Winter is coming…

2012-10-15 Or as I like to call it, not summer; this bit of California never really gets cold. This morning was slightly foggy and there was an autumnal feel in the air, even if it was still 14 C. It got up to 26 C on Saturday, and while I’m sure this made most people happy, it just made me yearn for rain. We haven’t had proper rain yet, just a few light showers. I miss the rain. Most ex-pats think I’m crazy, but I love variety in weather…

… Yay! It’s meant to rain tomorrow and tuesday! Again, I think I will be the only person that’s really excited about this. I think it will even cheer me up.

My afternoon shake

The “Green Goddess”, not so celestial actually

This is a picture of my afternoon shake right after I had retrieved my phone from the cup. What is most telling is that not only did it not sink, it left an indentation.

Now do you see why the Grump Cat is grumpy?!

So here I go again…

Lead into a song maybe? You got to love the 80’s for music…

So blogetery ate my blog. It was a new blog too. I was actually quite enjoying ranting about how miserable my 21 day cleanse was making me. And let me tell you, it was making me very miserable! I’m on day 6 now, and having been allowed 4oz of chicken and 2 eggs a day, I am feeling better than I was.

Days 1 – 5 consisted of vegetables, more vegetables and shakes. The shakes also contain vegetables. Getting the picture? I was starving, had a migraine and was very, very grumpy. By day 4, I felt so awful I took the day off work. By yesterday morning, I was desperate and went to my acupuncturist for advise. Yesterday evening, I was eating rice, chicken with home made red sauce. Real food! I’m not saying vegetables aren’t real food. They just don’t taste good; they need to balanced with proteins at the very least.

So why am I subjecting myself to this hell? I have MS. I was only diagnosed recently after many years and many doctors and now I know what’s wrong with me, I want to do what I can to make myself better. Yeah, this isn’t fun, but having MS is even less fun.

Lets hope day 6 is the start of things to come and not days 1 to 5. If not TheGrumpyCat will be very grumpy indeed.
