Today's Good-bye: Day 1

Deneen's phone call got me out of bed. I had awoke about five minutes before the phone rang so was still in a sleepy haze. Talking to her incited me to really miss Pennsylvania! Her "accent" brought up fond memories of life back there, and most of those were about food!

I had a nutritive drink and then began to drink a bottle of magnesium citrate, "the sparkling laxative". While this laxative is one million times more friendly than drinkly Go-Lytely (however that is spelled), there is an incredible amount of citric acid in it for flavoring to the point of it being a real salivary gland stimulator. With each imbibement I'd make faces while "Steve" would talk out his answer to the oral exam. He'd laugh at some of my puckerings only to make me crack up.

Soon I was pooping out liquid red because the dye from the laxative wouldn't digest out.

For dinner I had chicken broth and snuck a few saltines. I then took a little more laxative just before bed.

Pooky and I enjoyed some marital love and then watched Sunday night's episode of "Family Guy" and let the kitten crawl around on us. This was a good idea until we realized that they peed all over us!
