I Survived Summer Reading and...

all I got is this stupid colonoscopy.  Tomorrow I am having  a colonoscopy. I thought about cut-tagging it but I'm not going into any detail. I'm too young for this but my father had colon cancer and my doctor thinks it's important to have one.

I think the most unpleasant thing about this whole experience is the fasting. I can't eat anything but "clear liquids" today.  Clear liquids are not food. 

To distract myself, I  loaded up on books, DVDs, and CDs. I must stay away from the TV because I naturally gravitate to Food Network, Man Vs. Food and Top Chef. Food=good.  Even the "Why Yer Fat" RSS feed is making me hungry.

I will also be catching up journal posts. The only good thing about summer reading is that when it's over, I have lots of fic to read!  

LOL, the Spell Checker offers the following replacements for colonoscopy: cloudscape, kaleidoscope.

Fasting is for the BIRDS. I'm pulling for you!

Oz could probably fast, no problem. He beat the wolf, after all. But Devon would be the world's biggest baby.

This whole time, I've been thinking about my maternal grandmother. She died before I was born but she would fast for spiritual reasons. I can understand why people do it. It does get you past your somewhat carnal desire for food. Of course, they won't mean I'm not going to pig out tomorrow as soon as humanly possible. I love feeling in balance with the universe but I also love cake.

I agree with you about Oz and Devon. Oz could certainly handle it but Devon would constantly bitch about the situation.
