Eating and Leaving
So yesterday I broke my cleanse, after having done it for 2 1/2 days, with a bowl of Annie's brown rice, black eyed peas, and veggies. It was yummy. I'm leaving tomorrow, early morning, to go to Louisiana to see my grandpa and I figured I can't really do a cleanse (at least not a liquid one) while I'm worried sick about everything. I'm nervous about traveling, nervous about seeing my grandpa, and in general nervous about the whole situation. I don't really like traveling on planes but I know that they get me there the fastest, and right now that's all that matters.
My dad wanted me to fly directly into Lafayette, which is 30 minutes from where I grew up; I usually fly into New Orleans and then it takes me a 2 1/2 hour drive to get home. So I can understand why he wanted me to fly into Lafayette but it's also way, way, way more expensive. So my dad was like, don't worry about that, I'll give you most of the money. So in the end I'll just have to pay 230 to go home, which is a far cry from the 930 that the ticket cost. This is just for four days! I'm bummed that I can't go for longer but this little thing called responsibility gets in the way. So, I'll leave at 6:15 am on Easter, get in at 11 am there. Then, to come back, I leave at 6 am on Thursday, arriving at 10:30 am here. I do have a lay over in Memphis on the trip there and back, which sucks, but I'm putting it out there that everything with go smoothly. Bleh, I really hate air travel and all that it entails.
But on the upside, I'm going to see my family tomorrow! I haven't seen them since August so it'll with be really nice to see them. Plus, it's Easter so I'm sure people will we extra happy because I haven't spent Easter with my family in about 7 years. I did a meditation last night to send positive, healing energy to my grandpa. I hope that my dad tells him that I'm coming tomorrow. I just really want to see him.
As far as my cleanse goes, I'm still eschewing caffeine, dairy, sugar, meat, and refined foods so that I can keep this thing going. I forgot to take my herbal cleanse pills last night and this morning but there's been a lot on my mind. However, I got up and bounced on my mini trampoline for 20 minutes this morning, so I'm feeling good. I figure this is good enough for right now since I've got some heavy stuff on my mind.
I appreciate all the kind words that I've received from everyone who has read my journal. Your thoughts are making a difference, because I'm not a total basket case right now :) I feel very loved because of it and I will pass that love on to my grandpa and the rest of my family. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to/want to be on the internet so just in case I don't post anything in the next four days, just know I will be back and I will tell all! :)
Again, thanks.
