Raw Milk Fast...Fail.

I know that I announced our raw milk fast earlier this week, but it's been a rough start.  We ran out of milk and had the dairy's milk schedule wrong, so that pushed things back until Wednesday.  Then Aunt Flo and Uncle GI trouble showed up (they tend to come together) and the latter made keeping myself satisfied and hydrated difficult.  My husband forgot his thermos too, so all in all it's been a fail week.  We're going to start back up with it Sunday, with the hopes that starting on a weekend will help us get a better hold on it.  Saturday is super busy and involves a lot of running around, but Sunday we'll have a day where we can just get into the hang of drinking just milk, enjoy the warm weather, and work on building the second raised bed and a compost system.  I'm looking forward to it, especially right this minute because I made a bad choice for lunch (GF fish sticks) and I'm suffering from the "food funk".  Racing heart, dizzy, etc. as my body struggles to digest it.  I didn't have this trouble at all when I was just drinking milk.

We have still been limiting TV, not entirely but a definite reduction, and I'm still off of Facebook.  Finished the Divergent book series ::sobs:: and now need to find something else to read, maybe I'll finally crack open the books about backyard chickens, composting, etc. that I've amassed in recent months.  My daughter just finished school for the day, now it's time to re-pot our tomato seedlings!  I'll have to take special care with the Cherokee Purple, only a few seeds sprouted and those are the ones I'm looking forward to most.  The sun is out and she is begging to go outside and finish planting peas in the garden.  C'mon food funk, go away, I have too much I want to do today!
