Yayyyyyy! Hubby and I successfully fixed the stove. Now, it is a lot easier to turn off. No more jiggling the handle and praying it turns off. It actually took longer cleaning behind and underneath the stove than it did to fix it. We also put silver foil-like contact paper up behind the stove to make it easier to clean up. Unfortunately, we weren't too good at that and got some crinkles and air pockets. At least it looks cleaner. Lots of grease everywhere! Spent 2 hours at the DMV just to get a picture taken for my license renewal. It wasn't too bad, because I got stuck between 2 guys who liked to talk and joke around. Wound up eating a late lunch. Thank goodness I had some homemade ham and cheese stuffed rolls in the freezer for an easy lunch.

Today has wound up being comfort food day, so tonight is salad night. Don't know why I felt like comfort food. I guess it just happens. Now, time to figure out how to clean the grease on the back of the stove without removing the cooking marks and the wall behind it. This weekend is repair weekend, which we also call hubby and wife bonding time, for the stove! (We call it hubby and wife bonding time, because we that is how we were attracted to each other....We're both nerds.) It's an electric stove and the 2 back burners aren't clicking off properly. We have to fiddle with the switches to get them to turn off properly, so we are replacing the infinite switches for those 2 burners. According to our research, that is what the problem is.

I feel so much better about my weight now. I was a little worried, because I had actually gained a pound when I was on the liquid diet. I didn't record it, because I just felt so disappointed. My hubby joked that I should have lost 10 lbs. and I joked back telling him "I wish," because I knew better. After I had weighed myself and told hubby I actually gained, he was surprised. I told him I thought it might have been all that sugar in the Gatorade and white grape juice. Now that I'm back to my normal diet, I've lost that pound. :) I'm back to 145. I'm so happy. Now, I can continue getting that scale to move down some more. The only thing is, I have to adapt some potatoes back into it, since I had purchased a bag of red potatoes for the low-fiber diet, which I'm not on anymore. I did pretty good last night by eating just one red potato. I sliced it really thin into fry shapes and baked them to a crispy goodness, so it worked really well. The eye thought there was more potato then there really was. Sometimes you've just got to trick the eye into thinking there is more on the plate.

Today is back to sort of back to normal. Diet wise and activity wise. I couldn't resist buying avocados. I was craving lemon avocado spread, so that will be part of my lunch. I will be having strawberries on sponge cake, but I make my own sponge cake with less sugar. Hubby and I have to finish the cake, because we got a lot of ants due to all the heat, humidity, and rain. I'm just thankful that all we got was bugs. I saw where a bridge was washed out near by, so the people on the other side of the bridge can't leave their homes. I feel so sorry for them. I also saw the Potomac river breached really badly in DC, so I feel that we are bless and thank the Lord for that.
Yesterday, I walked out to our garden to get some onions. I haven't been out there for quite a few days due to all the rain. WOW! For the first time it looked scary and thought it looked like something out of a horror film. I was waiting for some monster to pop out of the bok choy and beans area! Not only was the bok choy up to my calves, but the tomatoes grew so big that they had swooned over the ties and were every where. I really don't remember planting that much bok choy and tomatoes. The tomato stalks are the width of my pinky or bigger! The cucumbers look like they are pretty well done for the season, so I guess we'll be pulling the cucumber plants and putting some of the bok choy there. I was surprised that we already have some ripe tomatoes, so I'll be making tomato salad for me and stewed tomatoes for hubby.
My 2 old ladies are already starting to molt, so I guess we're in for an early winter. We're getting 4 - 6 eggs per day now as apposed to 8-10. I'm glad they are molting now, because it looks so sad when they molt in cold weather. Abby has bald spots and Hawkeye will soon start to look like a football. Then the wonderful waiting game for them to get their new feathers in. I saw a few black feather in the nesting boxes, so I guess it won't be long and the Black Stars will start the molting process too.

I was so happy yesterday! I made it through the colonoscopy with "flying colors" as my Dr. put it. Thanks to the suggestion from an FS friend of not eating too much during the low-fiber phase. The doctor said he could tell I followed his instructions, because my colon was very clean. He said he got a really good picture and that there were no polypus. Yay! Unfortunately, he had to explain prior to the test that I am in the "five year club," due to my family history. Of course, emotional me teared up and the nurses and him did a good job of calming me down. Colon cancer is the worst cancer in the world and I've witnessed it first hand. It's gross, demoralizing, and extremely painful. That's one cancer I definitely want to avoid! Afterwards, I agreed with him that it wasn't that bad after all and I will be back in 5-years. I literally felt nothing, because they put you to sleep. Of course, I kept cracking jokes to get everyone laughing and to distract myself. They liked how I pretty much stayed in "good spirits." Well, it was easy since the nurses and the doctors were great, with a wonderful bedside manner! I'd say the worst part was the laxatives; however, I was lucky enough to be able to use the Dulcolax/Miralax prep instead of the Go-Lightly. I don't want to see any more Gatorade for a long time now. I must be getting old, because that stuff is really sweet! If anyone were to ask me for advice on getting a colonoscopy, I'd say get yourself some adult diapers and don't expect to get any sleep the night before the test! Staying close to the bathroom is not enough. Yep...I'm old...It's true when you reach a certain age you start sharing the grossest blow by blow medical battle scars and tests. Thank you everyone for your support!
