Juice Cleanse, Day 2: observations

It's around noon on Day 2 of my three-day Urban Remedy juice cleanse, and I'm just drinking Juice 2 of the daily six, the juice called Boost. Which I really hope it will deliver because I am feeling w-e-i-r-d.

And by weird, I mean fuzzy and unable to do jack-shit.

I woke up with a headache this morning, which the helpful daily email from UR referenced as a possibility on this day.  I drank my hot water with lemon, walked 3 miles with Burnsy, came home and downed Juice 1. In the interest of telling the whole truth, yes, I did have a cup of coffee in there between hot water with lemon and the walk. My head felt better instantly. Otherwise, I am telling you: I'd be on bed-rest for reals, just trying to survive the withdrawal migraine. 

As it is, even with the one cup of coffee, I was just outside gardening, pulling weeds and other non-strenuous, nothing-activities, and realized I needed to get myself to the couch stat.

Note to self: when cleansing, do not try to Get Shit Done.  

The two activities -- cleansing and being my usual busy-bee self: incompatible.  So I've given up and am just drinking my drinks and giving myself the liberty of mostly immobility all the live-long.

Of course, I am also waiting for some kind of news from my brother-in-law about my sister. Two days ago the hospice nurses and neuro-oncologist said we were counting in hours, no more than a day. Now that it's been two days, I am kind of on pins and needles waiting for a response to my text. And while being outside and being busy would be a great way to get through that particular anxiety, I'm having to come up with other ways to keep myself occupied while I wait.

Being still, doing nothing, is probably exactly what I need.

So today may be just the day to stream the Price and Prejudice with Colin Firth, to revel in some beautiful language and period costumes, all while waiting my way through this day in two-hour blocks, juice bottle to juice bottle.

I'm still glad I'm doing it. I know I'll benefit, and today I'm learning to enjoy just looking at the beauty of the day instead of being so active inside it. That's different for me, but still beautiful just the same.
