This is being written the day after because last night kind of went to crap. My day was alright, just boring. I reheated the Spangles fries my sister got me but instead of going for the microwave or oven, I tried it in a pan with a little bit of oil. I burned a few of them but overall it worked out really well. I might have to try it again when the opportunity presents itself.

Around five o'clock I started to get the constant urge to pee feeling, regardless of any actual need. That is usually a good sign, meaning that a kidney stone is on the last part of the journey. It is also incredibly annoying. Especially if nothing comes of it. It is nearly impossible to sit still when it feels like you're about to pee your pants. It is also entirely impossible to fall asleep with that feeling. And it wouldn't go away. I spent my night fidgeting, dancing, pacing, jumping, bouncing, and rolling around. It was exhausting and never ending. And it didn't help that I didn't have dinner, only a few crackers around two o'clock in the morning. Around 4:00AM the feeling calmed down a little bit and I got maybe about two hours of sleep over the next four hours, in small increments, frequently interrupted by real bathroom breaks and occasional flair ups of discomfort. I was also dealing with my sore throat, a headache, and a mild fear of water intoxication after the amount of water I was consuming. Needless to say, I've had better nights.
