1. Had an unexpected laugh at the pharmacy today when I thumped my MiraLAX on the counter and the cashier instantly understood everything from the look on my face.

2. We both laughed, which made the whole β€œprep supply run” feel a little less dreadful.

3. Still debating which beverage I’m willing to ruin forever after two gallons of this stuff… but at least I’m going into it with some humor.

EDIT: the nurse I talked to yesterday was incorrect - she said 64 ounces was a gallon, but it’s not - it’s 1/2 a gallon. I only need to drink a gallon total of the wretched prep. In my state of panic and horror when talking to her, I didn’t calculate that in my head at the time.

Amazingly, that does make it sound a lot easier for me. Not EASY but EASIER and I’ll take that.
