Had the tea last night. Nothing to report there. When the HyWy came home she said that she was surprised that I was as nervous as I was and that I didn't even seem this nervous during the wedding.
This morning I was up kind of early, because for some reason though I was tired I couldn't sleep. The first thing you are supposed to have in the morning is a quart of sea salt water. That wasn't too bad I thought. In fact it kind of reminded me of chicken noodle soup and not in that craving way, but just that was the level of saltiness. I have a slight headache and I'm a little bit hungry. I just made my first glass of lemonade. Who knew that maple syrup and lemons would taste good together. I'm not sure how much I'll like this at the end of ten days, but at this point it tastes pretty decent.
Later in the Day...
So I worked from home today, but I think that worked against me. When I was at home by myself I was more alone with my thoughts (and my stomach). I work through it until the HyWy came home. I'm not starving so much as I just have a mild continual hunger.
Another interesting result of this experience is I really have to pay attention to my body. Without going into the nitty gritty details I'll say that when my body says go to the bathroom it's not a time to hold back or wait.
General mood: lighthearted.
Energy level: average.
Evening...
We decided that we didn't want to spend the evening at home as we had spent most of the day at home and the time seemed to go by quicker when we were out. We went to the movies and missed the show that we wanted to see (7:30) so we settled for a later show (9:30). During the time we hung around the shopping center/bookstore it was ok. I had another two glasses of lemonade. Then the headache started settling in. I think it was a dehydration headache, but I'm not sure. I had a bottle of water during the movie, but the headache was very distracting. So far that was the hardest point. When we were coming home I was sleepy and still had the headache. I went straight to bed (without the tea).
General mood: slightly grumpy
Energy level: low
