day 3.

this is when the real fun starts. last night's laxatives didn't kick in until 7 this morning, so i have a feeling work today is out of the question. (hard to drive around to customers when you have a handful of Dulcolax coursing through your system.) and today i get to start my liquid diet, yippee! i'm going to make a light breakfast in a sec so my body has some nutrients in it... but after that, nothing but broth and gatorade until about 6pm tomorrow night. great -- give the gal with low blood sugar a mandatory fast... let's see how early i go to the hospital tomorrow so i don't faint before the procedure. *sigh*

since i'm stuck home today, and the ex will be at work, hopefully i'll be able to get some stuff done. i have a ton of office work to catch up on... plus i have to do laundry. i offered to wash some towels and sheets so that the ex can take them when he moves... don't want to wait until the last minute to do that.

i'm thinking i should also nap a lot today. can't feel your stomach, or crashing blood sugar, when you're sleeping. sounds like a plan.

little angus has been talking all morning. he just walks around the apartment and chirps in these loud, high-pitched meows. i have no idea what he wants, i'm guessing he just likes the sound of his own voice. he's so silly.

"can't feel your stomach, or crashing blood sugar, when you're sleeping."

I beg to differ on this point. Perhaps because I'm diabetic that I have a unique perspective on this. Every once in a while, when I've either not eaten enough, taken too much insulin [I'm Type-I], or been more physically active than usual, I've had my blood sugar crash in the middle of the night. From a dead sleep at 4:00am, I'll be up and out of bed and heading to the kitchen for something, anything, to eat.

It's not fun.

Of course, your upcoming ordeal doesn't sound like much fun either :\

eek, thanks for the heads-up. you'll know the blood sugar is an issue if i post something later on that looks like "ffdfds ioyknkf dd irov vfefef." *grin*
