Everything Fred – Part 408

31 August 2024

Welcome to the first real week of college football. Unlike the times I went to Ole Miss, there are some real games this week instead of the usual patsies. Ole Miss believes in tradition so they scheduled a patsy.

This morning I awoke to noises in my digestive system. Usually when that occurs, it means diarrhea in on tap for the day. So far, it’s not been a problem. However, the day is young. Of course, I start the prep tomorrow so I’m not sure how that will work if I do have diarrhea and then take a laxative. Fort Lauderdale may be declared a superfund site.

I managed to put clothes in the washer, changed linen on the bed and clean a little in the house. I really should be doing my monthly clean today but I’m just not up to it. I would normally be on the drying cycle by now but the washer seems to be stuck in an unbalanced cycle. Usually I can stop the machine, re-arrange the clothes and start it back up but it’s locked the top and I can’t get in.

Today seems like Sunday to me for some reason even though I know my routine is a Saturday routine and college football is mostly on Saturday. We’re overcast with rain threatening. It’s rained so much this week that Trevor had to cut my grass three times this month instead of the usual two.

I’m resigned to the prep requirements for the colonoscopy but I hope this is the absolute last time I have to do this procedure. Hopefully he’ll check not only for any growths but also parasites – like Mom used to do to me and Archie.

I hate to say it but I feel a nap coming on. I’ve been operating on low energy for so long I don’t know what normal feels like anymore. Enough complaining. Stay tuned!

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
