Journal

 I wish my dog didn’t bark so much when people come over.

I wish even more that I didn’t get frazzled so easy in regards to leaving my house.

I also wish I was better with my medication because I wouldn’t have the second issue. (I’m working on this.)

Pretty sure I was dehydrated yesterday

 I was helping a friend at an outdoor market and got really dizzy. It wasn’t hot out, I wasn’t in direct sunlight, but a few hours in I felt like I was on a boat. I ignored it for a few minutes, stood up and noticed my balance was off. As I walked to get food I had to struggle to walk a straight line - while hoping people didn’t notice and think I was drunk.

We ended up leaving early because I wasn’t getting better and the crowd was slow (I was going to call for a ride home).

My boyfriend cooked me pasta and chicken broth which helped.

Need suggestions:

On the way home my friend and I talked about ways I can get myself to drink more water. I don’t like the taste of it, and sometimes I don’t like the taste of tea. (I’m going to make those lemonade ice cubes today.)

We talked about drinks that have electrolytes, maybe mixing it with water to dilute them, or getting those powders that you mix in.

We have fresh lemons so to start with I’ll cut those up and throw them in water. If that doesn’t work for more than a week I’ll go on from there.

JoAnn Fabric’s has witch’s limbs

JoAnn Fabric’s has witch’s limbs that you can stick in your yard and I was *this* close to buying a set of legs because who wouldn’t want the aesthetic of a cartoon witch buried headfirst in your garden??

I need to ignore my failures with food

 I went to a farmer’s market with a friend and though I was eyeing a head of lettuce (because I should eat more greens), I didn’t get it because I know I won’t eat it. I won’t put the time into cutting it up for later, and if I do I’ll forget about it until its bad.

Ex 1) The container of blue berries my boyfriend got me earlier in the week began to mold before I touched it.

Ex 2) Last time I bough lettuce I made a point to prep it into grab jars, and it failed. It was slimy and gross by the time I went to eat it *several days later* … and I just kept thinking about that.

Lemonade Ice Cubes

I did get a container of fresh lemonade! I’m going to try freezing some as ice cubes for my tea … instead of squeezing fresh lemons. It sounds weird and it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but it’s locally made and they use glass containers that you can return, which is something I want to support.
