Castor canadensis

The Castor Oil worked very well. Although it takes a few hours to work I would suggest if you were to try it you do it some day you'll be around the house rather than right before bed. It didn't take all night to get things moving.

Oh yeah and it doesn't exactly taste great so might I suggest you drink it like a Mexican beer. For that matter the results are similar :)

Cleaning house

This week I had to clear out the drain in the tub. It got me thinking bout how gross clogged plumbing is. So last night I drank some herbal laxative tea. It smelled vaguely familiar. The results were less than impressive - it gave me a headache without any noticeable result. So tonight I am going to try a castor oil shot before bedtime.

Part two is that having rudely crossed the 200 pound Rubicon I can feel the icy hand of death rubbing my buddah belly so the fight must begin now. I am planning to transition to the Paleo-diet sooner rather than later and since it seems I should plan on some digestive discomfort as I transition from a carbohydrate to a fat based metabolism I figured it would be good to get the pipes cleaned as preparation. But I'm wary of colonic hydrotherapy (http://www.colonhydrotherapy.ca). What can I say, I'm still a hillbilly at heart.

Oh and the familiar smell of the tea came back to me - Oolong. Oolong always gives me a headache. So now I've got 19 bags of herbal laxative tea going cheap...

Settling in

So I've been here in the GTA about 6 weeks now. I don't much care for it. 7125 sqaure kilometers of broken concrete and patched up asphalt. And it doesn't smell very nice either most days. Maybe I would like it better if I was into the nightlife but so far I haven't seen anything positive to write home about.

Between getting unpacked and spending about 4 hours a day commuting to work I'm not getting an exercise. I am getting fat. Even a dose of the flu couldn't rot off a few pounds. So satrting in December, or maybe the new year I'm going to try the Paleodiet (www.paleodiet.com).

Hopefully ot will turn out as well as the hypoallergenic diet. If not I'll give the hypoallergenic diet another go.

Now I just need to figure out a way to work in some exercise...
