Day 27

I slept heavy last night, for seven hours, it took me a while to properly wake up at 7am to get ruby off to school with an egg muffin (gulp!). I think I was too arrogant yesterday with my "I figured out how to do it" comment. Treating myself to a Supermalt "health drink" and lime and soda drinks at work were probably a slightly sugary mistake. My thinking was that they would give me a boost for working but straight water would have done just as well. So that's the end of those drinks for me, I'll stick to the juice, miso, and lots of water for the last part of the fast, and the cap full of Floradix, keep it very simple. I am also leaving out the vitamin drink that I got from the health food shop because  it appears to have some suspicious ingredients and with the Floradix vitamins, and also because I don't have to travel or do any heavy work for a while, I don't think I need it.
I have acquired a new guitar, a beautiful  Martin D35 so I have been having a good time strumming it and sticking my nose in the sound hole and taking lungfuls of the smell of ceder from the internal edge bracing, my favourite smell and it is another smell that feels like sustenance, along with pinches of rosemary or lavender grabbed from bushes at the side of the pathways and gardens around the town. I think I like ceder so much because it is at once attractive a slightly repellent, as road tar is.
 I have to teach guitar today so hopefully my brain will work ok, it seems to be doing ok.
I'm only three days away from my original thirty day goal so I must keep going even though making roast potato, veg sausage, and baked beans for Ruby last night was making me want to end it all right now (I mean the fast!). It ain't easy.
