Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds... and Cipro in 2025

Had my virtual appointment with Rhonda. She confirmed my suspicions that I likely have a UTI. The reason I’ve been having a record amount—like three or four in the last year and a half—has to do with how the pH balance changes in older women. I can’t stress enough to younger folks just how much aging sucks. Never take youth for granted!
Anyway, I’ve been burning down there big time, like someone’s holding a lit match to my crotch, and I have to pee every other minute. The urge comes on suddenly and intensely. Since I can’t take Macrobid, she called in a prescription for Cipro. Gotta take it twice a day for 5 days. I guess it can be rough on the stomach if you’re not careful. She said to drink a full glass of water with it, make sure I eat, and don’t lie down until an hour after I’ve taken it.
I’m gonna wait till around midnight to take it because of where my schedule is currently. I got up a little after 11:00 AM, so I figured I’d start unwinding with my audiobook around 1:15, which means I’ll take it at about 12:15.
She said that if it doesn’t help, come in and see her and they’ll do more extensive testing of my urine as well as a vaginal swab. It better help! I think it will. I just have to make sure I keep up on the probiotics to hopefully ward off a yeast infection. I’m also going to have to make a daily glass of cranberry juice a regular thing as a preventative measure.
The new Elvis/Vegas-themed golf course came out and it’s nice. It’s got nice colors and I love the “diamonded” sky. There are a couple of tricky but really cool holes. One of them has a spinning vinyl record and you have to hit it across the thing at just the right speed. Another one, you kind of bounce off a giant guitar and it plays a chord when you hit it. The last hole was the coolest because you shoot the ball up a long strip of piano keys, which starts from low to high pitch as you go up. It’s buggy though, because the scoreboard didn’t appear in the end. I’m sure they’ll fix it. This happened with another course when it first came out.
Still doing the challenge. I’ve got about 10 more miles to go in Australia.
