And I'm Done
Everything looked OK.
I am now looking forward to eating solid food.
This read what I was prepping for last might.

It's a posting ground for my more-or-less annual personal newsletter, 40 Years in the Desert.(PDF's available at link)
I find that if I wait until year's end I miss stuff from earlier in the year.
40 Years is put out the old fashioned way, it's printed out on ledger sized paper with 4 pages and mailed to people, total circulation of about 100.
I'm just not the holiday card kind of guy. A warning, if you comment here, I may use it in my paper publication.
You will get credit, and if I can get your postal adress, you will get at least the issue where you are quoted (probably a lot more, I rarely trim my list).
If someone actually wants to pay for an issue...I don't know, I guess a buck, but you can get the PDF's free.
I intend to post at least a couple of times a week,

I presume you had a colonoscopy? I've had to do the prep four times in the last three years - barium enemas and colon repairs (mine ruptured - now THAT's unpleasant!) require the same prep. If you want tips to make it tolerable for the next time, I'm a pro. Plenty of ice, drinking the prep with a straw, and a better-flavored clear drink (like white grape juice) to chase it help a lot. And really soft TP. The important thing is, you survived it for another ten years.
I chased it with ginger ale, but after the 3rd glass it started tasting bad too, and I went to water.
I was able to flavor my solution (inappropriately called "Go Lytely") with sugar-free lemonade mix - the nurse recommended Crystal Light brand. Of course, I won't drink THAT anymore, but it wasn't terrible, just increasingly metallic. And a swallow of the grape juice covered it, but I really froze my tastebuds, too.
