Hi Its Wednesday Hump Day!!!!!
For those who are not feeling well, please feel better and get well soon! Drink lots of liquids and get plenty of rest.
Seven more days until surgery....I'm counting down the days and it's getting close now. This next week is going to fly by.
Happiness to everyone on this hump day!
Today hubby is having two scopes: colonoscopy and endoscopy. They are going to biopsy his chrones spots. So, last night, he had to drink the liquid bomb stuff and he was up all night and mad because I wouldn't stay up with him. Let me back track, if you have time. See, last night, the International school, which is the school that prepares international students for our university course work needed essay readers to grade the students and place them in the English classes. They had like 250 essays. They pay like really really good to grade them, so when they call, I go. Hubby says, you leaving me. I say, yep. He says, but I started the prep., I say, well, the bathroom is there, the toilet paper is there and what could I do. So, I graded until around eight or so and came home and he was whining about being on a liquid diet. I ate my snack and he whined that I shouldn't eat real food in front of him and reminded him of how post wls, I was on liquids for ever and how he still ate regular food that I cooked for him. He is such a baby. So, at ten today, we are headed to the hospital for his test.
Then, I have to go over and provide the fellowship board with my plan for my defense. I have two more years to defend my dissertation. At the end of the two years, I can either defend or lose my fellowship. Well, the dissertation is written, or the first draft, so I am taking this year to tighten it up and maybe next summer I'll defend, for sure next fall. So, I am going to tell them it is a work in progress and that I'll be using my fellowship for at least two more years or one and a half year.
After that, I'm a free bird. Well, other than listening to hubby complain about how bad his prep was and how awful he feels. YIKES.
Have a great day

And in fact, Gary was up when I was on liquids post-op WLS, too ... eating in front of me. So I got back at him!
Well I have more kids here. What a surprise huh? Today I will end up with 8 girls. Thank goodness they are all good.
Maybe I can get them to pick raspberries. Everything we grow is late this year.
For those of you who have met Linus, we are going to shave him today. I will try to post before & after pics. It ought to make for an interesting day! Well I ho[pe you all have a great day.
