Day Seven (In Which Veronica Hopes Things Will be Better)

Yesterday was hard. I had 3 more BMs after I wrote my last post yesterday afternoon. Acidy burny ones with even some solid bits. I finally managed to clean the tub and took an Epsom salt bath. It felt so good. I didn't want to get out. I think I soaked for 45 minutes. I wasn't as emotional after the bath, but I was still feeling kind of crappy. Sat on the couch with S as he perused the interwebs and I started to read The New Optimum Nutrition Bible by Patrick Holford. It's very interesting so far. Had some very strange dreams last night, and I realised that all of my dreams have an apocalyptic background and have for a long time. I need to get to the bottom of that. Even what should be happy dreams have a background of destruction, danger, and death. That can't be healthy.

I sincerely hope that today will be better than yesterday. I am still super tired and had a fairly productive SWF this morning. I need to make sure that I drink plenty of lemonade today as I don't think I drank enough yesterday. It's going to be hard for the next 24 hours because we are expecting upwards of 15 inches of snow to hit the area. Normally I make roasts and things when it's going to snow, but alas, not today. I do have to make bread for S though. Mmm bread. All food sounds so good right now. I really miss it. M is coming over to watch Carnivale so that will be a little distracting which will be good for a bit of a distraction except I won't be able to have snax with them. Meh.

Only three more days after today. I just have to keep reminding myself of that.

Day Six (In Which Veronica Gets to Sleep)

My apologies for not posting last night. I was simply too tired when I got home. I made some lemonade and proceeded to be a total lump on the couch. S made himself a deconstructed sushi dinner which looked amazing. He had sushi rice in a bowl with some Wakami Furikake (dried seaweed rice seasoning) on top with some avocado and sushi grade tuna on the side. It looked so good and I was so tired, I just wanted to cry. I was strong however, and stuck with my lemonade.

S was sweet enough to make the bed while I had my smooth move tea which I had steeped for a couple of extra minutes. As soon as I was done drinking it I crawled in bed and was asleep before 10. S's phone rang at 11:30 and woke me up, but I had to go pee anyway so it was okay. When I got back into bed I had some fairly bad cramps from the tea, but managed to fall back to sleep pretty quickly.

This morning all my suspicions about yesterday being a detox day were confirmed. The tea did it's work and when I did my SWF at 7:30 this morning I had some very good results. I went back to bed after that and proceeded to sleep like a dead thing with only a couple of bathroom visits until 10:30. Then we got up and I started drinking my lemonade. I have grand designs that I will clean the bedroom and a bunch of other stuff, but I am still tired. I feel like I could go back to sleep, but I know that I must just be detoxing, so I am going to listen to what my body needs and try to keep it low key today. I have reading and stuff to do, so I am all bundled up on the couch under a blanket next to S who is being crafty with a coat and metal bits. Mmm, lazy Saturday.
