Ah, Gud, I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have anyone local you can talk to?
I am going to ask for options for clearing things out for the colonoscopy because I'm really worried about the liquids and weird taste or texture (even if it's a texture no one else can tell) because I don't want to throw stuff up or have an issue with it.
There are pills! You don't have to get a liquid! Apparently sometimes insurance is weird about it, but there are definitely pills now.
{{hugs for you, Gud}}
We value you.
It is cold and windy and I am not taking the dog for a walk. (She hates windy days.) I am also not going to the gym.
Kind of temped to make a cocktail for Mardi Gras but maybe I won't.
I'm sorry, Gud. Know that this is a place where you are loved and appreciated.
Tuesday is the day of the week that they have a super special at a local seafood joint, so I decided we would go there after my long day. I should know better, and at this time of year, maybe going at 4 would make more sense than 7. It was at least a 2-hour wait. They have specials every day, but Tuesday is 3 lobster tails for $30 or 2 whole for $35, so my favorite day. Well, Mardi Gras, and high season here. Ha! Not happening. So I went to another one of my favorite places a block away and decided to try the creole shrimp & grits from the special board. Should have gone with one of their more traditional Florida standards. Once you have had New Orleans shrimp & grits you should never have them elsewhere. Just sayin'. But I didn't have to cook and I was with my favorite guy, so it is all okay.
Had a very hard weekend capped by a very bad night last night. I'm so down I'm having trouble doing anything and just kinda want to die.
I kinda want you to live, so I guess it's a tie. Please know that this will pass. This bad day. And your kids need you to anchor their worlds. And we love you.
No dying please.
Weather is weird here too—I left my house and drove half a mile and apparently it had not snowed at home, but then I started seeing slush on the streets and when I got to my destination all of a mile from my house, there was a good half inch of snow! So weird.
Usurping the birthday announcement role for the day -- no regrets!
Happy, Happy Birthday to the lovely and amazing Laura!!
May the year ahead bring you much joy, and may today bring you your treats of choice. Enjoy!
{{{Gud}}} Hope today is looking better for you.

If you're ever in Memphis I would suggest giving the ones at Automatic Slim's a try before making that an ironclad rule.
Thank you for the birthday wishes! I am trying to just lounge and read and relax today. DH made me breakfast and is trying to keep me from working.

If (when) I get to Memphis I will do that for sure.
