I catch the sun
And by my power
I cast it on
Across the sky
The light to bring
To rouse the gods
To send the spring

this is potentially TMI but also *v useful information* so: did you know that (in the UK) if you start to feel you're getting a UTI on Saturday evening you can do an online form with eg Boots and be picking up your antibiotics by 10am on Sunday morning? and then start to feel better by 11am?
