.... and I talk about poo

"Are you high?"

~~~~~~~
This weekend was pretty random to say the least.  I started the herbal supplements on Thursday. They are all pretty much to help me produce healthy stomach bacteria.

My insides have been less than healthy for quite some time. I have never been one to have regular bowel movements. few times a week at best for a while now.

I've come to a point where i am sick of the side effects.  the lethargy, tiredness, lack of energy, bloating, gas, you name it.

I am dumping my toxic load.

now... this is all personal speculation.... but it seems reasonable, and explainable.

I started the herbals on Thursday evening.

They are meant to help my body purge the toxins. By way of healthy bacterial balance. so the toxin purging started on Thursday,.... but the first toxic 'dump' if you will,  did not happen until Saturday around lunch time.

so.. you wonder... what happens when your organs are dumping toxins, but your body is not dumping anything....

 you get high.

 its the only way I can explain it.

 I was bat shit crazy all day on Friday and Sat morning until I had that first 'dump'

I found that I could not find words to make simple sentences. complete and utter lack of focus. I had the attention span of an aphid. I said random things.

to subway guy when he asked what I wanted: " hey, whats up " [ everybody laughed]

I found almost everything insanely funny.  to the point where i would still be laughing about it 10 - 15 - 20 min later. even by myself.

The subject of wiener water [ hot dog soup? ] came up and I lost it for a while. Tears streaming hysterics.

I could barely focus on a game of cards and had to repeatedly ask what suit was Trump.

Hypersensitivity to everything.  the elastic of my pants, the texture of the chap stick. the feel of the cushion beneath my behind. Everything.

it was somewhat euphoric. but i was to air-headed to even really enjoy it.

i had an insanely overheated sleep on Friday night.  half woke up wondering why my shirt was wet, but fell back asleep before consciousness.

Saturday morning I asked for help cutting veggies cuz I knew that me and a knife wouldn't work out well.

 Then I pooped. and I was fine.

What happens when you pay attention

you start to notice things you didnt before.  Or see things you chose to ignore.

I am starting an extreme Naturopathic diet on Monday. To fix my insides. My digestion has never been amazing.  its time to do something about it.

 more on what i was told later.

 for now.

 McDonalds.

Big Mac Meal.

11:47 am.

It was good. damn good.  its part of my eat anything i want that crap until monday whe i have to start this diet.

I liked it. I skipped most of the fries, but ate the whole burger and drank almost all of the cola.

By the time I got back to the office [ work] I was hot, sweating even.  behind the knees, armpits and inside of my elbows.   My face felt hot and my lower back was starting to bead.

 I would have taken off my sweater to cool off, but I only have a tank top on underneath and didn't feel it appropriate for the office.  My feet were hot too and i dreamed of taking off my shoes.

but my feet sweat. and so was worried they may smell already so i didn't.

Enter in the flushing.  my face is red.  visibly. and my neck and forearms and armpits are itchy.

so are the top of my feet now that i think about it.

 its currently 3:00 pm.... and i am still reacting to the big mac.

 I have no doubt thats what it is. zero doubt.

my cheeks, still hot, feel a bit puffy as well,  if i really sit and think about it.

if I didn't think about it, I'd just pass it off to the office being wonky and someone messing with the thermostat. but no one has said its hot in here today. and everyone still has sweaters on.  so its just me.

me and my big mac.

Never the same again

I went to the grocery store with some co-workers yesterday to buy a lottery ticket.

I bought a chocolate bar and they bought a lottery ticket.

Life will never be the same.

it will be a battle to not have this on hand, to not have a piece of its velvety goodness in my mouth for every minute of every day.

I will think of it, and long for it. always

no promises

on regularly returning to the blogging world.  but maybe

• I gave Luna a birthday since I don't know her real one. - its Today!!

• I bought a chocolate bar i have not seen before. Lindt Dark, with Chili.   I am in love and have ate all of it,  save for one square.  The life of that square....it not going to be long.

• I am having a horrifically hard time focusing on work lately.
  

• I have an appointment with a Naturopath tomorrow. One that came highly recommended. I have high hopes that I can find a path to a healthy digestive system, not plagued with bloating and gas.

• I totally love talking about poop. I'd do it with a perfect stranger.  I hope he asks tomorrow.

• Speaking of poop.... I am seriously considering starting Colon Hydrotherapy treatments as well. but will discuss this first at my appointment tomorrow.

• I really love bread and bread products, but am considering giving them up. Except for maybe one day a month, on which I will likely make myself sick by binging on them, since the thought of never having bread again is too hard to bear / bare  [ i really don't know which one is right at this moment in time.....it'll come to me later]
  

uh oh!

I have registered for a 16km road race on April 18.

My first ever event.

I haven't run for over 2 weeks due to life getting in the way.

Slivers

so after work, and after beers after work, i went home.  I decided, since it was nice out, I will start on the fence.

 

Chain link fence. building it. alone.

 

so far so good.  I have almost one section done.

 

supplies used? small household hammer, long long nails, pliers for a wrench, and a whole lot of zip ties to attach the fence tothe poles and stuff.

 

 it may not look pretty, but its not going anywhere.

 

 need more supplies.

 

 need someone to extract the 15 - 20 slivers I have onthe back of my left hand... didn't see the thistle plant.

 

 doesn't feel good.

i loved it... i have not used it yet, but it is made.

Cake is cooled, i am just patiently waiting for the butter to assume room temperature so that I can make my first batch of Butter cream icing to ice the cake

is it too soon to quit my job and go back to school to be a baker? and open my own Cake Shoppe?

Note: I need glass mixing bowls.. the plastic ones i have are not going to cut it. Nope. NOT CUTTING IT

The start of something Cake

i have always loved making cakes.

my sister in law and i used to bake and decorate a cake every thursday

every single thursday, ad then we would eat it and watch Survivor.

How much better can it get?

I am back on the cake band wagon. I want to bake cakes again.

I have been to superstore a few times, to buy baking goods,

flour, cake flour, shortening, icing sugar, rolling pin.

I am searching for an hoping for donations of cake tins, and mixing bowls, and plates big enough to hold a cake once decorated.

I want to get so so good at decorating cakes.

I want to be as good as the show - the ace of cakes.

i dont think i knew how much i loved cakes.

but i thinkof baking a cake, and i really do get giddy.

so.. prepare yourself.. for some Cake.

Also,

i will make cakes for people. if you give me some warning. they will be free, but i will accept donations to pay for ingredients.

Cake!!

For the love of all things

Today, at the water cooler at work, I was filling my bottle, and a co - worker noticed I had a large Dragon fly resting on my pant leg.

Hanging out. not moving, but clearly alive.

 He must have landed on me in the parking lot.

we talked about him for a minute as he sat on my leg.

we brainstormed about what to do with him.

11 flr of an office building is no place for a dragon fly.

 We moved him into a paper coffee cup.

 I took him down the elevator. 11 floors as I smiled to myself since the other elevator riders really had no idea they shared their day with a dragon fly.

across the lobby, outside.

I moved him to the bush outside. I wonder if he landed on me to die. he looked very lethargic.

 I'll go see if he is there at lunch

would you have taken him outside? 11 flrs down?

or just killed it?

Curious....

this is very curious indeed.

Love tothe N'th degree

there are no words. to describe how much I love sleeping. It seems lately i would prefer sleeping to doing anything. and not because I am sad or lonely or depressed. [ at least i don't think, as I am pretty happy lately]

I just get great joy out of sleeping, thinking about sleeping, being on the verge of sleeping. being anywhere near my bed.

This morning i woke up on time, unlike yesterday when my alarm was set for PM and therefore I slept in until 8:30 and I should have been at work at 7:30 but i got to work at 9:30. Yay me.

...back to today... I showered, got dressed, played a couple know-it-all challenges on facebook [ cuz if we are being honest, i am addicted a little bit] then i went in the bedroom and saw my bed. and I had a love pang in my heart, and I looked at the clock, and it was only 6:28 am. and I did the quick mental convincing that i do in fact have time to lay down again,  so I did.

I laid down, fully dressed and tossed the still warm covers back over me and i silently rejoiced. how wonderful it felt to have my head on my pillow, which feels like puffy clouds. how awesome it was to crawl into warm sheets, how lovely it felt to have my arm draped over one of the extra pillows,  how happy my feet were to be snuggling into the bottom mess of blankets, and how awesome the sheets felt on my bare feet

I closed my eyes, and just laid there, willing myself not to fall asleep, as I so easily could have, but the alarm was off, and I had to be at work. i smiled to myself repeatedly.  i burrowed deeper into the covers. I rejoiced that i dont have to work my second job tonight and greedily thought that if I wanted, i could come home and at 4:30 pm, be back here, in bed, until tomorrow.

reluctantly, I threw off the covers and sat up. put on some socks, ate breakfast, made lunch, and left for work.

The time I went back to bed, only amounted to 7 minutes. but so far, its been the best 7 minutes of my day.

the same....

Peaches and Nectarines are the same damn thing.

one is fuzzy, one is bald.

otherwise I can really tell no difference.

so when someone says, i dont like peaches, but i like nectarines...

now you will know why i look at them like they are just a bit more insane than I am.

they are the same thing.
