    so today is sunday and i am feeling a bit tired today. had to have an afternoon nap. i had a few days ago a sore in my mouth no big deal. today i performed some blood tests. i have very high levels of GGT which is really disturbing.

    Last night i had a good nights sleep from 23:00-06:00 with no interference during the night (not that i can remember anyway). Before i went to bed i felt tummy acks, took some ginger before i went to bed. I lit in the room an oil burner with a few drop of mint so i fell a sleep with nice aroma in the room. got up in the morning took my wheat grass juice and dosed off again till 07:30. This morning i don't feel and nausea…
