The wind

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.

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

It was easily remedied with a big cup of water. I drink more at home than any place else.

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.

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.

Much better. When I am at home I keep a drinking cup full of water by my desk.

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.

Yes, you do, but we have a ton of wind here in my area as well. At least I can plant windbreaks if I choose.

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.

We seem to be having an extra windy season this year. I should always take a bottle or cup of water with me when we go out.

Wind can really dry you out! Sounds like a busy day—hope you’re feeling better after hydrating. Take it easy!
