Any Duranies in here?

When MTV went on the air, my sister and I would wait till a Duran Duran video played then get as close to the TV as possible. I was convinced if Simon LeBon ever met me we would fall in love and get married.

I have been going to their concerts for years and they are still great, though slowing down a bit.

I noticed in the past few years there have been a lot of younger people there. Its kinda cool. Sometimes the kids will be like, "omg! You know all the words to all the songs."

Do you all still go to their concerts?

UTIs and Menopause

I was yesterday years old when I found out how different a UTI is when you have reached menopause.

I have been exhausted for the past few days then suddenly yesterday morning I woke up to blood in my urine. That was a huge flashing neon sign to get in to see my Dr. And yup she confirmed, uti.

LI haven't had a UTI in 20+ years but I remember what it's like and I had none of the symptoms, no burning, no lower back pain, no having the urge to pee every 10 seconds. Instead, I was tired and a bit fog brained.

Last night my entire body ached, my head was pounding and I had chills so violent I couldn't make a whole sentence. And as my doctor said no baths anymore, I had to stand in the shower under super hot water to make the chills go away.

I'm pretty sure it's time to get one of those old people shower chairs now.

Aging is so fun and full of new and exciting adventures. Thanks for listening to me whine. 😆
