On Monday I started a 4 week nutritional/physical detox. It's a mix of dietary changes and physical activity/stimulation.
I can't eat dairy, eggs, meat, wheat, or anything refined. So I'm eating a ton of veggies (lots of stuff we grew in our garden), fish, nuts and such. It is kind of cool, but I think I'm going to start to miss my sugar and meat and bread and such. It'll be especially tough with Thanksgiving right in the middle, but.../shrug
I think it'll be good for me. Maybe it'll help me get sick less often. I'm tired of getting sick all the time, and apparently something like this will help my immune system. I think it will also help me make some changes with the way I eat, though with a baby coming in 3 weeks things are about to get topsy turvy.
What I've noticed so far is an increase in bathroom visits, and a weird feeling in my stomach. I'm full, but my head doesn't think that a stomach full of veggies constitutes "full". We'll see how it goes though, I'm excited to see some changes, and the thought of cleaning out my system makes me happy.

A Clean House = A Happy Christopher
I love when my house is clean. It makes me happy. It reduces anxiety and tension. It is just plain wonderful.
Once I get into cleaning mode, I just get going and things start getting clean, it is great. The problem is that it takes a lot of effort to get into cleaning mode, as I generally don't enjoy it (though for some reason once I start cleaning, I enjoy it).
Yesterday we did laundry, cleaned up the kitchen and did dishes, swept all of the floors, vacuumed (why does that word have a double-u?) all of the rugs (including the stairs with our super awesome stair attachment for our super awesome Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner), cleaned the bathroom, and washed the kitchen floor (on hands and knees with a brush and rag NOT with a mop. a floor will never get as clean with a mop or sponge on the end of a stick as it will if you get down there and scrub). It was great. I love looking around and shit is in it's place, there isn't some dried grossness stuck to the floor, there are no dirty dishes sitting on the counter, and no dust in the corners. There is no fuzz stuck in the rug, no pee splatter in the bathroom, no smudges on the mirrors, and no water marks on the taps.
I don't know why I don't clean more often. It doesn't make any sense.
