Day 4? Technically Day 3.5?

Ok, so here's where I start to whine.
I slept horribly last night and I woke up feeling worse.  The past 2 days have been a cinch comfort-wise.  Hunger, but I can deal with that.
Today I feel sore, achy, cold (its snowing 4-6"), tired (working 12 hours today), headache, sinus pain - the whole nine yards.  My roommate, who is also fasting with me, feels the same.  She has more nausea.  So water already tastes nasty but I read somewhere today that if your body doesn't crave water, don't drink it.  You can force yourself and it won't hurt you, but it won't help either.  
I don't think that I'm in as severe acidosis as I was during my last fast, which is nice.  This is all detox.  I fasted for 10 days and my body still has to detox itself.  How much crap did I have in my body?  About 27 years worth!  :)
So, needless to say, spiritually this morning was not very good.  I had a great day yesterday spiritually and I also found out that I may be able to go to Russia for 4 months!  How cool would that be?  Spend 4 months studying Russian, making Russian friends, sharing the gospel, teaching ESL classes, working alongside missionaries I already love, etc.  I think it sounds like blast!  Just another hint that I am indeed called to the mission field overseas.  (This is one reason why I couldn't fall asleep last night, the other was most likely my 2+ hour nap yesterday afternoon.)
There are alot of issues that would have to be worked out financially and spiritually if I were to go.  Its up to the Lord.  I am praying about it and have enlisted some friends and mentors to pray as well.
That's all for today.  Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and I'll be able to go home at 6!  Good Lord willing!
