Cleansing is Hell
Okay, Samhain two years ago, I did a Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse. Totally rocked. Upped my energy level, and I believe it was one of the things that helped me NOT get SADD so bad as I usually do. Anyway, this is what I did:

Be careful looking at that if you've got a weak stomach and just ate. So I've been feeling sluggish, having skin issues, hair issues, and thought, it's time for another cleanse. Oh holy shit this kicked my ass. The first dose of the epsom salts in apple juice took effect in like 45 minutes!! It was like a bomb went off in my colon and it became a firehose! My god there were many repeat trips to the bathroom - too many to count or keep track of. So I take the second dose and more of the same ensues. Now, this isn't supposed to do this so early, in fact, not until after the last dose and then the lemon juice and olive oil mix. The actually bombardment is not supposed to happen until the next morning.
I think I ate too late. It was right at 2pm...so I waited to start the dosages, but soon after the lemon juice and olive oil dosage...well, I finally said fuck it with the nausea and the screaming demon headache and stuck my finger down my throat and up came the lunch from that afternoon. WTF? Shouldn't it be Olive oil and lemon juice? Apple juice? Nope, chinese. This did not make sense.
Apparently my body is operating backwards or some shit like that. Anyway, today, I'm limp as a fucking dishrag. NO energy and dehydrated to boot. What the hell happened?
So much for MY 4th of July. It started with a bang and ended with a whimper.
Oh well, the next three day holiday weekend is Labor Day. I will try again then. But I have to find something to put the epsom salts in that I can stomach without gagging and being nauseous. Believe me, Lemon Juice and Olive Oil mixed is a fucking picnic compared to epsom salts with apple juice, let me just reassure you of that. That stuff (it's a well known saline laxative) is bloody vicious and not to be toyed with.
While I was suffering last night, we watched The Bucket List. Great movie. Two of my favorite actors and a great story. Only thing was the theme music- John Mayer's "Say"....and okay, so it fit the premise...but the song they should have used was Tim McGraw's "Live LIke You Were Dying". Hell it even mentions skydiving and mountain climbing, which figure prominently in the movie. I wonder if the writer even knows about that song. I wasn't in a mood to be happy about anything, so I guess he can have whatever damn song he wants for his movie. I wholeheartedly agree with one of Jack Nicholson's lines though, "Never trust a fart!" Write that down as you 'approach decrepitude' as Sean Hayes says in the movie. Who is Sean Hayes? That guy (the other one) from Will and Grace. He was a nerdy assistant in this one.
Anyway, today, I drag assed around. Yesterday, before the hell began, we installed a new light fixture in the dining/herb room. It's beautiful, and just what I wanted for the room. Too bad we have some freak dead short in the wiring somewhere. When it goes, the lights on the back porch, the kitchen, the dining room, the far dining room wall and the ceiling light in the living room do not work. How can I spin if I can't fucking see?
Grumble grumble.....
We later went over to
ceffyl 's house and installed a light fixture for her and scored a ceiling fan for our bedroom. We also went around to Big Lots and Home Depot for some odds and ends. Tomorrow, should my strength return, I have promised to help her with her fish pond. Draining that sucker isn't a job for one person by themselves.
Here ends the saga of the Liver Gall Bladder Cleanse.
