Or rather, no one at the pharmacy ever mentioned nor offered any other options. My only choice of flavour (singular) was: "Sickeningly Sweet". Like those undefined berry flavours of Kool'Aid. It's sweet, kind of fruity, kind of citrusy, and something... else. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I didn’t get a premixed batch. I had to make my own per doc instructions but it sounds like I maybe got the better path. It honestly wasn’t like drinking a powder in liquid, or sickeningly sweet. Just tasted like plain sports drink. Meanwhile, my brain is already in vacation mode for the con. Makes working difficult. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing packed, though my suitcase is always 5 minutes away from being ready for a trip. I'll be preparing my non-standard items during the weekend. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told to mix the powder with Orange Gatorade or water. Figured the Gatorade would taste better. Sure, sort of, but it put me off being able to drink any flavor of Gatorade for over 5 years. Ever since then, I've just used water. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean they are done, pack ready to go, why am I doing this to myself? Everything else is still out in the open. I will use the weekend to do that. Even thou I put on my request I'd work Sunday evening, they gave it to me off, so I have a full week's vacation (Monday to Monday). It definitely beats last year's adventure: I told them I'd work till Tuesday morning, np, only work 4 hours, easy night. I ended up just working 3 as I made quick work of work that night. I came home had to pack everything that morning + collate everything together for the adventures I was running, which meant staple character sheets together, gather up everything for each adventure. It wasn't fun. Normally I try & get out of here around noon, so my parents won't hit rush hour traffic in Boise (it's bad, really bad), but with everything that morning, we didn't leave till around 330 ish or so. With my parents, it's kinda of adventure so we didn't get over to Boise till around close to 5 & with the BS I experienced with the hotel I stayed for the night, they didn't leave me till around 6ish. They hung out in Boise for an hour or 2 to let the traffic die down & then made it home ok. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely pack for any trip until just a couple days before at the most, usually night before. Drives my wife crazy, cause she's the sort who packs 3 weeks in advance for a weekend trip. I'll probably start gathering stuff up this weekend. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slowly collecting stuff together and trying to remember what to bring. Dice, paint glasses, munchies, camera batteries. Glad I decided to pack my pills today, because I needed to order one of them asap or I'd be out by the weekend. Trying to decide if I should bother prepping anything to work on at the con. Between classes, speed paint, and shopping I rarely have time. Gotta remember to throw a couple of old Reaper tote bags in the car for all the extra stuff we'll bring home. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Eyed Monsty Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I'm Baaack! Procedure went very smooth according to the doctor. I don't know because I was asleep. When I woke up the nurse asked if I was OK, I responded yes, but somebody interrupted my nap. Doctor says they found some small polyps which were sent off for biopsy but he didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. In and Out was had, SWMBO did all the driving after the Surgery Center. I'm not exactly dizzy or feeling intoxicated but I can tell I am "off" so I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon in a semi-vegitative state and probably napping. Last nights activities did not include very much sleep, but a lot of dashing to the bathroom. Talk of Reaper Con is making me rather melancholy as there just isn't money in the budget this year, thanks to "economic reasons". My pillow is singing a siren song so I'm going to wander off to bed.

The Auld Grump This is what I think Grump is talking about: @TheAuldGrump have they got the board setup a little backward? This picture is from BoardGameGeek no less, but the Rooks (?) inner ring or outer ring? I’m kinda remembering outside ring for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
