A Different Feeling - Thursday, March 4, 2010

Every Thursday our store receives the largest shipment of the week from our main supplier. By just after 6 a.m., the aisles are loaded with boxes of product piled high. The staff then spends the next six to eight hours opening those boxes and re-stocking the shelves as quickly as possible before the store becomes busy with customers. In short, I would know it was Thursday upon walking through the front door even if I did not have access to a calendar. For the last couple of months, I have also known it was Thursday by the intensity of the aches and pains I feel when I get out of bed as they are always the most severe on that day. If you will recall, in an earlier blog I talked about the cycle of detoxing that has evolved recently. Due to that cycle, around the end of the week, which happens to be Thursday, I feel achy. Well, today I managed to avoid that all over achy feeling. I believe it was because I increased the liver cleansing to twice a week per the naturopath’s approval. So, instead of feeling like a truck ran over me, I was actually able to complete one of the busiest days of the week and still remain standing. Thank God for this as it is quite a challenge to keep a hectic pace when your body is not cooperating. By the way, I see the naturopath on Tuesday. Let’s see what is next on the horizon in terms of recovery.
