It's past midnight, and here I sit -- drinking Ovaltine.
I hate being scared and nervous and worried about shit that won't happen. Little biopsy tomorrow. Nothing at all to be worried about, I am sure. But not to be worried would be to betray my Harris roots.

Maybe tequila has fewer calories. But I probably shouldn't drink a tumbler full, like the Ovaltine.

What are you drinking?

4. My dear bertha!
Edited on Thu Jul-06-06 11:25 PM by CaliforniaPeggy
Let me see if I can help you relax......

(BTW, I'm not drinking anything)

I always try to think of the possibilities....

What are the chances that something's wrong? Actually small....


It is what it is, IF they find anything...which they probably won't.

And the results are out of your hands.....

Remember that you are doing the good deed here...taking care of yourself...

And that is the first step, always......

You'll be fine, I'm sure of it. The unknown is always scary......

:hug:

I hope this is helping! If not, please forgive me.........

Edited to add: Oops,sorry.....forgot you're going for a biopsy...

8. What's a bushwhacker?
I only have Ovaltine because my nephew, who just spent two weeks here, needed it.

Yes, he needed it. I took him grocery shopping. When we passed by chocolate syrup I stopped, and pointed to the Hershey's, and said, "You like chocolate milk, right?" He said, "yeah, but I think Ovaltine is more nutritious . . ." :rofl: the little manipulator. :rofl:

Thanks for your wishes. I wasn't going to say anything, but hey. I wouldn't be bertha if i didn't whine about something.

15. A bushwhacker is 4 liquors and 3 rums blended with ice.

It goes down easy and will knock you on your ass!
You know that you are loved by the older DUers who have posted with you for years. We will all be wishing you the best tomorrow!

Your nephew sounds like quite a lad, he'll grow up very well with his skills at getting what he wants!

BTW ~ He might be right about the Ovaltine. :thumbsup:

:loveya:

11. Please
Can't we talk about your love and strength and calm and shit that happens and big biopsy and things to worry about and your roots and calories in tumbler fulls?

That would be much more interesting than what I am drinking. ;)

20. Add a little


It won't kill you. It'll make you sleep better. It won't affect the test.

Good luck. Let us know.
