Monday: colonoscopy

Well, I'm sure everyone will be relieved to know that I have no colon problems. The doctor declared me healthy and told me (well, told Ben actually) to come back in 5 yrs.

Overall, it wasn't really a terrible experience. The two worst things were having to drink a lot of water with medicine in it over a short time and peeling a sticker off of myself from one of the vital sign measurers.

I'm pretty sure that Ben found me rather funny afterwards though. I was holding the pop after stopping by McDonalds he had to keep talking to me telling me to stay awake. My response was that I was awake...I had to hold the pop after all. However, I only remember about half of the trip. Then we got home and it was all I could do to make it to the futon and fall down on it. I also asked if the doctor gave Ben a picture of my colon. I still think that it would be cool...I mean, pregnant women come home with baby pictures and people with broken bones come home with bone pictures, why can't I have a colon picture?

That's all the funny stuff I guess. I proceeded to take a long nap and was more normal when I woke up.

Sunday: pre-colonoscopy and desks

Well, today has been pretty laid back. We got my desk hutch and drawers put together, so that's almost done. Flurry supervised.


I'm also having a colonoscopy tomorrow, so today was my clearish liquid diet day. It turns out that one package of jell-o is more "food" that I expected and chicken broth actually has a lot of flavor. I'm not very hungry right now, but I do feel like eating. Most things sound really good right now. But I guess I can wait until tomorrow.

Saturday: yearly fall meal

Tonight was our once yearly meal of squash and ham. It was delicious.

Thursday: 1.5 desks

We can play footsie now too :D

Tuesday

We have a tree in the back that seemed to turn bright red overnight, because neither Ben or I remember it being like that yesterday.

We also got the hutch on Ben's desk.  It still needs some doors.

Monday: desks!

Our desks came in today!  These are the packages (after we inspected suspesious spots for damage.)

Having some of the pieces put together and most of the pieces strewn about:

This is the bottom half complete.  We still need to put the hutch and two drawers together, but since it was usable we decided to stop for the evening.

Sunday

Well, I had to work for a few hours today.  It wasn't exciting, but it wasn't that bad I guess.  The tree for which I raked leaves yesterday proceeded to dump the same number of leaves as before so you can't even tell that I raked.
