Oh God! Today is day four of my juice fast. I stopped drinking coffee and eating food and I bought a juicer from walmart.com and Wow! I feel like shit! I decided to do this because I've been feeling so exhausted and sluggish and generally icky and tired and also because I need a break from everything. I told somebody recently that it's like I've gone on a vacation only I'm at home and it's not really any fun. By some amazing coincidence, Billy Cotter is totally depressed and wrecked right now so we are quite the pair! I don't think anyone has left the house in two days. Still, I am hopeful that I will have all kinds of transformational juice magic happen and when the fast is over I will glow and levitate and feel fantastic all the days of my life! The thing that is blowing my mind today is that I am so incredibly hungry. Funny that is such a shocking surprise. I guess I thought it wouldn't be so bad to not eat anything except expressed carrots and apples and greens for days. I thought it would be like having lots of cheeseburgers and fries but in liquid form and healthier. I would write more but I have a finite attention span today and I can't bear to waste it on writing when there is so much computer solitaire time left before I curl up in the fetal position and beg God to turn the air into candy.
