Sorry for the silence…I got a bladder infection last week, so I am behind in everything. If you’re lucky enough to have never had one, let me just say: they’re hellllllll. I don’t know how my mother and sister deal with it, because there were moments I wanted to hack my bladder out with a rusty knife. They have a disease called Interstitial Cystitis, which is basically like a permanent bladder infection. (Yeah, fun). There’s no cure. All you can do is watch your diet and take this drug called Elmiron. My sister has the “light” case and only has to take Elmiron once a month or so, but our mom has a severe case and has to take a truckload of drugs every day.

It occurred to me I never did my “why I hate Orange County” post. I figure the photos below are worth the proverbial 1000 words. Sorry about the bad quality of some of them…most were taken before I had a digital camera, and the crowded Newport one was from the newspaper. But I think you get the idea.
