How dry I am...
Mar. 20th, 2010 03:29 pmSo, after two weekends in a row of cripplingly bad headaches (a condition I'm not normally prone to, outside of caffeine overdose/detox or when I needed new glasses very badly... I just got new glasses and have been wearing them for over a month without issues), those who know me best asked me if I was sure I was drinking enough fluids.
My first thought was "Yes, of course I am." But after a second inquiry, I realized "No, not really." Last weekend I identified dehydration and too much Pepsi Max as the source of my headaches... I cut out the Pepsi Max but in retrospect I didn't really replace it with anything. My life and my work space are in a bit of a disarray right now as we're in a sort of transitional period here... it's easy for little things like "carrying out biological processes essential to the continuation of life" to slip through the cracks.
So hopefully with this slight correction, the headaches are licked. Aside from being a literal pain, my judgment was affected pretty badly last weekend, and this weekend I ended up writing about 5,000 words that... viewed with a clearer head... weren't very good, in any sense.
Conversations We Won't Be Having Here: How drinking anything but water will dehydrate you, how many glasses of water the internet/your gym teacher/your doctor who uses the same internet and pool of gym teachers thinks you need to drink in a day.
