Emotions:   Upbeat!  This too shall pass, right?  Right?

Thoughts on the Day:

  • It wasn’t a bad day, as sick days go.  There were the odd moments when I didn’t feel totally miserable, and managed to read a sentence or two.  My body is still sore, so I can’t lie in bed for too long, or sit at the computer too long and I have frequent chills and fevers.  I would walk around with a toilet roll, but Pepper (our latest addition to the feline side of the family) is the nemesis of every toilet roll in sight, so I have to hide my tissues in the pockets of my robe (which, by the way, closes nicely around me these days!).
  • I have to go to the post office tomorrow and get a few supplies, but other than that I will be found in and around my bed again.  I won’t be attending the wedding I was supposed to go to, which means that I won’t be seeing Lizana.  I hate that! 
  • I still have a penchant for yellow juices and avoid the greens.  I’m drinking water by the liter.
  • Michelle wrote to David and Katrina about extending our Juice Feast beyond 92 days, for various reasons and received a reply back from then.  In short they’re saying that one of the factors that determine when one should stop juice feasting is one’s weight.  If you fall below your ideal weight, you should stop.  Well folks, that’s just not going to happen to me any time soon.  The Global Juice Feast starts Saturday 1 March and I have ammended my plans to feast alongside for the entire duration (until 31 May).
  • Being an equal opportunities kind of person, I fantasized about Queen Latifa today.

    I hope you’re feeling better soon, make sure you get plenty of rest and don’t push yourself too hard. Give your body time to heal.

    Rest sweetie, rest. I know it stinks, I know it’s hard. I wish I could these days. I will be thinking about you while I am at my weekend. I will be sending you lots and lots of positive, loving energy all the way from Michigan!

    If you need anything, drop me an email. I will probably check it once a day. I really have to take a minute and figure out the time difference between us. I am always wondering and I never do it…hold on…OK, I tried but I have no idea where in Africa you are. If you let me know I will figure it out or if you feel up to it any time, I am in Central Standard Time.

    I hope you feel better for part of your weekend!
    xoxo
