Fool's Journey - Ninth Day
Short night, but I don't feel it... much. While fasting, sleep is less an issue as the body doesn't waste most if its energy in chemical transformation of food, so it needs less rest, though siesta or lounging is recommanded. Well, what have I done since June if not lounging?
Awfully cold though, despite husband putting the heat on. Discovered this morning that Number Three has even discarted his bedclothes for the night... while I went to bed with a polar jumper, and three thick woolen blankets. Makes me remember why I used to make longer fasts during summer and not in winter.
Had an awful heartburn around 1:00. My stomach hasn't realized yet that no food is coming and is still releasing fluids and acids at meal times.
Yet, this morning most of the bitter taste is gone. Surprising.
