The Joys of Feasting & Fasting - Day 6

The morning did NOT start well.  Nothing to do with my sleep or stomach, but with my teeth.

Three hours in the dental chair.

Three hours!  For three cavities.

Needless to say, I didn't juice before my appointment to get three cavities filled today, as sometimes Novocaine makes me queasy.  But by noon, my stomach desperately wanted something in it besides salvia and water.  I've never had to have leg-stretch breaks during dental procedures before.  However, my stomach helped distract me from the nerves that would not numb and the last tooth was a labor-style breathing, clenched hands in my lap with nails making my palms bleed, and tears leaking from under my eyelids.  It isn't my dentist - I simply don't numb well, be it my teeth or childbirth.  They kept me as numb as they could!

I survived though, and came home to take pain meds, a nap, and then, make something for lunch.  Guess what I had?  :-)  That's right - I enjoyed another Mexican avocado soup/smoothie.  Had one for supper tonight, too.  I'm wondering if it is the avocado I'm craving or the complex seasoning?

As I'm typing this, I just realized I haven't had any fruit-based juices today, since I normally do those for breakfast, unless pumpkin is counted as a fruit.  I make a dairy-free pumpkin soup today that I really enjoyed, but it would have been better if I could have added a bit of cumin.  Maybe with tomorrow's leftovers for lunch.  And tomorrow - seven days!  I will weigh myself in the morning - though I'm not doing this for weight-loss, I'd still like to keep an eye on.

Arrivederci and happy drinking!
