Comfort

Yesterday was a rough day for me. Detox symptoms were really heavy, it was hard to get out of the house for my high-pressure 8 AM meeting because my stomach is torn up, and things just weren't going smoothly at work. It's hard to keep it together and "bring your A-Game" when everything hurts and my brain feels a little fuzzy.

By the time I got home, I was ready to spend some "woe-is-me" time with the dog. And if I may whine just a little more, Annie has developed a new phobia of leashes and harnesses. It's getting harder to get her on a leash, and I have no idea why...we use a harness, so it's not bugging her trachea. We don't yank her around. It's a mystery, but it's one that's really frustrating. I need to pray for patience. Lots of it.

I was in the mood for some comfort food, so I cheated on the "raw" part of vegan a little last night. I sauteed some onions and garlic in a sauce pan in some olive oil, wilted some spinach over it, and blended that with some basic macadamia nut "cheese." SO YUMMY! I had that with cauliflower and celery. I needed something a little decadent. I was feeling a little sorry for myself because my diet is so restricted. It's peach season (my favorite!) and I can't have any :"(
Today went a little better. I'm still at one super shot of Adya Clarity, and today I took it a little later in the day, which seemed to help a little. Warning: TMI. My stools have been really sickly sweet , which doesn't make any sense because I'm not eating carbohydrates. I wonder if the detoxing is working and this is just one of the symptoms? I just don't know. That and I have a new intolerance to coconut. I wasn't drinking the water, just had some pulp. That was part of what got me down - my list of viable foods is shrinking.

There are things to be thankful for and I need to remind myself of that. I am in pretty good spirits about things usually, but every once in a while it gets overwhelming and I kind of spiral downwards for a few days.

Things to be thankful of:
Doggies with big ears

An awesome husband

A fuzzy friend to keep me
company on the couch (or on my feet while I'm typing)



And a Cute Nephew!!
