Day Four - Remember to Eat

I awake very tired. I have to stay put for a while longer despite my best intentions for an early rise. Feel hammered and I have had no alcohol to drink. Unwisely skip breakfast but eat fish and raw veg for lunch. Vow not to make a habit of skipping meals. I eat meat, potato and cabbage grandma style for dinner. The cravings are manageable today. On this day I  miss most not having drinks with flavours like fruit juices or cordials although I don't regularly buy these things. Maybe its just the heat, but at the end of it all water is the matrix of life and what we need the most. However right now all drinks feel a little mild and dull. Summertime seems to support my de-tox month as you can eat light but it does mean no cyder in the pub garden and no ice lollies down the park with my neice. But it is worth it I know in the long run. Snacking is also a bit limited to nuts and houmous until I get my creative thinking hat on more firmly. Good excuse not to snack! I hear you say. I guess this month tells me as much about how I eat as what I eat, and snack culture is encouraged in this country. People stroll along crunching crispsat bus stops, chewing pasties on the pavements and slugging cans on the hoof. It's normal. So I am not alone.
I need to sleep again for a bit late afternoon. I remind myself that I am making an environment the parasite won't like so it leaves. I've been trying to visualise my parasites. On day one they appeared strangely as party creatures all wearing straw hats and dancing to the lambada. On day two they were definitely still partying, this time in beach wear to the tune of Copa Cobana. I think they are happy to be acknowledged. Yesterday they felt sluggish and gloopy. Maybe its the weather. Today I am not aware what they are doing. Maybe sleeping off their hangovers. Anyway, before you think I have totally lost it I am off home to bed and not via the late night garage.....
