While continuing to pay next to no attention to the cat tower I got them last week, the cats have been finding other ways to amuse themselves. The most annoying of these is turning the new footstool I bought at IKEA into a cat fort, usually knocking the lid and cushion to the floor, followed by the other two fighting the cat inside the stool. Usually at 3 am…

Also, there were a few fun days vying for possession of the box that the cat tower came in, until it was taken apart for recycling. I give up…

You can tell it’s winter because I don’t normally cook like this for myself. Though in fact this made about three meals, the best being a garlicky chicken sandwich on a crusty roll, with a bit of soy mayo and crispy greens on top. And of course a generous glass of fino sherry was added to the sauce while cooking. Maybe I should start writing my own sherry cookbook?

colonoscopy prep

Since Sunday I have been on the pre-colonoscopy low residue diet. It’s really not that hard to stick to, though I’ve noticed that the food list I was given at the hospital last week varies a bit from other lists I’ve found online. But in general they are similar.

Today I am on the day-before liquid diet, which is obviously more extreme (and way more boring). But that’s nothing compared to when I have to start taking the SOLUCIÓN EVACUANTE this evening. All I remember from last time was that I was gagging after the first glass of this stuff, and I’ll have to drink 10 of them – one every 15 minutes – until finished, and then 6 more the next morning. Wish me luck!
