Colons, Cars, and Calories
It’s still pretty loud here in case you were wondering.
It’s day two of floor install.
It’s so loud.
It’s unbelievably loud.
It’s actively loud right now as I’m recording this.
I had other things to say, but all I can think about right now is how loud it is.
Very, very loud.
Your Daily Lex In addition to having my kitchen floors replaced, it’s also a colonoscopy prep attempt number two.
It started last night where I took triple doses of Miralax at the doctor’s request.
And then today I was told to stop eating solid foods by 2 p.m.
I stopped eating solid foods at 8 a.m.
Mostly because of my incomplete prep last time and my desire to not have that be a problem this time.
My colonoscopy is earlier this time around than it was yesterday.
I didn’t have a colonoscopy yesterday.
Then it was prior colonoscopy.
So I have to be at the facility at 7 a.m., which means that I do one set of prep tonight at 6 p.m.
when I drink the gross stuff, the soup prep.
And I do the next prep at 2 a.m.
So I get to wake up at 2 a.m.
to drink that stuff.
That’ll be fun.
And then I have an hour before I have to stop having any liquids.
And yeah.
Shit my brains out?
I think that’s the plan.
So I’ve got all that to look forward to.
Here are the things I’ve had.
I did have a solid food breakfast, which was three eggs and a piece of toast.
White toast.
Not whole wheat because I follow the rules.
And again, they told me I could have a lunch as well, but I didn’t.
I mean, I did, but the lunch was jello.
I’ve got jello and I’ve got Italian ice and I’ve got broth.
Those are the things I’ve eaten today.
I’m going to have a Gatorade later.
It’s 3.30 p.m.
as I record these words and I’ve had 641 calories today.
Normally by this time I would have had 1,200.
It’s going great.
I’m basically celebrating a bonus Yom Kippur.
It’s fantastic.
I’m hungry and I’m cranky.
But tomorrow’s colonoscopy and then, more excitingly, it’ll be post-colonoscopy.
That’s what I’m really looking forward to is when it’s done.
Meanwhile, my daughter Sierra just hopped in the car a couple minutes ago to drive back to summer camp.
The longest drive she will have ever done solo.
So I have that to worry about for the next four hours while also being hungry and anticipating my hours of toilet time yet to come later today.
I think that’s all I got.
I think those are the things on my mind.
Anyway, I hope you’re having a wonderful Wednesday.
I hope you don’t have a colonoscopy tomorrow, but I do hope you get a colonoscopy once a year because it’s healthy.
It’s good for you.
Man, oh man.
I’d like to have just the one this time and not do a third this year.
That would be sad.
Anyway, happy June 17th, everybody.
Goodbye.
Lex.
