Day 2 Detox

Woke up full.  Literally.  I expected to wake up very hungry, as usual, but I think my stomach is already adjusting to smaller portions. Decided that I can't drag through the morning that way, so had black coffee.  NICE.  Feel like myself again.  Pathetic addiction!

My head feels much clearer.  Prayer comes quicker, so I can definately see the mind/body connection with this. While sitting with my coffee, I looked over at Trey.  After eating his cereal, he had cuddled up on the chair, facing away from me, and looked like he was contemplating, which was odd, because he is never quiet this long.  He continued this for another 20 minutes.  I was insanely curious to know what he was thinking, but didn't want to interrupt, so I went on reading.  At the end of 20 minutes, he came over to me and I said, "What were you thinking about, bud?" He replied, simply, without any hesitation, "gum."  Men!

Mid-morning I met Melissa, my detox support buddy, at the pool and then we meandered with the kids down to the beach to eat lunch.  She brought me a "shake on the go," and I felt less jealous of the kids' PBJ's than I did yesterday.  Didn't even want a chew on the way home, even though I remembered to bring them.  Drank tons o' water.

Dinner:  Turkey burgers on a bed of lettuce.  Sounds pretty darn good!

I will end with a quote from my favorite Phish blogger, Mr. Miner, who comments after each show, giving such insightful follow-up that I feel like I was there.  Here, he is talking about their last night at Berkely before heading to Telluride yesterday:  "Phish used their intricate communication to craft a deep trek into the band’s rejuvenated soul. Plain and simple, “Light” blossomed into the most impressive exploration we’ve seen since the band stepped back on stage in 2009. With a stunning journey into the heart of the unknown, the band proved their intention, beyond a shadow of a doubt, to confront new musical frontiers on a nightly basis."
