There are a bunch of rules for this weekend.
The first is: No liquids with red or purple dyes. Like, my favorite water flavor enhancers? They’re these two:
Seriously. I took that picture 2 minutes ago. So no water flavor enhancers.
I’m guessing that that means “no caramel colored soders” as well. So I have to go and pick up some Diet Red Bulls for the weekend.
Sunday is the *FUN* day. That’s the day that I get to fast *AND* I get to take, ahem, “intestinal stimulants”. “GoLYTELY” is the brand my mom suggested. The handout we got from the doctor’s office suggested a four pack of pills and Miralax. Three different friends have suggested to me: “Talk to Maribou. Tell her that, come Sunday, if she is on the same floor as you, she should be prepared to go to a different floor to use the restroom given that you will likely need the restroom at a second’s notice.”
She has informed me that she knows.
As such, this weekend will be spent hydrating and dehydrating. Sure, there will be laundry and such. I’m sure that I’ll make some food for the coming week and definitely for when I get home from the procedure on Monday… but, quite honestly, I’m not really sure I care about that quite yet. This weekend is overshadowed, already, by Monday.
So… what are you doing?

Ugh. I had a bout of what was probably S. aureus enterotoxin-caused food poisoning this week so I feel your pain.
This weekend is going to be recovery from this week – both the food poisoning (my stomach still isn’t quite right) and all the grading.Report
The annual Slade aural Xmas card is currently being committed to CD for lucky recipients. Here’s a Spotify playlist for all but a couple tracks. Enjoy!

Good luck. I am happy I still have a few years before dealing with all of that.
Yesterday was my wife and I’s anniversary and we just had a date at a lovely Italian restaurant. Now we will do what couples with young children do on a night off- netflix and chill. See you all tomorrow.Report
