Trade-in

We do it to our cars and right about now I'd like to do it to my body. I am so tired of always having something wrong with me. I don't want to take anymore drugs or have to worry about Cranberry juice and pills, Vitamin B, water, cotton underwear and hypo-allergenic lotions just to mention a few. I'd like to be normal for just once. Of course, at 4:30 this morning my body had other plans. Apparently my latest UTI did not go away as I had hoped. Sigh. I was so excited Monday, because it was the first day in about two months that I wasn't on some prescription med. It looked like I was finally out of the woods. I should have known better. I know that in the grand scheme of life these aren't really big deal problems. They are annoying at best and painfully uncomfortable at worst. What has me down today is that my entire life has been one doctor visit and prescription after another for a whole host of ailments. The older I get, the less patient I am with this stuff. I don't want to take antibiotics anymore. I've always hated taking them due to the resistance factor: the more often I take them, the less effective they are in small doses. I wonder if this is what has happened to me with my recent issue. I can't imagine using drugs recreationally. I don't even want to take them when I need them! Maybe the drugs weren't strong enough to knock it out completely. So, here I am three weeks later feeling worse than I did before. It doesn't make sense: I have been doing everything I'm supposed to do, and I have been eating healthier than any other time in my life. I've always said that my body has a mind of it's own! Plus, the bank is irritated with me because I called out. As if I'd be getting a whole lot of work done between running back and forth to the bathroom. Of course, they don't see it that way. It's not like I'm getting paid to stay home. Oh, well. There are people there who would come in to work during a heart-attack if they could. Bank martyrs- what a worthy cause.

I know that this is just a whine fest, so thanks for indulging me. Maybe I'll get all the physical problems out of my system now so that when I'm old I've used them all up. I do think I'm going to have arthritis in my knees, though. If that's it, it won't be so bad.
