Happy Leap Year!

Another birthday for my poor father who turned only 17 today. All his children have had more birthdays than him. We were 14 at the same time! We celebrated his birthday tonight at my parents home because he was sick. We had planned to go out for a nice meal and I am glad we didn't go because I would have been asking for a bowl to put my 'soup' in. 

It was a gorgeous day with warmer weather and plenty of sun. I got a lot done and it felt great. I had been feeling bad the last couple of days and realized it was time for an enema. Still feels funny to talk about that. Anyway, I did a coffee one early this morning which kept me going strong all day. I highly suggest them for when you have a lot to get done in one day. You won't lose your drive. I wasn't ever really hungry either so I had to force my juices down a few times. I did feel hungry, however, seeing the three flavored raw ice cream that I made for my dad. He hates cake so I made him what he likes only my style. He loved it. I wanted to love it as I forced back my savory nightly tomatoey green drink. I came home and desired sweetness. I made an apple/strawberry/orange/carrot juice. It was superb. I almost stuck it in the ice cream maker and wondered if it was legal to freeze my juices. Does freezing kill the goodness? I would so love some sorbet. I am going to have to find this out. 

Only one week left of juice. I was really excited for solids again but I had such a good day and was mostly not bothered by being juice only so I am nervous to stop. I feel like I could go longer now. I think when I get back from Italy I will try to get on juice for a little while. I wanted to finish out this feast at 92 days but it doesn't really work with ocean crossing air travel. We'll see how I feel when I get back. I will definitely be a monday and morning juicer. I'm just a bit afraid of the food issues I have had in the past. Luckily I have a friend to talk to for support and this blog, in hopes that people read it! My friend and I are going to hold each other up for this transition back into solids. She may be starting her own blog shortly as well.

Well, a happy leap year to all!, especially my father!
