4 Liquid Diet Days Left--- Good day!

I left the house at 7:30, so I didn't eat again until 5 (Okay, drink) and that was the worst thing that happened all day. I took all my old clothes, and divided them into three piles-- a third went on eBay (over $400 so far!), a third went to Goodwiil, and I split the reaminder two ways-- half went to a young starting teacher I know online who could use some teacher clothes-- and the rest (plus jewelry and shoes) went to this neat place I found that helps inner-city mothers find jobs and actually dresses them for their interviews. It was really fun to get rid of it all. At 9:30, I saw my surgeon. He shook my hand three times--- he was that happy with my loss. And the nurse told me that since I had been so compliant for so long-- I don't need bowel prep! YAY! At 11 I had another blood test (their process has taken so long that the old ones are now invalid) and an EKG. I am healthy and my BP is perfect, as usual. :)

Driving home, I stopped at Kmart to get a cheap fan for my head when I am on the recumbent bike...and lightning hit an oil tank nearby--- HUGE fire, whcih I drove right past moments later--- glad I wasn't there when it went KABOOM! Luckily no one was hurt. It was a good day. Tonight--- drinkin' my slime and ridin' my bike.

Shari you have had a good day.   So glad you don't have to do the bowel prep.  I'm not exacly sure what that all entails, but I think I read somewhere on the main board about chugging some castor oil  You made a nice chuck of change on e-Bay (I have to learn to do that one day) and you made a great charitable contribution as well.  And, last but certainly not least,  you narrowly escaped being burned to a crisp.  Hurry I think you should run down to the nearst 7-11 and buy a lottery ticket. Glad you had such a great day!!
