The Periodically Popular "Lemon-Aid Cleanse"

8 oz water
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp maple syrup (Grade B is best!)
pinch of cayenne
----------------------
As we shopped this weekend for the ingredients, everyone here in San Diego ascertained what we were up to, which led to various commentaries and inquiries. I thought perhaps blogging about it, would encourage me to make a record of how it really feels.

Preparation. This week we got the box and proceeded to devour everything within it, in two days. We were very hungry and felt slightly underprepared. (Avocadoes provided the most calorific comfort!)

The worst thing about yesterday was the lack of coffee. I've drunk white tea since Sunday, and today we're on solely the mixture. We made three gallons of the stuff last night. We were up late, squeezin'. (We had our minds made up, so when we found out organic lemons were out of season, we decided to go ahead with conventional. . .bummer.)

Tastes pretty good. They say you should be full sail by the second day. (If so I'll add it to my PMS remedies, since very little seems to brighten the second day of my dark moon, which happens to coincide.)

At noon, I received a chat from my counterpart, who seemed to be pretty perky, especially when compared to me, but he mentioned being 'a little tired'. . .He reported having consumed half of the gallon in the last three and one-half hours.

Good, looks like he'll be sure to leave work on time!
