The Master Cleanse Site

So I was running low on lemons and maple syrup, so time for a shopping trip! I can only blame MC delirium for my decision to go to Wegman’s. I know that place is always packed on Saturday, but I wanted to check out their prices on MC supplies and look for a senna tea alternative. This was a big mistake. Apparently Wegman’s is the world capital of people who need to loiter in the middle of the aisle and stare blankly into space. And they all went out for a nice visit to Wegman’s. So you can imagine what a hellacious experience it was.

The same people are too lazy to park far from the entrance and walk across the parking lot, so they sit in their cars and wait for each other to leave in order to get spots near the door. You can image how frustrating this is for sensible people like myself who just want to get the heck out of there.

Well, the lemons were a bit cheaper, $3 for six instead of $5 at Whole Foods. But there was absolutely NO grade B maple syrup at all! I know, shocking. And disappointing. So I ended up going to Whole Foods anyway to get more syrup.

I did pick up something called ‘Swiss Kriss’ (an herbal laxative) at Wegman’s. But I wonder if I am overthinking this senna tea thing. I may have let my expectations be colored too much by other’s descriptions. The Book says one should have at least 3-4 movements a day and I am well ahead of that. It implies this is the whole purpose of the tea, I guess maybe people would get constipated only drinking lemonade for 10 days.

The clerk at Whole Foods exclaimed at the quantities of lemons and maple syrup I was buying, so I told him about the Master Cleanse. He seemed to think I was crazy just like Ginny, who apparently is now my former BFF.

Second half of yesterday through afternoon today I have had some odd aches and pains. Probably psychosomatic since they quickly passed. But I did find that my legs feel really tired just like after a tough bike ride. Felt a little sore just going up and down the stairs to get the mail. But trudging across the parking lots seems to have cleared that up and now I feel fine. Interesting. I will try to do some yoga tomorrow and see how that feels. Although doping on herbal laxatives and then doing contortionist exercises is possibly not a good plan. Well, my living room has a brown rug so I think it will be OK.
