Day Four (In Which Veronica Wears More Clothes)

I slept pretty well last night. I woke up at 5:43 after having a very weird dream about Madonna and I going out clubbing and trashing my grandparent's house when we got back. Apparently we were house sitting in my grandparent's old house in Sherborn. In the dream I was devastated that I had gone out drinking and that I had trashed the house. More that I had gone out drinking though. There was also some sort of strange creature in the basement that I thought was a monster, but it turned out to be friendly. Very strange.

After I woke up I tried to snuggle back to sleep but had to go to the bathroom. When I came back I tried to sleep more but S's alarm went off. So I downed my SWF and cuddled some more. Surprisingly I was awake when S left for work, but I conked right out after that. I didn't wake up until my 7:00 alarm went off, and that was after having gone to bed at 10:00. It was a good thing I got up when I did as the SWF wasn't waiting anymore. I got up and dealt with that, then did my dry brushing and took a lovely shower. After that, I slathered myself with coconut oil as I am wont to do and my skin feels LOVELY!! Now I just need to add my Neti Pot to my routines in the morning and before yoga and I will be fabulous!!

Speaking of Neti Pots, I need to address something here. I had a good sense of smell before I quit smoking. A really good sense of smell. It wasn't as disturbing as my father's but it was up there. I have been smoke free for 11 days now and my sense of smell has increased. Now add this cleanse in and I can smell for miles. Seriously. It's insane. Unfortunately there are some really bad smells in our apartment that I have to encounter and this morning was no different. Ugh. On the plus side I cannot wait to see how food tastes after all this is over!

I have a lot more clothes on today to try and stay warm. Well not a lot more, but hopefully enough. I have tights on under my pants and a camisole under my sweaters. It seems a bit better, but my hands are cold. And I miss food. I really really miss food. It's amazing how often I use it to break up the day. I am stunned how much I miss looking forward to it and smelling it and tasting it. I love that food is such a big part of my life, but I had stopped differentiating between good food and bad food. One of the reasons I am doing this cleanse is to get back to the good food. The healing healthy food. I don't want to be super strict with my diet, but I would like the food that I enjoy to be wholesome and minimally processed. And local when possible. I want to make everything I can from scratch so I know what's in it. Hmm, I miss cooking too.

Erg, 6 days left.
