1/10

The worst is over.


Remind me later, when I may not be in agreement, that I have already made that declaration. In actuality, I woke up feeling great, made my juice, sprinted for the bus, and hit the Zumba class in Park Slope. Then I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, which I never do, and realized why I never walk over the Brooklyn Bridge. Tourists suck.


By the time I got to the other side, having gotten a call from work that made me even more agitated, I was ready to take a bite out of someone. I was having such a great, productive morning; all destroyed by so many sheep masquerading as humans. (To be fair, I honestly believe that these creatures would have pissed me off just as much if I weren't on the juice feast, but it was as though they were going out of their way to test me.) So, my first stop in Manhattan was for juice.


I popped into a Starbucks, knowing they sell Naked Green Machine juice. I picked one up, popped into an easy chair, sipped and unwound. Within a few seconds, I was feeling a sense of calm return. When I had sat for what I guess to be half an hour, I reluctantly went to my office to take care of the chore, and yes, since I was there, and had already mentioned that I was feeling guilty, I cleaned the fish condo, too.


The trek back to Brooklyn would not be an easy one since all of the trains in my neighborhood aren't running this weekend. That meant at least 2 trains & a bus or another 5.5 miles of walking. In either case, I decided I'd better juice up again. This time hitting Jamba hoping for wheatgrass, but alas, there was none.


I really do feel like I am over a hurdle. The wind may not be at my back, but the whole notion of going another 36 days doesn't seem so terrible. Actually, that's not 100% accurate. The number "36" seems ridiculous! It's a month and the better part of a week which is a very long time. So we'll say 1/10 complete. Yes, 1/10 down, 9/10 to go . . .
