#JamesBarryDiary 5/1/1876 Froze hard last night and blew much and long. This his day was cold and wintery. I was drying all day and I ground to grist's of oats. My stomach was very much out of order last night and all this [day]; so much so that a spell after dinner I hove it all up and more.

Someone on here said if 2025 was a drink it would be the colonoscopy prep drink. 2026 is shaping up to be what’s expelled after drinking the colonoscopy prep.
