Raw Juice Feast, Day 2

I read yesterday that I'm supposed to have a certain routine, like get up early, drink quart of water with MSM and lemon, do enema, dry brushing, shower with hot/cold alternating water. I have been getting up early for about a week now, but didn't have a routine like that. So, today I tried doing that - it seems like a lot to fit in, then I'm trying to go buy produce and give my cat medication and force-feeding on a schedule - I can't leave my cat unsupervised in case she throws up her medication, so I end up walking to the store or stores first and she gets medication a bit later than I like which I guess means I should be giving it to her later in the evening, but I don't want to stay up past 10:30, so it's tricky. She'll be done with this medication in less than a week, though, so I may be force-feeding and such but it won't be like "do this, wait one hour do this, wait another hour and do this".
Last night I asked my boyfriend if I still had my Costco membership and he said I do. It's under his company membership, but I lost my card maybe a year ago. I guess it's around somewhere, but I haven't found it. So today I went to Costco - walked, which is actually kind of funny, I mean I wonder if anyone other than maybe Costco employees actually walks there - and I was kind of nervous about it because I thought I might have to pee. Actually, I did have to by the time I got there, but they have some semi-nice bathrooms that were clearly marked so it worked out. I've had to pee a lot the last few days, so that's my new worry about going anywhere.
The woman at Costco customer service, who seems to be very talented at ignoring roaches that are just a few feet from her head, gave me a new membership card with no hassle at all - it printed out instantly and as a bonus my new picture is at least 50% better than the old one! I wanted to get apples but I couldn't bring myself to buy one of those big clamshells that holds each apple in a separate bubble. What ever happened to bags of apples? It's just too wasteful. I wanted a big bag of carrots, too, but all they had was "baby" carrots. There is nothing "baby" about those carrots and they scare me, so...pass. I got a big bag of spinach, which unfortunately wasn't organic, two melons (which turned out to be like honeydews...surprise!) and best of all...a four pack of celery that was organic and only $2.99! I guess I'll be going back to Costco about every four days to get more celery.
I felt a little headachy for a while today - maybe because this is actually day 3 for me with no caffiene - and I took a nap in the afternoon. I've been eating a lot of that jar of honey I have - probably more of it than I should, but it's useful when I am really hungry but haven't made a juice yet. I know people make all their juices in the morning sometimes, to free up time in their day, but some of those juices get really thick and gloopy when you do that...bleh. Since I'm home all day, I'd rather make each one fresh.
Today I had:
Watermelon juice (nice)
celery-romaine-spinach-orange X2 (it's okay - good thing I like celery)
pineapple-garlic (yum! crave-worthy)

weight: 209.2
