So, Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country.  ~ Kamala Harris

Day 5 of this all-meat-and-water nonsense, dear reader, and I’m afraid things have taken a turn for the tolerable.  Certainly better than yesterday.  Yesterday was preposterous.  I felt like I was turning feral.  This morning I woke in a far more decent mood, and didn’t even start lusting hungrily for flesh until almost 9:00 am.
I was secretly hoping today would be another bad day, because I was about ready to call it quits.  But now I might as well go at least a full week.
I do feel good overall.  And I’m saving a fortune on food.
And I’m writing a bunch, which is good.  Friends say that this is when things should start to get interesting.  We’ll see….
In other news, I’m increasingly convinced we’re going to be hit with at least one black swan event before the new year.  And I think this winter is going to be dark and rather violent.  Again, we shall see.
