I woke up the morning of Day 10 feeling “OK”, but I had a lot more energy throughout the day.

I really dislike most toilet paper commercials. Usually they are quite cheesy, although, I guess you kind of have to be when you’re getting “real about what happens in the bathroom.” Personally, I’m not a fan of talking about what happens in the bathroom, but truth be told, your bathroom trips tell a lot about your health. I have no desire to talk about it much further than that; However, if you’re wanting to read more detailed information, be sure to check out The Straight Poop. I do think that we could all use an education on elimination. I am just not the gifted person to deliver such a message. What I will say is that I am in the bathroom far more often these days, which means I’m going through toilet paper much faster. Fortunately, one of the chores I added to the 10 year old’s list this school year was to check each bathroom’s TP supply once a week. No one likes to hang out in the bathroom at the mercy of passersby, begging for some kind soul to bring them a new roll. Now I don’t have to 🙂
