Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

This photo shows what was on the agenda earlier this week. In the glass is the "medicine" that I was supposed to drink in preparation for a procedure that I was to have done the next day. I was reminded of the movie "Mary Poppins" and a couple of the songs she sang. The first song was "A Spoonful of Sugar", and the chorus line that says.... A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down......
The second song was "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", and the line that says...... Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious.......


Well let me tell you that this glass of "stuff" is really quite atrocious and I don't think even a spoonful of sugar would help me get this down. People tell me it is mind over matter, and just do it! I did manage to get about 1/3 of the "stuff" down, and then the gag reflex kicked in and I could do no more. I know some people have no problem doing this. You can stick needles in me, cut things out and take blood, and I have no problem with tablets, but this is a no no.
Anyhow, that is more than you probably wanted to know, and the procedure did happen, and all is well,and come back in 5 years. Well, we will see about that?
 Today I am wilting in the heat and doing nothing and hoping that tomorrow will be much cooler.

Blessings, From Jude

Drinking some of these preparations is grosse (is that spelt right?). Glad all went well in the end and yes it is hot, but now so humid as well. I just don't do hot/humid. Take care.

Its like having babies Judy, you forget the pain and line up again for the next one - only problem is there is no cute baby to love at the end! Lucky you had some gorgeous grandies to hang out with.
