The worst part of colonoscopy prep turned out to be the sheer number of trips to the bathroom, which knotted up my legs something fierce. The second worst part was the taste of the solution, even with added flavorings. It was salty! (I got the huge jug rather than the Miralax version. Miralax at least isn't salty.) Next time, probably either green unsweetened Kool-Aid or lemonade Crystal Lite or whatever.

Off topic for FFA )

I did make the planned gallon of orange jello, but since it was a little late for me to actually eat it, I put mandarin orange slices in it. Since that's often part of Belovedest's lunch. Today I packed it into smaller boxes to help with that effort and to decrease the crowding in the fridge.

I got a slight nap after everything was about finished. The split prep schedule meant that I started the second half around 12:30 am. Appointment check in time 6 am.

The distance in the facility wasn't super bad, although we brought my chair just in case. (Speaking of the chair, I have decked it out with retroreflective tape and electroluminescent wire. It looks much safer. The cup holder went on Friday.)

The procedure wasn't bad. )

I got dressed again. I had picked a cute nightgown for the outing, black with flowers and butterflies. Instead of a coat (it's getting chilly at night) I wore my dramatic black velvet robe, the one with lace trim and bell sleeves. I received a compliment. And as soon as I proved I could stand up without excessive wobbling, we were off.

Belovedest gathered breakfast for me on our way home, and I took a much needed nap (interrupted a few times to confirm that I could be made conscious and accept hydration).

And that was that.

We did our usual Friday shopping on Saturday. I was still sore. Today my legs are thankfully feeling normal.

I know it may seem I've dropped off the face of the earth, but I really haven't. Besides dealing with some health issues (I'm doing fine) the past 2-3 years, I've also been kinda busy with rewriting my novel. Especially this past NaNo and earlier this year. Well, it paid off!

I'm am officially a published author! Or I will be this Friday! Friday Sept 19th, my book, Rare Vintage will be available to buy!! You'll be able to buy the E-Book or paperback from Amazon, or the Ebook directly from Desert Palm Press.


small book cover

Jessica Morgan is a gifted profiler. Some might even use the term legendary when speaking of her skills. So much so that the FBI Director takes it upon himself to call her back into service years after a personal tragedy caused her to walk away from the Bureau. Returning with her profiling skills intact and a medical degree, Agent Morgan's task is to assess the investigation she's assigned, profile the UNSUB (unknown subject), and deliver the profile to the investigating agents before moving on to the next case. She works tirelessly, relentlessly, and most importantly...alone.

Until now.

The Director pairs Jessica with Dr. Erin Little, a skilled forensic pathologist and an outstanding FBI agent. Erin has earned a favorable reputation during her ten years at the Bureau. Erin's task force, assigned to find a serial killer dubbed The Slasher by the newspapers, continues to hit dead ends, prompting the Director to ignore Jessica's rule of working alone. He puts them together, knowing their combined skills are needed to catch The Slasher and bring him to justice. As sparks fly professionally and personally, Jessica and Erin race against time to stop the serial killer before he strikes again.

I'm not looking forward to this.

On the other hand, I wasn't thinking with some of the usual parts of my sense of humor when I was picking out my non-red jello for Liquid Diet Day (24 oz food service pack) and rolled the wrong citrus out of three: orange.

I could have had lemon jelly.

Goodbye to bad rubbish BJ, who could make simple things like Madonna being active in the music industry longer than most people of our generation being aware of, plus she didn't look in her early 40s at the time, into some kind of sinister conspiracy theory situation.

You were an absolute jackass, and I honestly don't care if you're alive or not except that I might need to avoid you.

Thanks to Votania and Darkside, who helped me realize what a bad friend BJ was, never mind as a prospective life partner and spouse. Bleck.

This random thought brought to me by the death of Charles Entertainment Kirk, which would probably have been making BJ's circles flail in panic, and hearing a Madonna song on the Doof. (A back episode, we didn't have a SunDoof that I'm aware of.)
