Monday: Day 5 Water Fast

Today is Monday. Getting up in the morning is very difficult. But once I get going, things are pretty great. I had lots of energy this morning. Made eggs in the nest for Carlos and Jenni. Was very peppy and happy. Hard to imagine that a person fasting on water could have pep. But I did.

I do struggle with boredom. You can't do much when you are water fasting. I pretty much laid on the couch all day. Watched Cinderella.....the stupid cartoon Disney one. I don't like that one. I prefer the Rogers and Hammerstein (1965) I wish I owned that one. I'll have to make sure I have it for the next fast.

Sunday: Day 4 Water Fast

Woke up not feeling so great. I think I was dehydrated from being at the beach too long the day before. After drinking a ton of water I felt much better. It was time to head home. We packed up the car and left.

Felt good on the way home. Very relaxed. Carlos was having a good time too. We stopped in Cuero for fried gizzards and tobasco sauce. Carlos' favorite food. Did I mention that we got them on the way down too, along with a Budweiser?
Carlos will only drink a Budweiser with gizzards. Never ever any other time.

At home I felt really good. Checking my heartrate and everything seems fine.

Saturday: Day 3 Water fast

Day 3 was pretty good too. In the morning, I walked on Water Street with Scout. Not really feeling bad at all. A little slow, but not bad.

It turned out to be a sunny beautiful day. We bought some cute new beach chairs and a yellow baseball hat for me and headed for the beach. Stayed out all day. Later on, I cooked for Carlos.

Nice day. Had a lot of energy

Friday: Day 2 Water Fast

On Day 2 I began the actual water fast. It really wasn't as difficult as I had anticipated.

I hadn't planned on doing the water fast but something told me to start. So I did.
I felt pretty good. It was kind of a drag to be on a vacation and not eat. I mean, aren't vacations about eating?

I made sure that Carlos had plenty of great food to eat and lots of cold Tecate.

It was cloudy and rainy on Friday. So we didn't go to the beach.

Thursday: Day 1 Juice Fast

Day 1, my fast began. I drank black cherry juice throughout the day. I spiked it with Mangosteen.
We also packed the car and headed for the beach. I felt really great.

Normal

One day, my son asked me why I couldn't be *normal*. Why couldn't I wear Keds like all the other moms.

Bonsai

A Bonsai tree has come to live with us. It is very handsome.

i do care

i usually lie to people and say that i don't care when they hurt me.

but really, in secret, i do care. A lot.

My Best Friend

This is my best friend. We've been friends since 1968.

Need I say more?

Why are Salmon cans tapered?

Salmon cans are tapered to conserve space. When empty, the tapered cans are nested like paper coffee cups. Tapered cans require much less space to store and ship than cans that cannot be nested. Space is an important issue when shipping salmon cans to the remote locations of the salmon canneries, particularly in Alaska where everything must be shipped in by barge.

when i smell my dog

when i bury my face into my dog's neck, into his fur, i smell 12 years of my life. Children, teenagers, husband, houses, other dogs, cats, marriage, deaths, births, summers past, winters past, the sky, the moon, the earth, heaven, cookies, springs, house rabbits, divorce, tears, new life and peace. All in the fur of his neck. With just one deep breath, i'm reminded of it all.


and it makes me cry.


what will I do when he leaves me.

I had a friend

I had this friend.......well, I thought he was a friend. Turns out he's just a jackass.

How did I miss that! How did I not see that in the beginning. I'm such a dumbass.

Oh well. I'm sooooo way over it.

What was his name? hmmmmm......you know, I just can't remember.

I hope he still sends me work when he has it.

I guess I'll miss the music......yeah...I might.

****edit******Okay, so I've decided that I was wrong to say that he's a jackass. I mean, just because someone doesn't like me, does that make them a jackass? No. It doesn't. So he's not a jackass. I should have said, Turns out he didn't like me.

RSS

It seems I have Repetitive Stress Syndrome.

All the more reason to stay OFF the computer.....unless i'm working........

Dogs Roam

Dogs like to roam. And recently, I've discovered that I like it as well. We leave the house, my dog and I, not knowing where we'll end up or when we'll arrive back home.

I've started letting the dog lead. I follow him. After all, he's the "master roamer".

We go far and wide.

It's loads of fun.

Woof.

Hmmm......I think I'll go to IKEA!

Postponed stupid fast

feeling too crappy today to fast........a bucket of foil wrapped chocolate eggs would fix me up quick.....

Yesterday = Happy
Today = Want to stab something

my hands

i've been having trouble with my hands. i'm going to try to stay away from the computer unless i have to work. i'm happy about that. i thought i might try to read more. i've never really liked reading all that much. but i like the way it looks when people do it. i like fiction. i know that. but that's all i know.

tomorrow, i start a 4 day fast. just rice and water. and then i start a 28 day allergy exclusion diet. (yippee)

no wine or beer or coffee or any of the things i love. 28 days is not that long. i'll be fine.

i had a nice day today.

i'm happy.
