Last meal

Yep, that's what Hubby called it, tonight's dinner; so I chose  a Chinese smorgasbord with plenty of leftovers for him to eat or to share when I can eat again...due to...

You see, tomorrow begins the cleanse for the "surgery, procedure, test" colonoscopy on Tuesday.
No solids from morning on, all day, liquids plus the stuff that makes all solid waste exit your system starting with a bottle of liquid magnesium citrate at noon, 12P.M., next at 1P.M. 2 pills of Dulcolax, and at 3 P.M. the second bottle of magnesium citrate both of those in lemon flavored, my favorite, agh, and after midnight not a thing until after the "surgery, procedure, test" is over if you feel up to it that is. I am scheduled at ten.

My choices of beverages are tea, coffee, clear soft drinks, bouillon, consomme, and broth, Gatorade, Popsicles, Kool-Aid/Crystal light JELLO, or clear hard candies and gum, nothing in red or grape color! (Guess it could be mistaken for blood?)
I will be drinking my usual black coffee and green tea, as well as club soda, probably chicken broth, sugar free life savers and gum, lemon JELLO made tonight by Hubby who was kind enough to do that!


Posing the question to the many what would your choice be for  your last meal?
Chinese food is only one of a few I would have chose, lobster, filet Mignon, escargot and probably a few more so that my last meal would take days and days...wink, wink.
Consequently we received too many fortune cookies with our hefty order, four in all.
Hubby's were, "Don't panic." and "Everyone loves progress but nobody likes change. " Good advice for the first and sure enough for the second.
Mine were,"The joyful energy of the day will have a positive affect on you" and "Q. Why do some people have headaches? A. They never used it before."
I sure hope so, on that sage commentary, but I never heard of a cleanse doing that before, ha?
On my second one, huh? I use mine all of the time and still get headaches! Perhaps it means use it correctly? Not always I must admit on that one.

Moving on...
 
I did get my swim/ROM in again for an hour, actually two halves. 
The last two days my sail cloth was not raised due to hefty winds, but still very warm here, even in the mornings. The pool was already up to 86 degrees F, before ten thirty A.M. and the air too was in the eighties as well, glorious!

Send love and prayers to all people in Chile and Nepal!

On that note of how much we all should take inventory of how lucky we are each day, and allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy, safe and healthy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
