More Radish Juice!
How I spent Labor Day Wekeend
Today, Monday, I spent a few hours writing episode nine of a Liz Shaw Forensic Mystery, but these days it takes me forever to get a few pages out. Then I juiced up radishes and parsley together and stored the juice in a 24 ounce jar. I also did straight carrot juice, about 20 ounces, and stored it in a jar. Both jars are for tomorrow's fast. I can have only a little radish juice at a time, and I also dilute the carrot juice. But now that I am getting to be an old hand at this, I strain the juice three times before I bottle it. Removing as much of the tiny fibers as possible prevents some of those quick "detoxifying reactions" that some authors talk about. It is ten until six, so I had better go see about supper, inversion, and other health stuff. Back to work tomorrow!
How I spent Labor Day Wekeend

Well, I was allegedly going to clean my house over the three day weekend, but I didn't do it. I had the trigger point massage Saturday, and I must admit that I did not feel that well for the rest of Saturday. There is nobody to hang out with, nobody to talk with, and I am still not allowed to be active and do the things I normally do if I get bored or lonely (ie, work out at the gym). So Sunday I spoke over the phone with my dear friend from Indiana, Debbi, who I have re-named Motivational Deb, or sometimes to really emphasize the point, I will call her The Original Motivational Deb, because I am sure that smebody has tried to copy her, but it is certain that anything other than the original is a second-rate knock-off. I felt better after talking to Deb, but life right now is difficult. I miss all my old pals from Indianapolis; yet I hated a lot about Indy! And to keep me peppy I drank a wineglass of radish juice and water every few hours |
