We decided to try a water fast. That is, Shawn decided to try a water fast and I was swooped up, the way I often am, by his enthusiasm and certainty. I have never fasted, excluding during illness, and so I do not have the benefit of practice to make it less difficult or to reassure me that I will soon feel better. We are coming up on 48 hours with nothing but water, and so far I feel tired. Everything I have read assures me that we are about to turn a corner and feel an incredible mental clarity unlike anything previously experienced. I would like this to be true because currently I feel groggy and sort of mentally blurry. The purpose of the fast? I don't remember. Too tired to think. We are trying for ten days.

To distract ourselves from food we went to the ocean this morning and drank water (ha) sitting on a bench in the sunshine overlooking the sea. It was beautiful and calming, and the walk (uphill) to the car assured my body that I still mean for it to do things.
After the ocean we went to a mall because I need new bras, and there I had the most satisfying bra shopping experience I think I have ever had. The saleswoman was astonishingly determined to help me, in spite of my limp protests, and before I knew it she was in the change room with me assessing my boobs and deciding that all my choices were wrong. She went off into the store without me and came back with the bras I should be wearing. And lo and behold she was right. Six times. I spent a ridiculous amount of money but now I have the six best fitting bras I have ever owned.
