"Police dog boarding!" Boomed one of the male cops in a loud, powerful voice. Several people jumped, looking up from their cell phones in alarm as a beautiful, chocolate German Shorthair Pointer sniffed the floor and backpacks and feet of every passenger. Then he sat at attention on the stairs by my seet.
I was most impressed. When I transferred to the Airport Max at the Gateway Transit center, another K-9 unit boarded with me. This time the dig was a black lab.
It made for an interesting ride!
I also had a fabulous hoop session.
I slept better last night. I must admit, I am an internet junkie. I find it hard to go to bed without my cell phone in hand, playing Words with Friends (still trying to beat my rascally son-in-law!), checking email, and perusing Facebook.
But this late night internet activity "wakes up" my brain. I have trouble falling asleep, toss and turn and then feel like death warmed over in the morning.
Last night I unplugged. I still tossed and turned a bit. It was still difficult getting up. But not as bad as usual. I was eager to see my granddaughter, which provided me motivation. And by the time I got outside to do my morning hoop workout, I was feeling quite chipper!
I had a reward on my Starbucks card. So I stopped and got a lightly sweetened frappecino with almond milk.
I had a fantastic morning with Gracie. But when she put her sweet little head on my shoulder for her mid morning nap, I felt that "POOF" feeling coming on. (If perchance you did not read my post yesterday, "POOF" is an acronym for Pass Out on Floor.
I had to pinch myself to stay conscious. I thought about putting the baby in her crib for her nap, but she was so sweet on my shoulder. Plus, chances are, if I put her down, she would wake back up and frankly I was too exhausted to take that chance!
When my daughter came home, we visited, had a little lunch and then went for a walk. We discussed the POOF phenomenon. She lectured me, as usual, on my state of dehydration.
She has been telling me for years that I do not drink enough water.
Well, now that I am nearly beginning my fourth year of the blog of self improvement, I believe it is time to tackle my dehydration, once and for all!
Starting today, I am tracking how many glasses of water I drink.
So far today I have had 3. About 8 ounces each. I cannot count the coffee and iced tea. I am doing some research on what the ideal amount per day is. I am aiming for 8 glasses a day.
But I must end here. I have students to teach and water to drink before I POOF!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Zita
