Day 6 -- Traveling, Tired, and Tremendously Busy

Day 6 of the Broth Fast (for the third time).

 If you are new to this, you might think about going back and reading from the very beginning, but you do what you like. I love you either way :-)

 Day 6 was a busy day for sure! I woke up and had to start packing to drive back to the place where I live, in a cabin in the mountains. I had to pack things up because I probably would not be coming back to the Santa Barbara area for about three weeks or so.   That said, there was certainly a lot to do.  I needed to travel back three hours which ended up being 4 1/2 with traffic. So I had to deal with the broth for traveling.   As you may remember, earlier I did not bring enough broth with me and had a really rough trip.    This time I made sure I was well-prepared. So when I left, I had probably 2 gallons of broth with me.

Once I arrived, I needed to get ready  to set our cabin has an Airbnb rental.  Consequently, I have a lot to do! And to make matters worse, somehow we ended up getting bedbugs. So the linens, all of the clothing, both mattresses, all pillows, and the couch all need to be steam cleaned or laundered in hot water.  So I pick these up and started working on putting the house back together.  It was pretty exhausting to say the least. I was already tired and weak from the broadcast and then having this much work to do sure made things difficult for su it was pretty exhausting to say the least. I was already tired and weak from the broadcast and then having this much work to do sure made things difficult.

 I guess related to the broth fast and the biggest thing that I would say is just that I was tired. At the end of the day I look at what I got accomplished and noticed that I actually was decently productive. I felt like I was dragging but when it was all said and done, I did pretty darn good job.

I was so glad that I have made so much extra dr I was so glad that I have made so much extra broth  before I left Santa Barbara. It was so nice to be able to immediately tap into that. And one thing that I had noticed  was that I was enjoying it when it was cold just as much as when it was hot.   The idea of drinking chicken broth  Who may not sound all that appealing to but I actually liked it. It was kind of nice actually. Refreshing being that it was reallt hot outside, and inside my cabin sans A/C.

 Tomorrow is a big day for me for sure! I am scheduled to take my bus drivers behind the wheel examination.   I don't know what it's like to get this mother is Asian where you live, but out you're in California it's pretty brutal. And to make matters worse, the guy who is doing the testing is the trainer for all of the testers in the state. Is insanely strict! Say a prayer for me :-) I think I'll need it.

 Tomorrow is day seven. I am looking forward to finishing this up and getting ready for a vacation with my sweetheart.  More soon

BOOK by the end of the summer

Note to newbie's:  If you're just joining us, feel free to stick around but you might enjoy the story better if you start at the very beginning.  It reads like a book so it's fun to start with the first post and read each entry.  Here's the link:  Click Here for First Post

For the fans and followers, and for anyone thats new, you might be happy to hear that I'm finishing up the book and I'll have it available before the end of the summer.  And yes, it will have lots of recipes!

As more time goes by and as the blog numbers continue to rise (over 42,00 as of today)...I've realized more and more that what I did was actually quite unusual and a kind of big deal.  I didn't really think of it that way.  But people are blown away when I tell them and I've seen this reaction enough now to see that it was a pretty cool thing.  :-)

Many have asked if I've written a book, been on Oprah, told Dr. Phil, or some random thing like that.  So although I've toyed with the idea of writing a book, and at one point actually decided to do so, I never put in the "action step".

A decision without action is just a fleeting moment of conviction.  So, action I take! And have taken!  I have written a good chunk of the "middle" of the book and have completed most of the introduction.  I think that the intro is actually pretty good, if I do say so myself.

Ok, so you can hold me accountable.  Drop a note, add a comment, put your name on the mailing list or whatever you'd like.  I'd appreciate the encouragement.  My email is mike93108 at gmail.

PLEASE SHARE ON FACEBOOK or TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!  That would be a very nice gift.
