I want to wish my regular visitors a very happy holiday season. Whether we've talked before or not, I really do appreciate your interest in my writings and would miss you guys (and maybe even worry about you) if you ever disappeared. May you reach all of your hopes, dreams, and goals for the upcoming year ahead!

Been burning up a storm down there and after he took a peek down there we’re thinking the antibiotics may have triggered a yeast infection. So, no more worrying that I wasted $10 on the Monistat kit I got a while back because I’m using it now and hoping that will finally get rid of it. We now think that the burning around the urethra and the flank pain I had were two different things. Yes, I had a kidney infection which was why I had flank pain but now I have a yeast infection. I’m wondering if I actually had it before the antibiotics because I’ve been burning in that particular area for a while now which is more consistent with yeast as opposed to menopause dryness which is further back.

It’s pretty ironic how I can go over 20 years with just two dental infections and now I can’t stop getting infections. I’ve had burning and discomfort down there for most of the year. Last March I think it started. Starting to wonder if it will ever end.

I’m also wondering if I only had energy earlier in the month due to the antibiotics. After snoring myself awake twice and waking up to pee as well as waking up burning, I woke up tired even though I got eight and a half hours of sleep. I got up and took my medication and then went back to bed for a couple of hours. I’m still a little tired but not quite as bad as yesterday.

I had planned to reorganize the bathrooms and hall closet but then decided to do it when we’re both getting up in the morning so we can go through the stuff together before I sort it and put it away in a way that’s better organized. I want to do the same thing with the stuff in the bedroom closet along with the kitchen drawers but not on the same day.
