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 26 There's a Magical Soda Heaven Somewhere in Texas

Why? Why did Coca-Cola pick THIS year, the year I have chosen to banish soda from my life? They have created the ultimate in soda technology, the 100 flavor Freestyle soda machine, a machine with every imaginable soda flavor Coke can think of. The touch screen machines are being tested in several different fast food establishments, none of which I will mention here, lest you all let your thirsty ambitions lead you down those dark and fizzy waters of temptation. Being something of a soda aficionado, I am intrigued by the wonder of mixing soda flavors but also repulsed by the possibilities of gluttonous savagery, led by over sugared children in a Pre- Diabetic free for all. The news video was a little scary, one woman who had shown up for the unveiling states that she had already tried several flavors and was coming back after work to fill up again. Rats, I've been foiled again, the upper echelons of Coca-Cola must have caught wind of my combative efforts to end the syrupy fizz war once and for all. No matter, my one woman show will go forward, warning the masses of soda induced muffin tops and sugar inspired back fat, I will prevail!
In other news, I spent 4 hours in the lobby of a car repair shop today and had to search for water, to the East there was a Taco Bell, to the North, a gas station, I chose North, so as not to even temp myself in wistful smells of beans and cheese or any other type of fast food tomfoolery. Water, I found the Oasis and was blissfully hydrated, standing in the glare of gas station soda-land, score one for me.
