was also — surprise! — DONALD TRUMP’S ATTORNEY for 10 years! Holy crap.
Watching this breathtaking hoo-hah unfold is awfully damn fabulous and so much better than Watergate, because the Trump Crime Family, their slimy business associates, and Trump’s 2016 campaign big shots, will likely wind up in Federal prisons with longer-than-lifetime sentences for tax evasion, money laundering, conspiring with an adversarial foreign power, and so on. And in the case of Paul Manafort, who’s also been convicted of treason against the United States, maybe even the electric chair! (One can only hope.)
It’s 11 a.m. now and time for a morning nap. (Sam beat me to it. He’s already asleep on the sofa.) Thank you for reading this, and if you want to remember the Alamo there’s probably nothing I can do about it.
