It’s been a hectic and tough four weeks. The time up to and after my Dads passing have been a blur

Oddly, there’s one thing that happened in that time that  got crowded out of my writing here. That was that Diane  and I did something called  the Colorado Cleanse with several of our friends. The cleanse was intended to reboot your digestive track in some way. It involved a about a week of heating simple foods wiht no wheat, dairy, sugar or oil  alcohol or caffeine. as, then a solid week of eating only something called ‘kitchadee’ (basmati rice and mung dahl) for every mela of the day, then another 4 days of simplefood, still with no dairy, wheat, sugar or oi.. I sy no oil.. other than a quarter cup of Ghee (rendered butter) every morning. All along we took a ton of herbs to help digestion

At first i went along just for fun.. with all the stuff in my life that I couldn’t control. it was nice to control something.. then I really go in to it. I found that I enjoyed being hungry..    The kitchadee for three meals a day was a trail.. by the end of that I was craving anything else..  I doused it with hot sauce to make it edible.  but we stuck with it …

The funny thing is.. it really worked. I had no expectations on this.. but it really did make me feel great.. the constant low level indigestion i often have disappeared  completely..   i slept better and felt more energized.. (and still do)

The funny thing is.. when I was driving home last night eating junk food and drinking soda and not sleeping.. it all came back.. which reminded me  what ‘normal’ felt like..

I’m gonna try to keep some of those eating patterns goign for awhile to see how it goes…

that said.. I hope I never see another mung bean in my life

nite all, nite sam
