Please note that this isn't
fun. I have to run to the
bathroom regularly, my energy
is really low, and I'm a bit
in some sort of existential
crisis. I feel my body enjoy
the cleanse but it's quite
the process.
Yesterday went well. I did not use
any plant medecine. I actually
didn't do much. I slept until 11
I wrote, I folded part of the
tipi, that is now in my living
room. I cleaned up the house,
feed the fire and had a soup.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
- One large Butternut Squash
- Creme
- Butter
- Broth
- Salt, pepper
Keeping it super simple,
the butternut squash is
really good by itself.
Also during a cleanse
everything taste better,
you don't need much spice.
Bake the squash in the oven
for about 1 hour, cut in medium
piece (a medium squash would
be cute in 10 pieces.)
Cool and remove the skin.
Blend with the cream in
the blender.
Re-heat and add butter and
the broth until everything
mixes together.

Sleep is so important. For me
if I can sleep, I probably
should sleep. I trust my body
knows what it needs. I woke
up around 7am this morning,
went for a shower, went back
to bed until 12. I am over
24 hours of sleep for the
weekend, and I plan to get
to bed early tonight.
I am not really hungry, but
when I don't have enough water
I feel emotional. Then I drink
a bit of water, and I feel better.
I'm in a very sensitive state.
I feel this cleanse will
change some of my habits.
My eating habit has been
all over the place since
being single and I wasn't
eating too well. Nothing
bad or major, but really
random, finishing this or
that. There is bread, I
have to eat it until there
is no more. I bought too
many banana, I kind of have
to eat them if not they will
go bad. I freeze most of
what I cook because I make
too much... But with this
weekend, thing feels a bit
more balanced.
The first day, castor oil
had a very strong effect
on my digestive track. Now
being on day 4, it's quite
gentle. It still trigger
some movement, but it's
less intense. I know some
people uses oil on a daily
basis. I'd like to experiment
to see what would feel best.
I might have to go to the
store today. I am still debating.
I want to get more squash,
that's for sure. I might need
to get some frozen blueberries
too. With the energy I have
right now, I might not get
too far.
It's a surprisingly relaxing
process, although uncomfortable.
I wanted to stay home and
do nothing for a while. But
the summer was crazy, the
theater season was full on,
then there was wood to be
gathered, trees to be cut,
door to be fixed, water
heater to be fix, and finally
replaced, tipi to be closed
and brought up, and now,
nothing.
