Detox: Day 6

Hmm. Comments don't seem to be working right. I mean, the comments themselves are, but the count that can be seen at the bottom of the entries isn't accurate. Technology. Such a blessing.

Well, here's something I didn't know until last night. Olive oil, when taken properly by the teaspoon, is a quaint addition to a salad, a pasta dish, or marinade (that, I knew). Olive oil, when gulped from a measuring cup, is a) spicy and burns the back of the tongue and throat; and b) makes me just as heavey as the (ohgod) Epsom salts. I drank about 2/3 of the 3/4 of a cup (got that?) that I was supposed to, and could take no more. I even tried Marie's trick of holding my nose while consuming something vile, and it didn't work.

I went to bed and laid on my right side and drew my legs up to my stomach, as directed. I stayed that way for a half an hour, and things inside were going glurp and blurp in entertaining ways. I didn't sleep very well last night, but that's only because I wasn't tired - even though I went to bed after 1:00 a.m.

Something must be going right, because I have this newfound energy - or at last lack of fatigue - that hasn't been present for a while. Barring yesterday with the ohgodohgod, I haven't wanted to take a nap for a week. Which is a big deal, for me.

So! The weirdest part of the detox is over. From now on, I only have to take a handful of capsules. The seven-day Oxy-Powder flush starts today.
