Sunday Prep Buddies / Monday Scopes!
It's 2 AM where I am so it's "today" that I'll be prepping.
I compared the instructions for this one with the ones from a year ago and several notable differences:
- Orange stuff is now supposedly okay.
- Dulcolax is supposedly not needed (though I think I'll take it anyway)
- The low residue last time said "3 days"; this time it said "the week before". I choose to interpret "starting Friday" as "the week before" as a full week is crazy.
- Supposedly I start on the Clenpiq at 3 PM vs 5 or later. Weird. Not that it matters much. Round 2 will need to be at 2 or 3 AM. Supposedly I need to stop drinking 4 hours before - it's been 3 hours in the past - so I'll likely do it at 2 as that will give me more time to drink the other beverages.
I ate an ear of corn Thursday. I have reason to believe that this is not lingering.
I quit my iron supplements and my Welchol (used to treat chronic diarrhea) about a week ago - and it shows. We went to a movie today and I had to dash out during the promos.
Got loads of juice, ginger ale, etc. Had my traditional pho lunch today so I could get extra broth to take home for prepping. I know I swallowed some of the onions in the soup but I did my best to minimize it; I've done that on previous ones and it doesn't seem to have been an issue.
I have a nearly full package of Depends because past experiences have shown that to be a good idea.
I'm gonna go to bed in a few minutes. Unfortunately I can't sleep super late because there's some work stuff going on, but I work from home so at least I don't have to go anywhere. They know I'm not available after 5 PM.
I made both pineapple and peach jello. Unfortunately the peach came out more red than orange, so I'll wait until afterward to eat that.
