I Guess I am a Lizard
Woman in the Middle | January 31, 2012I think I am a lizard. Born and bred in a desert environment, I am meant to be dry and marginally dehydrated. I really don’t get that thirsty on a normal day. In the summer a cold glass of iced tea is always nice but more for the coolness factor, not because I am thirsty. Recently a doctor recommended I drink 10 glasses of water a day for what I hope is a temporary issue. Goodness! I have been trying to chug water like there is no tomorrow but that has created another problem. I can barely leave the house!
Seriously, if I drink like I supposed to I am lucky if I can go (so to speak) for an hour without needing a bathroom. A drive across town ends in agony as I rush into what ever building or house I visiting in search of the rest room. I don’t know about you, but public restrooms aren’t my favorite places. Of course I use them but I do not want to have to use them three times in one two-hour shopping trip!
I try to remind myself that it is good I have ready access to clean drinkable water, to public restrooms, to my own well used plumbing…..excuse me, I need to take a break….all that water, you know!
