30 Hours

This morning starts the colonoscopy 30-hours-until-it's-over countdown.  Prep day is here.  Procedure is scheduled for 11 o'clock tomorrow.

I needed a day when hubby was home and off work (he's had these vacation days planned all year).  Tomorrow was the day that worked and the only time available was later in the morning.

Nothing begins until this afternoon.  I need to remember to not eat anything (!!)

What am I doing on a clear liquid day?  Prepping food for hubby's birthday weekend, of course.  Cooking bacon for freezing and making a new recipe for chocolate chip cookies that has to sit in the refrigerator for 7 days before baking.  More on that next week if they turn out okay.

Once prep begins, MY time begins.  Feet up, book in hand and bathroom close.  Taking care of ONLY myself.

Man, I'm glad to get this over.  I don't know why I've been dreading it because it's not a big deal.  I think it's everyone's complaint stories that have me all fussy and I'm anxious to know everything is fine.

Monti decided he didn't want to cuddle on the new office chairs yesterday -- he HAD to be held.  Love this little boy.  He slept for an hour like this while I sat and listened to a podcast.  

Have a great day.  I'll be out of commission tomorrow morning and then leaving for Asheville for my birthday week continuation.  Hellos will be spotty, but lots of fun to chat about.
