Day Twenty-One

Today was alright... as far as the fasting went anyway. Hearing about the shooting first thing when I got up kinda of threw me a little. It's hard to imagine someone doing that to anyone, much less kids. But, it happens. Not to be devil's advocate, and not to cheapen the fact that 27 lives were taken today for no reason, but how many people starve and die in this country on a daily basis? Those numbers are sad. I just wish people would get as worked up on a regular basis about that as much as they do about 27 people dying in a shooting.

Not to confuse anyone; my heart does go out for these people, their families, and their loss. I really hope something is done to stop this kind of thing from happening in 'safe places'. It's becoming too frequent.

Now back to your regularly scheduled juice fast update.

I have no idea whether Gary is doing better or not. Mostly because he just won't give me details. It feels like I'm trying to pull the tusks off a damned elephant. It's a annoying! It doesn't even really piss me off, it's just frustrating. How do doctors deal with patients who won't tell them what's wrong? WTF?! UGH.

-cough-

Anyway, fast was alright tonight. I thought it would have been bad this evening because we went to the movies. But, I did good. Got myself a bottled water and enjoyed The Hobbit. Which, by the by, was awesome. I dooooooo feel like it was a huge set up for the next two, but it was packed with action--that made it double awesome. (Italics are fun, by the way.)

So, it was actually and easy day for me for the fast. No cravings. I've also been drinking green tea with a little sugar. And not to be all Mickey Dee's, but, I'm loving it! Green tea is so good for your kidneys and flushing crap out of your body. And there have been some thoughts and studies that link it with being a cancer killer. I figure, holistic aside, it's good and what have I got to lose--right?

Anyway, thanks for reading my rambling. Nine days left! >D Wish me luck!
