*Warning TMI*

Saw a post today:

When you go through something difficult, instead of asking "why is this happening to me", trying asking yourself "what is this trying to teach me?"

I would say that, 90% of the time, I try to think this way. Or maybe, instead of the latter, I may think "what can I learn from this?" or "is there a humorous side to this situation?".
Unfortunately, there are many situations that are simply bad luck or unfortunate, and sometimes there isn't all that much to learn from it, but if you try to find humour in it, that is easy.
Like me today - I am 99% positive I have a urinary tract infection.
Sometimes I get inflammation and swelling in my bladder, but after my anti-swelling meds and a day and a half from the first sign, the pain is much worse. To the point where I had to do my injection in the washroom. I had to eat in the washroom. Yep. And I'm dancing around like a little girl who has to pee but who is stubbornly deciding not to. Except it's not because I'm not wanting to... it's because I feel like I need to when I don't.

I warned you it would be tmi.

So once my Pyridium kicks in and I can actually walk, we are off to Urgent Care to get tested and hopefully get some antibiotics.

So what is this trying to teach me?

I have no clue.

Is there a humorous side to this?

Absolutely! Focus on that. Focus on the ridiculousness of the situation as though I were watching this unfold on a sitcom.
