Day 89 Doing The Water Cooler Dance

Today, I am thrilled, overjoyed and happy beyond belief, today my life became easier and a tad more hydrated. For almost two years, I have spent my days in an office made of aluminum, with no water, no bathroom and until recently, windows falsely believed to be un-openable. Well, today, my dry little corner of the world received a little rain storm called Culligan. That's right, jugs and jugs of cold, accessible water and cups! Oh, the tiny, tiny cups! Yesterday, the Culligan guy came to find a locked office, he left a note and I was on his trail, early this morning. I re-arranged my schedule to receive our precious water cooler and waited and waited.....and waited. I purposely did not make my daily trek, over to the clinic to sip out of their supply, no I waited, because I knew he would roll up, as soon as I left the office. By the time he arrived, I was parched and withering away from dehydration. I waited, while he found an outlet, I was patient, while he found the paperwork for me to sign, I listened carefully to his directions on how to peel the sticker off of the water jug before placing it on the cooler. Finally he was finished, I heard the sweet gurgle as he dropped the jug in place, I was getting antsy. Mr. Culligan left the office, with a good day and a see ya next month, but something was amiss, there were no cups! I raced out the door, like a track star, WAIT!!!!! WAIT!!! WE NEED CUPS MR. CULLIGAN!!! He had cups, he had sleeves and sleeves of cups, we were saved. I was so thirsty, I almost just put my face underneath the spigot for a long cool drink, but I didn't I sipped it like a lady who's been roasting in the desert for 40 days. I never thought water would make me so happy, having it nearby will most certainly help me in my mission to stay hydrated and to stay away from soda....tomorrow will be 90 days! Go me!

Day 68 If I Had A Camel This Never Would Have Happened

Today, I am sadly disappointed in my new water bottle. My new stainless steel answer to buying bottled water or making a trip to another building for a drink, has gone south. This afternoon, I reached into my purse, where my water bottle was renting space and came out with a wet hand. I panicked, flinging papers, money, and my phone out as fast as I could, I literally poured about 4 oz of water out of my purse. I'm really confused because the seal safe top was screwed on and the bottle wasn't even upside down, but I somehow managed to flood everything I own, pursewise. The other problem I discovered was that it doesn't stay upright in the cup holder and twice, it lept out and rolled into the floorboard, in an attempt to lodge itself beneath my break pedal. Stupid water bottle. All of this to prove a point, all of this just to make a healthy statement and to reduce my soda consumption, Jeez who's idea was this anyway? Why did soda have to be so convenient, so refreshing, so solidly adept at following the rules of placement in a vehicle? Maybe I should use an old soda cup for water, why do I need to get all fancy and high falootin' about it? I'm sure I can find a 40 oz travel savvy cup for ice and water somewhere in my kitchen. It's really hard being healthy and responsible, in such circumstances but I must keep moving forward.
