Last night for dinner I had broccoli with hummus and a smoothie consisting of 50% frozen blueberries and 25% frozen strawberries and 25% frozen peaches mixed with rice milk and pureed in a 400 dollar vitamix (which seems to be essential to achieving the proper consistency.) I laid in bed and read a bit of Gormenghast and then despite having worked a night shift the night before and having slept (very well) till 4pm. I wonderfully, blissfully, momentously fell asleep a bit at arond 10pm, even with the light on as my wife read beside me. Then slept well till 4AM, which is plenty of sleep considering I had slept all day.

I had dreams even, but seem to have forgotten them...

How wonderful, how magical to sleep like that. Hopefully I'll never take it for granted. Love working one single night shift a week by the way, as it's less likely I'll take for granted that I'm not permanent night shift anymore.

All around wonderful. Feel so much better when I eat well. Sweeth tooth slowly disappearing as I immediately just don't feel as good. It seems I occasionally get a craving. Eat a bit of something bad, and immediately don't feel quite as good (still OK) and then instead take the bad food to work and give it away. (Brownies, cookies, cakes, etc.)

Knee also feeling better with going back down to 6.0 and now 6.1mph for the running.
