Accounting school is pretty damn boring. I can't really imagine anything more boring than that, there is never any smidgen of human interest involved. Maybe sometimes you learn about a company that broke an accounting rule though! Gahhh! Shoot me!
Everyday after work, accounting work mind you, I have been coming home to do accounting HOME work. I know exactly why I went in to this, it was because it promises pretty ok money, fine hours, and independence which I like. There isn't much interacting with customers or people too much, which I also like. It was never meant to be interesting. I have to remember that. The fact is, I don't know what IS interesting, that is also a job. For me, nothing. Maybe I'd like to teach Middle Eastern history, some day, but for now that sounds kinda sucky. I mean, too many people involved. Students with problems....plus, public speaking? Ohhhh no. Accounting though. I can do that.
Then, I need to get a good job and not be poor! I can't even really imagine what it might be like not to be poor. For real, insurance would be great. I would like someday to not live with a bunch of people, its nice now but I can't be doing that when I am old! And fix up my gross old house! Maybe travel to Central Asia! Some fine day, yes.
Ok, this was a pep talk for myself. I need to now take "Intermediate Accounting" down to the coffee shop and work on that for the next 5 or so hours......deferred tax assets! taxable verses book income! bond interest amortization! lets do this!

Not so nice
Bladder infections or urinary tract infections are the scourge of both women and cats, from what I've googled. (By the way, its saying that is misspelled.....wha? The internet doesn't recognize itself...what is this, the year 2000?). Anyhoosie, I've got one. It came in like a lion....you wake up in the middle of the night and go to the bathroom...and you still feel that you have to go to the bathroom! You have some water and hope for the best, but when you wake up in the morning its RAGING! You've never had to go to the bathroom so badly, and not only does peeing not help but it feels like FIRE coming out of a place that fire never should be. Unless thats your thing. For me, It is NOT.
If its so bad like this, you should go to the doctor. Or, if you are also like me and have no insurance you could go to the community clinic or the Minute Clinic. It costs 69 bucks plus 20 for the medicine. You have to ask special for the pain-killing pills that turn your pee orange, which is just a little bit of fun that the pharmacy came up with to make you smile. Or, something like that.
If however, its not THAT bad, or you just want to prevent one here are some tips, and I'll try not to be so humiliating as to suggest as so many doctors do, that you wipe from front to back. WHO would wipe from back to front? Poop all up in your business? No one does that! Come on.
Useful tips are to drink cranberry juice, but only the unsweetened kind that costs like...8$ from the Co-op or natural food store. You can also get cranberry pills but I feel like they don't work quite as well. In combination though it seems better. Also you can't drink that juice straight, its more like 1 part out of 4 is juice, the rest is water. That shit is NASTY.
The reason cranberry juice works well is that there is a substance in it, D-Mannnose, which binds to the bacteria and prevents it from adhering to the urinary tract. And easier for your immune system to attack! ATTACK!
You can buy these pills straight. They are just called D-Mannose. They cost 22$ maybe.
Garlic, aka Russian Penicillin works wonders. It hurts my stomach but if I could handle it I'd be scarfing that stinky stuff down.
Drink tons of water, eat healthy food, stay home in bed, and do all the stuff you do when you are sick and want to boost the immune system...vitamin C. All that is good. Good luck!

If you can't stand the heat....
I hate the summer. As soon as that first spring day that I'm not too cold comes around...a darkness comes upon me. I remember what comes next, the heat. A three-month-long fever.
Luckily, I live in Minnesota and this too shall pass, soon enough actually. I just need to deal with it! Here are some tips. First of all, I don't have AC. I wont get in to the reasons, but lets just say that sleeping becomes like torture. Unless you can stay cool!
To do this you need 2 fans, one of them in the window, and one under the window pointing at your bed. Now, go in the bathroom and put your head under the cold water, AND maybe put your feet under the tap too. If you are flexible. Then go to bed quick while it dries and you feel cool. If you are lucky you'll fall sleep and stay asleep till morning. If not, just repeat the cold water thing.
Another alternative is sleeping outside but you need the right living situation for that....Bears might get ya!
