CarbAbuser's Journal, 17 Sep 23

Got through Hurricane Lee yesterday. Wind gusts were recorded by us at 117km/h (that's 72.7mph). My German shepherd is no longer on high alert, in fact, I think this is the first sleep he's had in 36 hours.

Let me tell you this, having no power for over 12+ hours AND having a UTI is no flipping fun! We have generators (yes, several), but their priorities are sump pump, freezers, fridge, heat (in the winter) and water. But I still don't like consuming the power on toilets if we can avoid it. The less consumption, the longer they last. And trust me, after Hurricane Juan, you LEARN to conserve!!!

Thankfully I saw my doctor on Friday, and got on antibiotics BEFORE the weekend. The pain and urgency has lessened, but the need to have food with the pills, twice a day, is buggering me up. I only eat lunch (noon) and dinner (5pm). The pills *should* be taken at least 10 hours apart. UGH. So it's a bite of cheese, or handful of nuts in order to take these HORSE PILLS! But even with it only being a small bite, my body is setting off around 2-3pm, HEY I'm hungry! The [blank] you are, shut up and wait for dinner. OY!

Oh, the other thing you can't do during a hurricane? Use your powered treadmill! Nor can you walk a mall. And walk in our forest? I don't think so. So yesterday, my "exercise" was keeping an eye on the generators, making sure there were no leaks in the roof and tripping over 120lb dog all the while.

I'm expecting, due to the UTI, the concern over the hurricane, and other stress issues, this week's weight will be up. But that's not until Wednesday, so here's to the next few days.

Happy Sunday, FS family.
ps.. hi if you're still reading this, I'm sorry for being long winded, blame the hurricane ;)

You and your doggie made it! Glad you got to the doc before the weekend! So, did I understand you correctly, your toilets take electricity? 🤔

Being out on well and septic, the system requires electricity. So in order to fill the toilet tanks, it needs to pump up water from the well. Then the output is pumped out to the septic system. It's one of the major drawbacks of country living.

UTI - I had one recently too, and ended up on antibiotics, also. I've since done a little research. It turns out that the supplement D-Mannose works almost as well as the drugs. I've ordered some, so that I can take it at the first sign, next time around. I'm glad the hurricane didn't wipe you out. So sorry that these stresses happened simultaneously.
