Pool Party Minus the L
One of the instructions handed to me at the time the hospital turned me loose was that I had to have a certain procedure done about 6-8 weeks from then.
After I made the appointment, I got a packet in the mail that explained to me that this procedure requires certain preparation the night before. After both my co-librarian and the library aide shared their experiences, I stocked up on good TP and magazines in the powder room.
Before I get into the evening's festivities, I get to spend the day consuming only what they call "clear liquids." Which seems odd to me, because coffee (sans creamer) is on the list. If coffee's made right, it's a bit hard to see through.
Vodka, on the other hand, is nice and clear. I mean, the packet said as long as things aren't colored red or blue, they're all right.
I think they made a mistake.
The least they could do before subjecting me to this procedure is let me relax a little with a real cocktail.
Alas, the only cocktail I'm having involves lemon-lime Gatorade.

Good luck with the "procedure" :)
Angela--that sounds delicious. Thank you for the well wishes!
'Fly--yeah, the bright side was the coffee. And that WOULD be a fortunate "oops"!
