Sometimes she just sleeps. It's her favorite time of the day, I'm sure of it.
And this is my jug o' pee. Seriously.
I've been to another doctor to figure out some of my mystery fatigue illness and weight loss difficulty and such. She changed some of my medications and ordered some new tests. On eof them was a 24 hour urine collection for some special pee test they do at a lab. The doctor's office said to keep the urine container in my refrigerator. Oh, hell no! Of course, the nurse gave me very specific directions about how to complete the urine test.
Start it at this time, dump this urine, keep that one, etc, etc. DON'T PEE DIRECTLY INTO THE ORANGE CONTAINER!!!
Check.
NO, SERIOUSLY, DON'T PEE DIRECTLY INTO THE ORANGE CONTAINER!
Okay, I get it.
IT HAS ACID IN IT! YOU'LL BURN EVERYTHING IT SPLASHES ON!!!
OKAY!!! I WON'T PEE DIRECTLY INTO THE ORANGE CONTAINER!!!
Needless to say, I bought a special cup that now lives in the dumpster. The orange pee container went to the lab this morning, and during the collection time it lived in a styrofoam cooler full of ice that now lives in the dumpster. Sorry Mother Earth, I just couldn't put that in my fridge with my food. I'm sure you understand.

in case you didn't catch that... don't pee in the orange container!
Ummmm, right-we all love to have pee in our fridges Nurse Nancy-NOT!!!! Oz is such a cute kitty and so wonderful to supervise your urine collection procedures-remember, Don't Pee in the Orange Container! I hope these people come back with good news for you(especially after all that peeing!)
When I came to stay with you after your surgery Ozzie would sit there when I took Pooh to the woods in the morning, cause she could keep him in her sites at all times. Such a funny girl...
I like the use of cute kitty to distract from the pee jug. My daughter had to do the 24 hour thing a few months ago. They gave her a "hat" to put on the toilet seat to collect said pee. She was not told to put the collection it in the fridge however. Maybe that's why she had to come home from her vacation in England two days early and do the test over again. Good news, the test was negative for any odd conditions. I will be sending good karma your way that everything turns out well for you.
