You know it's spring when...

I have flowers on my toes!
The Bunny is Back!

I looked out the bedroom window last evening and saw this bunny sitting by the shrub. Now I think this is where they are all winter. When the snow is on the ground I have seen bunny trails leading back to this cedar. Usually there is a whole family. I will keep watching.
Looks like it will be a cold Palm Sunday. Carl has gone to drive someone to the airport and I am not going anywhere.......except the loo.
Sigh..today I am prepping for a nasty test for tomorrow.
I have to have "the dreaded colonoscopy" tomorrow. I have never been so nervous of anything in my life. This is all because I had a rotten appendix 6 months ago and the surgeon feels that it is a wise course of action. My rational mind accepts the reason my emotional mind is running around in a blind panic. Don't you just love the warnings they give you? I was especially impressed with the "death may occur" one. Geeze thanks heaps. How do they put that one in the paper?
Mrs. Whatzizts expired with a hose up her bum? Charming. I made myself watch the procedure on YouTube. I figure if Katie Couric can do it so can I. She sounded as nervous as I am now. By noon tomorrow this whole thing will be over and I will be home having a nap.
So.. because I am being so brave I rewarded myself with a pedicure after work on Friday. Then yesterday I ordered the Queen Ring Shawl pattern from Heirloom Knitting. The picture is posted on the knitting blog. I am going to be shopping for the yarn at the Frolic. The budget is shot with the car repairs anyway so I am taking some money out of my "last resort savings" to finance this. I have to be nice to myself right now. Oh, and wait till I tell you this. Talk about adding insult to injury, the prep powder cost me $30.00!! I told Corinne ( the family wine expert) I could have achieved the same result with 3 bottles of cheap plonk and felt better about it. So today is fluids only, jello, broth, water and peppermint tea. Bloody wonderful. I am starving already. I wonder if rye and ginger counts as liquid? I have a nice bottle of South African white wine chilling...lol ..Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and you get a snotty nose.
