Log
09:15 AM: I’m up.
09:30 AM: Facebooked for several minutes. Friend count: 595 (up one). Fan count: 112 (unchanged).
10:00 AM: Talked with [Emmy]. She wanted to wish me well on my prep for the colonoscopy later this week, which I will begin today.
11:30 AM: Consumed 1/2 gallon of apple juice, mixed with Miralax. This took approximately 80 minutes (1 cup every ten minutes until the entire half gallon was gone).
01:45 PM: Watched the 2011-10-16 and 2011-10-23 episodes of NBC’s Meet The Press public affairs news show via the DVR.
02:30 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
04:45 PM: Watched today’s episode of Dr. Phil, called Exes Behaving Badly.
05:30 PM: Leaving now for trick-or-treat night up at sister Jojo’s. Her husband Ken is waiting outside to drive me there. Back later.
07:30 PM: Consumed the other 1/2 gallon of apple juice, mixed with Miralax and white grape juice. Like this morning’s dosing, this took approximately 80 minutes (1 cup every ten minutes until the entire half gallon was gone).
08:00 PM: The official end of trick-or-treat. Good thing. It was quite chilly sitting out on the porch. Now, I’m in Jojo’s living room at her electric fire place. It creates a nice warm draft (convection). However, it generates little radiant heat.
09:30 PM: I’m back home. They had lots of great food up there; everything from sloppy Joes and nacho cheese and chips to candy of many types. However, as was in the midst of prep for a colonoscopy tomorrow, I ate none of it. Difficult to resist eating, and perhaps I should have stayed home because being so close to those great smells tempted me greatly. But I did not resist. I kept my mind off the food by watching the kids come by with their candy bags open.
11:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy]. She comforted me, as I am a bit nervous about tomorrow’s colonoscopy. It’s probably not very difficult. But the anxiety I’m feeling over it probably comes more from a fear of the unknown, than a fear of anything specific about the procedure. I’ll be alright. I keep telling myself that.
11:30 PM: Watched tonight’s episode of NBC’s Nightly News via the DVR.
12:05 AM: The daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count rose this time, and currently stands at 973, which is up from 966 at last check. The record high for this dimension remains at 1788. The next goal: 2000.
12:10 AM: I’m headed to bed. Good night, and I’ll write more tomorrow.
