Final weekend on "The Project" and I managed almost 8 hours sleep for the third night in a row, so was feeling a bit less shaky and a bit more human. Energy levels for everyone else were a bit all over the place. The crew has been working here since August so must be laughing up their sleeves at us "celebrities" moaning about hard work.
I am also back trying to drink two and a half litres of water a day, as per my oncologist's instructions, but that means going to the toilet about every 20 minutes. If water is so good for you, why is your body so desperate to get the poison out of you? Answer me that, science!
Catie seems to think that the lack of water might be what is causing my dizziness. But what's her evidence? Just because my dad and father-in-law had similar issues when they didn't drink enough water! And the fact the dizziness is better now that I am drinking way too much water. What kind of evidence is that? Next she'll be saying water has memory and can treat all illnesses because it once had some medicine in it!
The lady doing my make up has also pointed out that my lips are not chapped this week as they have been sometimes previously. The jury is still out on whether water has anything to do with this.
I have been concentrating so hard on the work at hand that I have forgotten to drink anything for three hour stretches. Circumstantial evidence.
Maybe the water has been helping, but is it worth the embarrassment of having to go to the toilet four times before we've even started filming (at 9am)? Of course not. I'd rather be a dry husk on the point of death than have to keep asking if it's all right to do another wee and look like some kind of old man unable to control his bladder.
No matter that that is what I am.
Anyway the human body is already 60% water. That's science. I don't think you need any more water.
I will continue this ridiculous experiment to prove my wife wrong and to show her this is just a con perpetuated by toilet manufacturers. And you know what, I think just me doing this to show her is already making me feel better.
I can't believe November is almost over, but then I have spent nearly the whole month up here, doing this thing. It has been a crazy experience and I've learned a bit about myself, but it's also reminded me about finding time for myself. Some aspects of what we're doing require concentration, but are relaxing to the point of meditation and I think it's good for mental health to immerse oneself in something creative, but in a totally different medium to my usual creativity. Come back and read all this again when you know what it is. I will probably write more fully when it's on. If it's ever one. There is part of me convinced it's all a horrible prank show, where everyone is going to laugh at me for believing I might be OK at this.
