Dehydrated.

Taking medicines as I should, even a little lightly.  In my opinion.  But that was the doctor's call and I didn't want to fight on that particular point.  So, two per day.  Which, often, isn't enough.  However, with the weather hitting 70~73 inside, pretty much always, I have been drinking less.  A lot less.

It's 45 out there, give or take.

I wasn't adding the things up.  Didn't notice, until a few days ago.  Minor complaints.  Wasn't sure the cause.  Mild enough it could be anything.  A sore throat, along the length of the neck.  Some internal discomfort.  The heart being a bit odd, rough.  Was cramping, but taking the minerals helped with that.

Then it hit me.  Dehydration.  Just not enough fluid in there.  So, today, no water pills.  And, I'll try to drink more fluid.  Kefir doesn't count.  It is drinkable, but as mentioned, it has meat to it.  It's not like water, or juice.  It's like blended yogurt, with a tad of milk in it.  So, I need water, tea, but not even coffee really work, or tea probably, actually.  To thick.  I need water, and electrolytes.  I can do that.  I haven't been doing vinegar tonics, those would be good.  Very fresh, hydrating, and easy to take down.

But, yes, things hurt today.  I best be a good boy and tend this.

I woke at about 3:30?  Didn't get out of bed until nearly 4:30, from the discomforts discussed.  A glass of milk, first thing.  Not the best, for keto, but fluid.  Something I could take quickly.  Now, a vinegar tonic, and coffee.  Kefir a bit later.  Need fluids.  I'll take medicine, save the water pills.  I'll take a day or two off from those, then start with just one.  AND keep fluid intake a bit elevated.

I haven't seen my feet this water/fluid free in a very long time.  I do like that, but not at the cost of my life.

I pulled several meats from the freezer yesterday.  Will have something before too long.  It should all be thawed.  Best get those bagged and in the fridge.  Anyone else notice how much these bleed?  I thought they bled the animals?  Maybe they do, but not as much as they used to do?  Something.  Spills right out of the packages, too.  Ugh.  Double bagging them, while in the fridge, and putting them in places carefully, helps.  But they really shouldn't be that bloody?  The world has changed.

Well, on with my day.
