Today has probably been the most consistent day so far in terms of how my energy level is. I think my body has had enough time to adapt to the situation. That being said I think the hardest time of each day is right around lunch. I work in a small architecture firm and everyone buys lunch and brings it back to work. All the smells floating around are at times a bit trying. However, I will say Roberta, my boss, was so kind as to bring me in lunch yesterday -- a single meyer lemon she had got from a job site. Funny? Most certainly.

As for the rest of my energy, the late nights I have had the last couple nights will soon take their toll if I don't get some quality sleep this weekend. As Tony was referring to as well, we are kinda tied to the lemonade drink. It really is true that if we are hungry or low energy, one sip of the drink removes all of it. However, if you are too far away from the drink for too long your body starts getting weak, and my extremeties have started getting a little cold/light. I am sure I was quite the site at the concert, standing outside while everyone else is smoking chugging what I am sure looked like a cocktail and straight vodka, but was in fact the lemonade drink and water.

As for the senna leaf tea we drink at night, it is really quite yummy. It seems senna leaf is a natural laxative and this particular tea company has a sense of humor and called their tea "Smooth Move". Catchy and accurate. Tonight, though, is when I feast...feast on the other "Smooth Move" flavor - "Chocolate Smooth Move". Ain't nothing like a little variety.

Medium-length natural laxative sidenote: Growing up my mom would only buy foods which had zero sugar in them. For me as a little kid you can only imagine this was torture. For a good 5 years in there (probably from 6th grade to 11th grade) I was a little obsessed with cereal. Initially my mom would only buy 2 types of cereal: Uncle Sam's and Grape Nuts. The thing is, though, that I think these are cereals for the elderly because in the past (they have since widely rectified this marketing snafu) Uncle Sam's was plastered with "With Flaxseed, A Natural Laxative!" Now this can't be appealing to a large demographic, and especially a 13-year old kid. However, in all openness I will say that now 2 of my favorite cereals happen to be...yep, you guessed it: Uncle Sam's and Grape Nuts. Nature vs. nurture my ass!

Well, happy poops around!
