I figured I'd give you regular updates on things I find interesting about my week!
"My Procedure - Skip past if too much personal information!"
I had my procedure on Tuesday. I'm finally semi okay to talk about it comfortably with you if you're interested in knowing. I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. I recorded all my weeks reactions last week on the weekend and began Monday not being able to eat anything all day. I was starving, I had no energy. I hadn't had any Pepsi either for 2 days, only water and by the end of Monday I had so much water in my system that I ended up throwing up. I took 4 naps that day and I was on the toilet all day :(. It was honestly the worst I've felt in my whole life. I had panic attacks and consistently felt awful throughout the whole day.
I went in for my procedure on Tuesday and when I laid down on the bed I started to have another panic attack. The Doctors tried to calm me down by talking about what I do at work but I was just so freaked. They put a needle in my arm (which is still very seriously bruised up) and they put the anesthetic mask thing on me and I coughed a few times and next thing I knew I was awake with my pants on. It took me 3 days to feel normal again, every time I took a big breath or I swallowed anything I felt a pain in my esophagus and it was not fun. I'm suppose to go to my local doctors to discuss my results this week but I'm a little nervous to be honest.
"I went bowling, again!"
I went bowling with 2 other people, they allowed me to put the bumpers up and on the second game, I WON! I got 115 points and that's honestly I think the highest I've gotten. I think I got like 4 strikes that game it was great! Also, the last time I went they had really nice chicken salt on their chips and I decided to ask them this time what brand it was. The girl that served us went and grabbed the tub 'Nice n Tasty' was the brand and she asked us if we wanted a container of some of it. HOW NICE?! She grabbed one of those plastic rectangular containers and filled it halfway up with chicken salt and it was great! Sometimes asking is useful :D!
"Black Widow"
I saw Black Widow last night at the Drive in theater. (In case you don't have that where you live, it's a theater where you go in your car to watch movies). The night was so cold that we had to constantly turn on the demisters in the car all throughout the movie.
*Spoilers for the film*
The movie was okay. It took me far too long to realize the kid at the start of the movie was Natasha. I thought it was a boy... In my defense, the my windscreen was constantly blurry. I don't like that they X-Men Origins: Wolverine'd the intro sequence to the movie. In which they montage'd over the shit we wanted to see in a Black Widow film. I liked the banter between Yelena and Natasha, that felt real to me. I think some of the stunts were a bit over the top and should have killed Natasha but didn't. A Widow looks like shes paralyzed from the same fall that Nat has (Nat fell arguably worse as she hit things on the way down but was fine). Is she inhunman now? I liked Yelena, I thought Taskmaster was incredibly underutilized and Red Guardian even more so. They set up a fight between Red Guardian and Taskmaster and we never got to see it??? (idk maybe I went to the bathroom when it happened). Red Guardian felt like a joke of a character and I gotta ask why? Are men now a joke in film today? Just something to ponder. The action sequence at the end with the red room in the sky was boring (why was it in the sky? how is that hard to see???). No stakes because we know whats going to happen, no consequences to Nat breaking her nose. I think it's a cop out for the other Widows to be mind controlled, takes away from their actions. I think this movie is a too little too late. Idk maybe I'll like it better on a second viewing but it was hard to watch while the car was really cold inside and maybe that added to the criticism I had.
5/10!
"Dr. Stone"
I watched season 1 of Dr. Stone over the weekend. I've been watching a lot more Anime on my own time and this one is great! I was hooked right from the start. The whole world just gets petrified into stone and this one teenage prodigy scientist breaks free and must re-invent and colonize the world again after it's been over 3,000 years. He manages to de-petrify a few people and it's just overall really fascinating. I'll be watching season 2 as soon as I can.
9/10!
What was your week like? :)
