When I consider a daily mini-adventure for my<strong> </strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/365-or-bust/" target="_blank"><strong>365 days of living curiously</strong></a>, I ask myself, "Does this scintillate my soul?"  If the answer is "yes", then I dive in.  If the answer is "no", then life is too short to waste time on stuff that doesn't excite you.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>In the midst of all this excitement, I periodically grapple with insomnia.  My brain doesn't want to shut off for 7-8 hours at a stretch.</p>

<p>What's a girl with 222 remaining days of curious living to do?</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>I've tried most everything.  Trust me.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>My natural doc (I'm not a fan of M.D.s) informed me that my liver is now in need of scintillation.  I am to go on an 18 day "cleanse".</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>I won't tell you what this involves as it will totally freak my mother out.</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Let's just say that one of the supplements is "wormwood".  :-o</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Here's to soul-scintillation, liver-scintillation, and restful sleep!</p>
