The Difference Between Good and Evil

Yesterday I made a bad choice.  Not the kind of choice that you could call a "sin", but a bad choice all the same. 
I made these...

(good)

the day before I have to take these...

(evil)

Now, I'm sure you can probably figure out what I'm having done tomorrow.  Today is a liquid diet of 8 oz. of water every hour until bedtime, plus the above evil items.  I really do not like Gatorade at all.  No offense to Gatorade or those of you who love it.  I have to gag it down.  The last time I went in for this procedure, they couldn't do it because my heart beat was causing a problem on the monitor.  I was then sent to an appointment with a heart doctor who made a change in my blood pressure medicine and all is good.  I did the prep and didn't get the colonoscopy.  This time I'm not leaving that table until the procedure is over because I'm not doing this prep again this year. 

I'm trying to stay out of the kitchen today, because I'm not sure with my memory that I can remember to stay out of the chocolate chip cookies.
Now, Rick, just remember there had better be some cookies left in that jar when I get home tomorrow because that would be considered evil and so would whatever I might do.
Wish me luck!

  3. I totally understand. I got sick to my stomach after drinking all of that gator aid. My hubbie just had his and he got to drink Crystal light.....not sure if that is much better. Just think...when this is all over you can eat those wonderful cookies!

  4. Best of luck, and you would be so justified in doing an evil thing if your hubby ate those cookies.

  7. Oh, dear! I'm late reading this post, and you have probably already had that procedure! I hope all went well for you. The prep is such an annoyance to me! I have a very high pain threshold, and have this procedure wide awake! The prep is much worse!:(

  11. Catherine, I've heard so many people say that the prep for the colonoscopy is the worst...the procedure is nothing but the before stuff,....just plain stinks. I hope all is overwith for you now and you get to forget about it.

    Yuck...I hate Gatorade too.

  12. Hope you came through your procedure well. I did this same prep in June and I detest Gatorade. There has to be something that tastes better. On another note, I just framed and hung one of your fall prints that I purchased on your etsy site. Gorgeous.
