Day 128 - the brave

Today has been another crazy day. Straight out of the madhouse. Yesterday evening our landlady called to say they'd do some maintance work in the flat today. So just like that, I had to take a day off, still working at home, though god knows you cannot really work with all the fuss going around. The workers came in at 9.30 am. They left at 6 pm. All this while me keeping them under my eyes, removing things out of the way, moping the floor behind them and cleaning surfaces. Just a quick glance at our flat today:

At 6 pm I was more than happy for them to be gone and I jumped up and finally managed to feed.

(I know that curved thing looks like a shrimp, but it's not. It's actually zucchini and all vegan).

I threw together some tortilla wrap filling and just indulged, before taking the mop again and clean everything yet again. Balcony included. Did I mention we spent the weekend painting the walls and cleaning everything? Well, almost a waste of time. We need to repaint several areas again.

In other news, the postman made my day by bringing me a package of superfoods I ordered - wheatgrass powder & acai berry powder. I decided to use the acai berry powder as an addition to smoothies, but haven't tried it yet. I did, however (oh, me so brave!) decided to take a shot of the wheatgrass.

Oh my. I did spend some time gathering the courage to pour this down my throat. I did add a slice of lemon, just because I saw it in every picture so far of a wheatgrass shot. Man, this stuff looks nasty! And it smells even worse! Like horse hey and stuff. Well, man up, I told myself. If I managed to start drinking red beet juice (detest red beet!), I can manage a small shot of this shit.

I squeezed my nose and took a sip.

Oh boy! Oh nasty! YUK! Now I understood the benefit of the lemon slice and quickly bit into it to remove the taste. My partner rose his eyebrows at me and told me to stay away. I lingered over the sink, just in case. I still had quite a bit of the green shit to drink. I was not so sure anymore I would actually manage it.

I tried again. Man! Same result! Well, I would not let a bit of green water take the better of me. I diluted the shit with water and squeezed some more lemon in it. I diluted some more and rose the glass.

And drank it all. And was not so bad!! Surely better than my first red beet juice try.
So yes, I will drink it again, more diluted and with maybe some orange juice in it. Just for health's sake. Aren't I the brave one.
