Getting Things Moving.

4:40pm

Drank my Get Regular laxative tea last night before going to bed, but wasn’t sleepy enough from the coffee I drank a few hours earlier (around 10pm). Worked on some website stuff and didn’t end up falling asleep until 6am or so… ended up eating 2 pieces of really yummy fresh baked bread, which kind of made my tummy hurt.

Laxative tea kicked in around 9am, with some minor cramping because I hadn’t had enough water. I really enjoy this tea though, it’s smooth and flavorful. Some senna teas i’ve tried in the past were somewhat harsh in taste and cramping, but the Yogi tea is the best i’ve had yet, pretty mellow.

After the ‘exhausting’ elimination, fell back to sleep and didn’t get up until 2:30pm. Made 6 glasses worth of my “liquid gold” (lemonade drink) for the day & evening, almost 2 quarts but not quite. Took me forever to get all the ingredients and measurements together. For some reason i couldn’t make simple calculations without writing it down. Geez, my brain has gotten so lazy.

Didn’t really need to do the saltwater flush today. I think i’ll wait a few before drinking the salt water, let the tea and lemonade break things up a bit before flushing everything out… unless I start to get some really bad cravings or detox symptoms (like caffeine/nicotine withdrawals), I think I should be ok.

Posting my measurements here for future reference:

Six 8 oz glasses of Lemonade drink
1 lemon (approx. 8 tbls) + 4 tbls bottled organic lemon juice = 12 tbls

  6 glasses (48 oz) = 12 tbls
  7 glasses (56 oz) = 14 tbls
  8 glasses (64 oz) = 16 tbls    2 Qt.
  9 glasses (72 oz) = 18 tbls
10 glasses (80 oz) = 20 tbls
11 glasses (88 oz) = 22 tbls
12 glasses (96 oz) = 24 tbls

10:00pm

Just woke up from another nap. Haven’t been able to get much done lately, just been so sleepy. This cold rainy weather isn’t helping much either. Plus coming down off the coffee and trying to readjust my schedule is doing a number on my system. Probably should do something about the slight gas leak coming from the heater in the room i sleep/work in… not to mention some old lead paint that’s still lingering in parts of this old house in need of a serious makeover… Gotta get that leak/paint thing fixed PRONTO.

Television is bad. Too much noise. Too many food commercials. I’m bored, I’m brainwashed, and dammit, I want a burger.

At the moment I’m about 1/2 way through my lemonade. Put too much cayenne pepper in my drink, but I like it, makes me feel like things are moving. Who0000o!
