Prep

It was definitely Winter Storm Afternoon.  I don't know how much snow we accumulated, probably not more than 3-4", but it was blowing around and looking unpleasant.

Steve had his prep for the colonoscopy tomorrow.  Actually, it's been freakily non-interesting for him. Drinking 64 oz of Gatorade mixed with Miralax and 4 Dulcolax didn't taste bad and hasn't affected him in any terrible fashion, while still getting the job done.  We were prepared for a nuclear fall-out over here, but it's been less interesting than a typical Friday night.  ;)  That's a good thing...

So, like I said, it was prep day, which also means no solid or dark-colored foods or drinks. Somewhere around 12:30, hunger became an issue, so we looked into what he COULD have. Part of it included jello, but said "No red Jello". I go to my cupboard, blow the dust off the jello boxes, and what do I find? Two each of Red Raspberry, Wild Strawberry, and Cherry. Heh. Six boxes of red jello. Which made me laugh.  Eventually I did also find orange and lime, so I made those up, and Ann had some chicken broth, so I made him a lunch of jello and broth, and by the time he got to eat it, I think he thought it was a lunch of champions.

It was 5 pm when he went to hit the Gatorade thing, and said we didn't have enough.  So I had to go back out to the store today.  Let me paint what a pretty picture this was.  I hadn't showered.  My hair was a mess.  I hadn't put any makeup on.  I was in sweat pants and glasses.  I walked into CVS and two people in there knew me, not best friends or airport people, but still felt the need to chat for a minute.  Oh well.  I got what I needed out of there anyway, even if I looked like a homeless person.  ;)

We have to check in at the facility at 7 a.m., and his procedure isn't until 8:30.  Terrible idea to do it that early on a day Kaylee doesn't have school and we could have all slept in!  :P  But so be it...
