The Bourbon Logs

Day 4 - self taken.

Well, day 4 begins and i am writing in the present tense, as i have “caught up”, so to speak, with current events. I awoke at 8:00 am and was disappointed with the state of my lips, which were still swollen despite the brushing that i put in the previous day. Ah well.

I started out with a coffee and the newspaper, thinking that something half-normal would be a good way to start the day. The coffee was a bit disappointing, but the thought was there. After coffee i had my morning elixir of antibiotics and chocolate milk, brushed my teeth, and made a breakfast shake.

Breakfast Shake

1 cup yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cup of frozen peaches
Frozen bananas - maybe 3/4 cup
1 tbs Protein powder (whey)
1 cup or so of peach/pear juice (i just added it until i got the right consistency)

It was/is quite good. I’m working on my second great tumbler of it right now. One thing i’m concerned about is nutrition. I know i will lose some weight through this experience, i’m just worried about how much. I don’t have a lot extra to start with. I’m not skinny by any stretch, but you wouldn’t exactly say i’m fat either. We’ll see how it goes. I keep thinking about the joy of chewing. My first meal will be a miracle….

Update on the Braun Water-Pic: i fired it up around noon and it was positively frightening. I wasn’t letting that thing within ten feet of these gums. It’s too much right now. I think i need to heal for a week or more before i give it a go. Right now i’m thinking it might do some damage. It really fires out of there….
