9! Which is one less than 10!!!

Last full day of fasting!

Bartley is, of all things, at Six Flags with his co-workers. First off, who does that, and secondly, he's going to pass out on a roller coaster. Which could be kinda cool. or extremely dangerous, depending on how you look at it.

I am just at regular ol' work, chugging my lemonade and dreaming of this weekend's gastronomical delights (solidity-- O, glee!).

Mister B's tongue is losing the white coating, so I guess the timing is good. Mine still never picked it up at his level, but he says he ran into a friend of his who has been vegetarian/vegan for a number of years and did the fast, and she also didn't get the film. Awesome, I'm non-toxic. But then why am I not eating?

Quite a few people have expressed deep concern for my health. I am ok! Sure, I'm a weakling now, and hungry, but I couldn't imagine I've done any permanent damage. All the vitamins will rush my bloodstream this weekend as I re-discover beets, spinach, quinoa, beans, broccolini sauteed in garlic, olive oil and pine nuts.. ok, I'm getting a little ahead of myself. Food! Soon!
