I suppose I should’ve checked closely the schedule of plan for my colonoscopy prep. I could have worked on Monday, and other then having very specfic restricitons on what I could eat for breakfast, lunch and snack. Instead I took a mostly relaxing day, doing a handful of chores (breaking down a stash of boxes for recycling, shredding papers, etc) and just relaxing most of the day. The inherent problem with the instructions are because you are starting at 6:PM it means you’ll be staying up pretty late as it work through your system, and the instructions says get up and finish prep with the last liter of liquid 4 hours before the procedure. So I finally felt able to fall asleep around midnight, and was up at 3:15 to finish off prep. I did get in a nap before the procedure and got called in early since the appointment before mine called in to cancel.

As a note, the nurses helping the procedure were very relieved that I was already vaccinated and it was much easier for them to put the oxygen in my nose.

They found two polyps, which were benign.

We headed to the cheese shop, picked up some lunch and went home. I ate, then headed upstairs to sleep. Shannon woke me up around dinner time, and I was up a bit more, then slept overnight. Normally I get around 5-7 hours of sleep a night, and on Tuesday I got 12.5 hours.

So here’s a reminder, if you are recommended to do it, get your colonoscopy.

Bacon Arugula and Tomato

Fresh mozzarella, a loaf of Whole Grain Sourdough that had shown up that day, and some fresh tomatoes from Blue Gate. Topped with some bacon from Crooked Gap. Good things.

Sheet Pan Shrimp “Boil”

This was surprisingly quick to put together. I picked up some gulf shrimp, pulled out some breakfast sausage (Lucky George) and corn from the freezer, and used potatoes I had already bought. Then added some leftover onion. I upgraded my purchase of the spicy salt to a pouch, rather than the jars, since I go through it fast enough. I ended up getting two, to get the free shipping. I ladeled over a couple of dashes of the butter sauce. Delicious meal overall. For me, I would’ve perhaps added more potatoes, but maybe that’s just me with that butter sauce and the potatoes. Certainly something to make again.

Brats

Still a bit tired after work, even though the previous day I slept an astounding, for me, 12.5 hours of sleep. Easy to do, good things.
