A good night's sleep

Today my brain appears to be functioning at a high level. Possibly because I got lots of sleep last night. I had no caffeine after 9 am and I think that was the cure. That means I can be obnoxious and perky today (really ticks off Walter if I am too perky - but sometimes its nice to aggravate your spouse.). The cat also got a good night's sleep so he is bouncing around the house this morning. This just aggravates both of us - especially when he runs up and down the stairs one of us is trying to use...

Also, I think my digestion has recovered from the wonderful looks-like-milk-tastes-like-crap-barium solutions. It was not in full agreement with me all day yesterday but nothing dire happened. Needless to say I am glad that is over. But I get barium again in a few weeks - well I can worry about that then. I need to get through my lovely colonoscopy first next Friday. They make it most (in)convenient. You are sedated so you can't drive yourself but they don't tell you the exact time to be there until the day before. I guess you are supposed to have a chauffered limo waiting for you at all times to drop everything and drive you there and back. They are very strict about this. You have to give them the name of the person coming to pick you up when you get there or they will cancel your procedure. You can't take a taxi or a bus with out an escort. And, they will keep you there until the person shows up to take you home. (Why do I have a feeling that too many other morons in the world have tried to say, 'oh, my ride is waiting out front' and drove themselves home after sedation and then had an accident so then the lawyers got involved and they wrote up this policy...) I must note that after my little caffeine error on Monday, I have to use the word other when using the word moron for a while.

Today is another busy day. First I have to make myself STOP playing on the internet and procrastinating (again) and either go for a walk or to the gym.I am not sure it is warm enough for a walk. I might need to go to the gym where it is warm. Regardless I need to motivate. Then I go to work and then to the crisper, a bit on the early side, because then I have a follow up with my doctor to see how I have been doing on hormone therapy and to ask a few million more questions. I will be out all day again. Funny, I am supposed to be a patient and taking care of myself and I never seem to be home these days.

Today is Jan 31 (as I am sure you know). My schedule gets really crazy for the entire month of February. If I think I am busy now, the next four weeks will be much worse. Mental note to self - do your utmost to retain the majority of what is left of your sanity for the next four weeks.
