Yesterday’s adventure was my first shopping trip, including taking a bus, since I got notified that I had contact with someone that tested positive my last time on a bus. Perhaps that wasn’t wise as I am having a colonoscopy tomorrow but I’m out of too many kinds of food and I’m going to be starving when I get home from the procedure as I have to have no solid food today. I bought chicken broth to eat today. I’m allowed that. In fact, I should have some now before I have to start drinking the prep. I’ll be right back. Remind me to never buy Aldi chicken broth again. The two most important things I needed were English Muffins and bacon. They were out of English muffins and I forgot to get the bacon. I heavily recommend their thick cut gourmet bacon, it’s amazing. I might have to make a special trip as I don’t want to go another two weeks without it. I also went to Walgreens to get my prep. There is a general shortage of the prescription drink I usually get so my instructions were to buy two over-the-counter laxatives, MiraLAX and Dulcolax. I bought a 14-day supply of the former which I had to mix with two bottles of orange Gatorade, and drink today. I also take four of the Dulcolax. Now I know that you have to take a lot of laxative to OD. Today is not going to be fun. I am allowed to have black coffee. As I said the other day I’m out, but I saw that Aldi had their knock-off Café Bustelo super cheap, so I bought some. I am buying my usual good coffee tomorrow. I’ll this as my emergency backup. I might have used too much but I didn’t like my wake me up cups. I might make more later. I’ll see if there’s room in my tummy after all that Gatorade. Adding garlic salt and MSG made the broth palatable. I didn’t add pepper because it’s black. Garlic salt and MSG are both magic potions for improving food. Always be sure to be stocked up on them. If you are afraid of MSG headaches just have somebody else put it in your food and not tell you. It’s thinking you had MSG that causes headaches not the algae derived condiment itself. I started taking the MiraLAX in Gatorade and it tastes just like Gatorade. Today is not going to be as bad as I thought. It’s much better than the gallon of prescription laxative I usually drink. I don’t even need to add MSG and garlic salt to it.
Last night I talked to LORi for the first time in ages. That was good. I need to go back to calling people I haven’t spoken to in a while instead of my small comfort calling circle; that’s only four or five people. 75% of my calls are to just two people. I love talking on the phone, I hate calling most people. There’s only one person that I call with total comfort.
I got the results from my COVID-19 test on Saturday, it was negative. Not a surprise. I had to get tested because of the colonoscopy. I will not get a rapid test again unless required to. I get my results back in one day to the regular one and instead of it taking 5 hours it takes 10 minutes. Everything is about balancing costs and benefits.
I finished my first course of prep. Not bad at all. It started working after only three of the four glasses in the course. If you want to find me the rest of the day you know what room to find me in. I was planning on writing about politics today but now I think I should conserve my energy. I feel like I’m forgetting an idiot story. I forgot to buy bacon but that wasn’t it. Forgetting the story will count as my idiot story.
