Prep Day

Today I spent getting ready to travel to the location where I will fast. I decided to prepare a few foods from my garden so as not to completely loose what is left. I made some sauerkraut last night and pickled some beets today. I feel in such good spirits that the cancer thing is only in the back of my thinking.

I also ate a few things that I wanted and to keep a bit of strength for the packing/trip/unpacking. I had an egg sandwich open face with avocados, tomatoes and sprouts. Simple, but so nice! And then mostly water save for some pasteurized carrot juice that Spring brought home.

The building that I understand we will be staying in is barely furnished. It has a toilet and I think a sink. So we decided to take enough to be comfortable. This means our queen futon, a table and some chairs, blankets, a massage table, and lots of bedding. One can get cold when fasting and having lots of layers makes a big difference.

Of course we also get to take food and some basic dishes. A pot, some plates, etc. This is of course for Spring and Kanyon. They will be cooking some when I am out of the room :-). All our stuff is in plastic tubs in the living room. One thing I think I am good at is packing. I guess it comes from a lifetime of moving a lot. Times like these I am sure glad I have a reliable truck. In the morning, we will load the truck and hit the road. I hope before noon.

In case you are wondering, Spring and I did think a lot about whether she should come down with me. I am sure you can imagine pluses and minuses. In the end, we jointly feel that we can manage the complexities without a lot of effort and we will both feel better together. Besides, since my Dad, older brother, youngest sister and Mom will be there for a portion, I really wanted them to see Kanyon again and Kanyon to see them. I am SO proud of that little guy. If you will allow me to show you what I mean. Kanyon LOVES to run down the mountain when we go hiking. There is no stopping him.
