Master Cleanse Day 3, and Flushing of the Salt Water Kind

I'm sitting here chugging my salt water and I feel like Dumbledore at the end of the The Half-Blood Prince. One health book I read recommends getting into a fetal position when you finish the salt water and frantically rubbing your abdomen. I probably don't hate drinking the salt water as much as the average person, but crikey I feel like I'm lost at sea. I might add this to my list of Ways To Keep An Insomniac Busy.

So the only way I was able to get away with doing the Master Cleanse in front of Mumsy was because one of her friends has done it. The Friend, however, only did it for three days and told Mum that you are only supposed to do it for 3 days. When I told Mum that on the official website, it says you should do around 10 days, she flipped. Of course I can't do ten days!! Friend said only three days, and if a piece of information came in from Friend and not Daughter, it must be true. If Daughter says it, obviously it's a total lie.

Kind of like the time I told my mother that the "low oil" light on her dashboard probably means she needs to put oil in the car. So I checked her car's manual, bought the right oil (we were on a road trip) and a funnel, and proceeded to pour the oil in under the bonnet. Mum flipped. What the heck was I doing?!? I'm not a mechanic! How do I know the oil goes in there?!?

Hmm, let's see - maybe because there's a little logo on the lid with a picture of an oil can.

Mum snatched the oil away from me and forbid me to touch the car. The next day, when she took the car to a mechanic near where we were staying, Mechanic said: "The car needs oil. You've got some there in the back seat. Why didn't you put in the car?" And he then poured the oil in, where I had been pouring it in the previous day. And Mum says, "Oh, it goes in there?"

I just kept my mouth shut. There's no point in arguing.

Today was Day 3 of the Master Cleanse, so if I continue tomorrow I shall have to be super stealth. I feel much better than the first day, but I also feel like my teeth are going to rot out of my head. Shall see how I feel in the morning... Would like to make it to 5 days, but I'll be happy with three.

Sleep tight, my little bed bugs! :-*

Master Cleanse Day 2

Day 2 of the Master Cleanse and things are going well. I had put on a few lbs over the weekend from my epic salmon binge Sunday evening, but now I'm back down to 101. Again. Last night was tough. I could not get to sleep for ages, and then when I finally did I was just hovering somewhere between deep sleep and waking. I kept having really vivid dreams that I was binging on junk food - brownies, peanut butter, oreos, etc., etc. Woke up in a panic every time.

I don't think I'll be able to do this for another 8 days. If I've lost anything by tomorrow, I'll try and keep it up until Friday and then reassess my physical condition. The lemon-maple thing is yummy, but drinking it all day is starting to make me feel sick. I've never had much of a sweet tooth, and I hate fruit (it hates me, too - makes me ill). Why couldn't I eat nothing but meat for 10 days and lose weight that way?!? God is cruel. There's also a definite increase in my anxiety level since yesterday. We'll see how it goes...

I think I've given up on Pretty Little Liars. I read all the books and they were awesome, but the show is just straying way too far from the books and I feel like I can't keep up. Plus, none of the girls look like they're supposed to. And in the books, they're not even friends! >:O I totally don't see how "A" can be who she is in the books. I'm making my sister give me a run-down after every new episode to see if they can pull it off.

Writer's block has set in yet again. I went book shopping to try and get inspired. That's right - my unemployed as$ went to Barnes & Noble and purchased $75 worth of books on my mastercard! I bought Grip of the Shadow Plague and The Candy Shop War by Brandon Mull, Among the Betrayed and Among the Barons by Margaret Haddix, The Old Willis Place and Deep Dark and Dangerous by Mary Hahn, Plato's Republic, and a kit to paint watercolor fairies and mermaids.

So hopefully, I shall spend tomorrow reading and then be waist-deep in fantastical inspiration.
