Linda Needs a Drink


It's the only time I can remember that Linda has been home on a Wednesday night. She usually has church and really looks forward to going each week. Tonight, she is not feeling that great. It could be a quick tummy virus, but she thinks that it might just be dehydration. In the last 36 hours she has taught 7 hard classes. Last night, she almost passed out on the pool deck when she was using the wrench to try and put the lanes back in place then stood up. Her skin is doing exactly what this photo shows, one of the signs of dehydration. This afternoon, she HAD to cut the grass, front and back. It's been many, many weeks since the Lawn Fairy magically mowed and the backyard weeds were three times taller than me! After mowing and teaching 2 classes this afternoon, she was woozy and nauseous. Now, she has chills and is wrapped in a sweatshirt. No walk for us tonight and I won't whine one bit about it. Chim is out back since he was annoying us both. In a few minutes, she is going to take a hot bath then curl up in The Big Bed with a giant glass of ice water.
