day 26

sipping my last juice as i blog (honestly, it's been hard to get just to 2 1/2 today!), oy today's been a day! awoke this morning feeling really dehydrated, quite terrible not to have had better water chez moi! made an emergency trip to weaver street, where i procured an obscene amount of alkaline, spring and mineral waters. topped it off with some nice produce and oooooh yeah! the bank account has been emptied! look forward to monday, when i may produce and supplement myself to my heart's content! yessss! i also hope to see my fam on monday -- will be choice! other post payday plans? have stewart and kristen over -- i want them to try bee pollen and hemp seed oil (stew has quite the scholarly interest in the hemp plant and writings about it from the middle ages to the present. he's quite interested in all plants and their nutritive/other properties. he and gaya should really talk it out, i think. he and i have plans for nature walks, plant discussions, even some exercise ensemble!). but mainly i want to make them some juice. i'm thinking of making a cucumber and watermelon one, then have them try some green too. it'll be really nice to make juice for someone, reminiscent of gaya juicing. i put love in my juices for others, whoever they are, and it'll be cool to introduce stew and kristen to it. kristen told me they've been looking on craigslist for a blender, just to make juices. awwwww. last exciting plan for payday? rawfoodfest tickets are ours!

spent the day chez moi, some grading, little cleaning, sleeping in. i talked to my mom and wes briefly. i was invited to a lovely july 4th celebration at my friend kinitra's -- but i knew there would be food for 50 (there was), including ribs, hot dogs, burgers, mac n cheez, roasted corn (mmmm, corn) and brownies (there were), and all of kinitra's family who would be wondering what the hell i was doing drinking green juice out of a mason jar! i had plans to swim tonight but it uh started to rain. so cale, manhal and i played pinochle. it was quite nice, cale was acting a fool , but swimming would have been nice! tried to get a little exercise in, did some yoga stretches and some cute crunches and girl push ups instead!

sooooo the green juices are kind of hard to get down these days. i feel better after i drink them, but honestly they're not so appealing to me. que triste. what to do?

2 1/2 qts of juice today: cuc, spin, celery, kale, watercress, jalepeno, ginger, lemon
