Science Experiement Continues

Today is my second day on the Master Cleanse. So far so good. Slight headache this morning and evening. But the flush worked this morning. If I keep drinking the stuff, I don't get hungry. We will see how it goes tomorrow - I am teaching 3 classes (there is a break between 2 of them). I have let the dating spree lapse, so perhaps I will call some of the people I need to call during my break tomorrow. My ph balance was good both yesterday and today.

Overcast sky

This morning is the first morning in a long time that I am waking up ready to go, ready to take on my day. I am looking for what needs to get done and not lagging (although I am blogging). I am so very excited it is overcast and that it rained last night. I am glad sunny southern california has taken a break from being sunny. And I don't know if they are correlated (it probably has more to do with my health), but the sky is overcast and my outlook isn't. (maybe the rain washed away the gloom).

science experiment

My anatomy teacher talked to our class about looking at our health as our own private science experiment. Checking our Ph balance to see what helps it, changes it, seeing how cleanses effect our general health. We have been exposed to a lot of ideas of how to make ones health better. I don't feel that I can recommend things to clients unless I have seen how they help.
So, I am starting the experiment after Thanksgiving. I am starting with the Master Cleanse (the one with lemon and cayanne and maple syrup) on Friday. I plan on doing for 5 day minimum to 10 days max. Then I was to do a colon cleanse and a gall bladder cleanse. But I will have to figure out the timing with the holidays. The gall bladder cleanse is 4-6 weeks and includes a vegan diet. But I have to figure out what works the best for me.
What I would like to see in my body, is for my joints to let less creaky, my energy level to be better, and the scar tissue in my body to heal.
Getting my liver and gall bladder to work better (perhaps optimally) should help all of this.

The Moon Is Half Full

I saw the moon tonight as I was driving home. It was half full. It looked like a cup keeping its contents from falling upon the earth. Life feels that way. Just half full. And yet it is hard to keep its contents from spilling out and making a mess.

The dating spree is still on. And I actually had a good date tonite. He is closer but he doesn't feel like he is it. He is interesting and seems both more liberal and more green than I (which is something I want). But he made it clear about a half an hour in that on these first dates, eharmony doesn't think of them as "dates" and they say we each should pay his or her own share. Really? And while charming and good looking from the front, he was wearing a shirt only someone fit should wear and while he isn't unfit, not a great choice. I don't think I am that picky, and I know I sound picky right now, but... why can't I have everything?

Right now I just want someone who will hold me and tell me it will all be okay. I don't want to settle. (right now my sister and my best friend are picturing some of my previous beaus and thinking huh.???)

Wheeeee! It's a Dating Spree!

So far I have gone out with 4 different men. This online thing is very time intensive. This last week I have slacked off the actual on line bit. Granted the dates are taking up time. None of the dates have been bad, they have all been enjoyable. I just haven't been bowled over by anyone and I don't know if I "should" be bowled over (being knocked down doesn't sound fun).

Things I have discovered about myself...
There is a part of me that wants to be swept of my feet (granted, if that were to happen, I don't know if I would trust it - I would want to...)
I don't like it when men lie about their height.
I am disconcerted when my apartment would fit into their kitchen (not that I don't deserve a huge kitchen), but it is odd.
I don't want to invite anyone into my apartment at this point - partly because it is my space and partly because I haven't told them what kind of dance I teach (I dance around that fact).
I have to remind myself that men are tender souls and probably more insecure than I and yet, I don't have to be "nice" or accommodating (don't worry, I am always polite and friendly).
I am enjoying the process.
I need fun and I need financially responsible.
And I need at least taller than me, preferably taller than me in heels, but short by itself won't knock him out of the running.
I like it much better if they don't try to make out on the first date.

That is the spree at this point. I have another date Sunday with the man I went out with last night (which was fun and comfortable) and I am in phone communication with one other man. I suppose I'd better get back on line.

Frankie and her fabulous life

Text is coming tomorrow. (and probably more pictures).
