I woke up to rain out my open window at 5:00. Better than the 4:30 wake ups though. I felt good this morning. Today is the last day of this milk cure. 3 weeks, subsisting on whole raw milk (there really isn’t any other kind) and some water. I knew I could do it and it would […]

Along with falling asleep at 8:30, comes a wake up at 4:30. I know why I’m falling asleep so early, but I’m hopeful that once I’m off all this milk, that I’ll be able to push my bedtime to 9:30 (I still need 8 hours of sleep). Only two days left on just pure milk. […]

Early to bed, early to rise?  I was asleep by 8:30 and woke up at 4:30.  That is 8 hours of sleep so I guess I’m okay.  Keeping in mind that milk does have tryptophan in it and I am drinking milk that gets warmer during the day (I leave the gallon jug out all […]

I slept well last night, I woke up once around 3 am, but went right back to sleep until my alarm at 5:30. I’m feeling pretty good today, but do think I could have used a bit more sleep. Good days for me are boring days for my blog.

Slept well last night, but woke up around 5:30 with my mind full of programming.  Stop it brain, I still have one more day off! I know it’s probably boring to read the “I feel good” portions, but really I feel good. One of the reasons I did a daily post last year and now […]

I slept well last night, had the window open and the fan going. A storm is coming in and the front dropped the temperatures down about 20 degrees. I think the storm caused a headache though. I woke up at 3:30 with it. I’m not susceptible to pressure headaches, but maybe the milk is making […]

Woke up this morning at 4:30.  As usual for most mornings on the cure, I’m feeling fine. Ready to do my regular work today. Output is still not coming anywhere close to input, despite feelings of urgency.   I am down to 3 1/4 quarts of milk (13 cups) now.  Since I’m losing less than […]

I didn’t sleep well last night. It was a combination of things. First, it was still 70 degrees outside at 3 in the morning. Yes, I was awake then. Even with all the windows in the upstairs open and a fan blowing from the window, it was still warm. I only slept with a sheet […]

Despite the warmth of last night (it didn’t get down past the low 60’s), I slept pretty well. Woke up a few times, but managed to get back to sleep. I think that the night before was probably the mattress heater on GC’s side. Can’t solve that. I’ve been getting out of bed raring to […]
