Accidents happen.

Sometimes, perhaps more often than one could know, accidents are tremendously fortuitous.  A foot forward through calamity is still a foot forward, especially given some of the other options.  One cannot bet on the probability of another outcome, not enough data.  For one example, if they had diagnosed the heart as bad early, they would have replaced it... back then I believed doctors knew what they were doing.  I'd be dead.  Better to suffer and live?  Only if one believes in God, perhaps, and then only learned of God after what would have been death.

Another, more simple, accident which proffered fruit recently?  Ah, yes.  I do use crystal light.  I use it in water, I also use it in tea.  I have certain flavors I enjoy very much.  Most I don't bother using.  Mostly berry types, for me.  I tried various lemonades, to mixed reviews.  Actually more negative.  Just a bit too... too.  However, I happened to be nearly out of most.  I almost never use a whole pack.  Actually, I take that back.  I mean I never use a whole pack, for sure.  I happened to have a partial of lemonade and, perhaps, fruit punch.  I mixed them.  Nice, very nice.  I have since experimented.  About two thirds of the berry to one third of any of the lemonades (you like and find work with the other) and, bam, you get a really nice flavor boost.  I don't use this stuff full strength, or every day.  A treat, even if "diet".  Even so, as a treat, I enjoy it more this way.  Something for you to tinker with.

Look, I enjoy tea.  But the volume in which I consume it, it's... impossible to just drink it the same all the time.  Even if I mix teas, which I do.  Even if I have different sorts of teas, for different moods.  Even while sometimes I drink it hot, mid, or cold.  And water?  I haven't been able to drink it without an add since the mid to late 90's.  Might be a side affect from the medicines they wrongly had me on.  It seems permanent now.  There are often downsides to even fortuitous accidents.  Anyway, just thought to share.

Yes, tea and coffee really help.  In enough volume, the water is a flush, the caffeine helps with hunger, and some... other good things for the keto and i.fasting way.  It is the way of it.

Later.
