Day 1: Master Cleanse (Mid Day)

I'm still not hungry. I'm in no mood to do anything but mope around and be bitter at the world. Seriously, I'm not handling this guinea pig thing good at all.

And on top of all of that, I can't drive our new car on base because we can't get a base pass sticker on it until the plates get here and the temporary pass is only good for the primary on the vehicle. So we can't even sell the suzuki until we get our new plates in a month.

ALSO, the last ingredient we needed to get for our diet is lemons. The essential ingredient. We each need to drink at least 60 oz of fresh squeezed lemon mixture...translating into 6 TBSP lemon juice EACH or 12 TBSP TOTAL Per day for 10 days. One lemon equals about 1 TBSP so we need 12 lemons per day total. Since the commissary is closed Monday and Tuesday, we need enough lemons to get us through today, tomorrow, and Tuesday which equals 36 lemons.

With that said, we go to the commissary and they have a handful of lemons available. The discounted to sell ones were starting to mold, and of the ones left at the regular price of $1.49/lb, I could only get 4 that looked decent enough to eat. I'm not picky either...I mean, the ones I didn't pick up were soft enough I could have poked a hole with my finger; they were starting to shrivel. So I got 4 lemons there...no problem...we'll just go to Safeway, right? We get there and there are lemons galore. The price at the commissary was $1.49 per pound. One pound is about 3.5 lemons. So I get 3.5 lemons for $1.49 at the commissary.

At SAFEWAY, each lemon is a frickin' $1.99 EACH! It's NOT organic, and it doesn't have any magical powers...NOTHING! Two freeking dollars for a TBSP of fresh lemon juice. Are you kidding me?!?!?! 3.5 lemons for $7?????

I ended up getting 20 lemons there for $40 only because I have no other choice. I don't know what else I can do. I need 36 to get us through Tuesday, but I only have 24.

It's just a crappy day.
