Day 5...caving in...

ok, i'm only drinking shakes and eating those cooked, unflavored vegetables (boy, salt is the only saving grace on those) and i feel SO energy-less, it's unbelievable. after i drink the shake--i have about 1 hr's worth of energy--during which i'm madly cleaning up my cluttered castle for a new year's eve party tomorrow (yes, i'm a masochist, too).

then i collapse, lie down on the bed for a "minute"--and all of a sudden, it's 3 hrs later.

now--this is FINE while i'm at home--but i go back to work tuesday--and there is NO NAPTIME there (although i've put that in the suggestion box many times--"more nap breaks, and bunkbeds in a dark room").

so--i conclude that the pre-op shake diet is for stay-at-home types, or people who control their own destiny.

now--i DID do this before my wedding--a million yrs ago (well, 18) and i managed to do it AND go to work--looking back--i don't see how i did it.

oh well--time marches on. my 1 hr's energy is rapidly coming to a close. i wrapped 2 xmas gifts (yes, i KNOW xmas is over) and put them in boxes to MAIL (who wants to go to the post office BEFORE xmas??) and there are just a few more of THOSE to get off the dining room table.

did i mention that PARTY i have to get ready for tomorrow?

why oh why did i agree to this? (you may be wondering)--well, family pressure. enough said.

back to work
