Just the life of any other Rachel

I'm trying to remember what has been going on the past few weeks. But not much is coming to mind.

The other women in the family are getting a bit contentious about grandma's things.  The scheduling of going through items, how fast the house will be cleared and sold, etc.  I'm not involved other than being around.  My MiL is the executrix so she has final say on things, but it seems hard to be diplomatic with everyone.  Plus there are a lot of people to deal with.  The original will was split evenly between the three kids.  But two of the kids died before grandma, so it gets passed on to the grand kids.  So my MiL has 1/3 and 4 of the grandkids have 1/6, but that's of monetary value, not items.  So yeah...

I have a colonoscopy tomorrow.  Prep is going fine, so far.  I feel sloshy from having to drink so much, and  I'm at the point where I hate all the sweet things: jello (I always hate jello, but especially now), ice pops, hard candy etc. 

After the first dose of methotrexate I haven't been feeling too bad.  I'm relieved, because having to be on a medicine long term the those kind of side effects is terrible.  In a couple weeks, I'll do a blood draw and make sure it's not hurting my liver, and we'll proceed from there.

I can't think of much else for now.
