Day 3: The Procedure

i didn’t sleep much last night. nothing has entered my body since about 10 last night. i yearn to eat solid food. my stomach hurts, is making strange noises, and it’s empty.

i’m miserable.

the day is today. pray for me.

Day 2

10 glasses of Miralax or until my stool is clear(yes, clear), one every 30 minutes starting at noon. the sheet says if i drink blue kool-aid, it will come out looking like blue kool-aid. that’s definitely not normal. 

12:30 p.m.- ate drank lunch: beef broth with soy sauce, popsicles
1:00-and the cycle starts again. first dose
5:20-there’s nothing natural about this call of nature
6:25-LAST DOSE! now i just have to suffer the consequences. i ate some green jello. we’ll see how it turns out
9:02-Bill Cosby would be proud

Twitter updates:

10:54-eager to eat solids
11:54-i’m hungry. let’s see what’s on the menu: broth, drinks, popsicles, and nothing solid or red.
1:00 p.m.-my lunch: beef broth with soy sauce desert: any non-red hard candy. 1st dose: Ginger Ale.
1:33-orange banana popsicles taste like baby aspirin. 2nd dose: still nothin’
2:09-3rd dose: when will it start working?
3:15-5th dose: halfway through
3:26-it’s starting to work.
4:28-i missed a dose, so now my schedule is all off. this is going to last longer than i thought
5:05-8th dose: if it was yesterday, i’d be done by now
6:25-LAST DOSE: now i just have to suffer the consequences
8:06-the sounds coming from within my body scare me

tomorrow awaits. i’ll give you an update as soon as i get home.

Heaven at your local drive-in

i found heaven at the local Sonic…

you read it right. fried mac & cheese snacks

with no nutritional value whatsoever, how could i resist?

gooey, cheesy, crunchy, greasy(but not too much), and amazing

you may want to ask,”was it worth the possibility of a stomach ache and the other complications that come up when you, drew martin, eats foods like these?”

way more than worth it.

i’m now an addict.

if you would like, you can donate money to the “Mac & Cheese Snackers for Drew Martin” fund.

but only before you try them, because after that, you’ll be setting up a fund too.

this is the epitome of soul food.

Taste This!

Ever wonder what your favorite effervescent drink and a coffee spin-off would taste like?

What do you think about 7-uppuccino?

Camping… Music Style

this week i am working a music camp at our church. one exclamation: AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! i’m helping with drama and rec, and have been fortunate to have the good kids pick drama. i sit there, play the track they need, and occasionally read a line or two. easy as pie. today in rec we played 4-square and the 1st-3rd graders had no clue how to play. the 4th through 6th graders, on the other hand, were great at it (the girls, at least) and had tons o’ fun. one girl, however, in the 4th-6th group would catch the ball, look at it, look around, then bounce it in someone’s square. sky tried to explain it to her but it did no good. it is great fun, but some of the kids are crazy. i’m going to touch on a few of them and their personalities, etc.

donovan: friggin’ devil child. the rumors cannot even live up to the truth of his antics. the saying sadly isn’t “out of control, out of sight, out of mind.”

jordan: how can a little girl that is so cute be so mean? haha. she plays nice whenever others are looking, but as soon as they look away, she turns fierce. 

stephen: a few words for him “keep hands to self!!” within 3 minutes of rec, he was able to elbow a kid in the face and knee a kid in the leg. maybe i should tell him to keep more than his hands to himself.

trevor: you don’t have to cry over everything. just because you suck at 4-square and can’t get past the first square doesn’t mean you need to cry every time you get out. i’m probably being a little harsh, but seriously.

that was my day. i enjoyed it, and can’t wait for tomorrow.
