Good day to you all, hope you are well.
I think a lot of us are within the heat wave in the US. I hope you are taking care of yourself if you are. Remember to stay hydrated in times like this and check in on each other.
On Wednesday, I was working pretty hard, and I kept drinking and was switching from water to Gatorade and through the whole day I thought I might have drunk too much. From the time I woke up till I went to bed I had drank 124oz of drinks, but I felt good.
Then yesterday I only drank 76oz all day and in the evening, I was getting cramps in the calves. I guess I should have drunk more. I am feeling alright today but I can still feel it in my calves a little.
Even when you think you drank enough you should drink a little more. I guess that saying is true. Well, thankfully I am off work for the weekend, and I can just relax in the air conditioning.
Take care of yourself and each other.

Uhm... when you start feeling cramps, you can "fix" them quickly and easily by swallowing a mouthful or two of pickle juice. You do need to keep drinking water but the pickle juice will stop muscle cramps instantly.

I don't like pickles so I just make up the juice when we start running low. I keep a quart jar of it in the fridge all the time.

@DaddyEvil very nice. I'm not a big fan of them but when it gets this hot, I will eat them and drink the juice because I hate crapping up and getting dehydrated more than I hate the pickles.

@Bensen32 That's all you can do. I went out for a few minutes this morning and it was like a slap in the face.
