The wind / myLot

I never thought about it, but the wind dehydrates me. We have a windy day today. I needed printer ink and a couple of other things so we planned to go to Walmart after church. We chose to eat at Arby's first, since it is right next door to Walmart. Instead of pop, I got a shake. By the time I shopped and we got back home I was horribly dehydrated. I have had a big drink of water or two, but you will need to excuse me while I go wet my whistle some more.

It's very windy and rainy here today. Normal day. I get dehydrated since I want hot drinks and not water when it's cold.

Hot drinks can help you stay hydrated, but not quite as well as water.

Oh dear. I hope you're feeling better by now. I should probably drink more water. I never really think about it.

I have always liked to drink water, straight from the tap. My mom always said I must be sick since I was always thirsty.

@GardenGerty Excessive thirst can be a factor in diabetes I think.

I am not a fan of wind. It makes us feel dry - skin and throat - and my mood is irked by the wind. I seriously feel like climate change affects our bodies as well.

I agree, the wind makes us feel agitated. I think it is the sound as much as anything else.

@GardenGerty I don't like hearing it at night when I'm trying to sleep . . . it is quite the opposite from when it rains. Wind is highly annoying.

Bad weather can affect everyone differently. I hope you can rehydrate.

If I get desperate I mix up some Gatorade. I just need to learn to carry water with me.

@GardenGerty Yeah. I got frazzled today, with all we did. So I forgot our sodas when George and I took an unplanned drive.

It's windy here, too. 16 mph breeze. I didn't fall asleep today until around noon and I'm still sleepy. I hope you're feeling better by now. It rained here off and on this morning.

It took a little while, but I am glad I have always liked to drink water.

@GardenGerty I always try to drink a gallon and a half of water every day... My system doesn't do well if I don't get enough.
