Lesson of the day - Hydrate!

I usually drink a lot of water. So much so that I'm not concerned about my level of hydration. However, this morning, I got up and was a little thirsty. I drank some water before my walk in World's End. Not enough.

On the way home I felt nauseous (and was thinking 'maybe I did not eat enough for my vitamins'). I got home and felt more nauseous. Called the husband to complain. He in his infinite wisdom said to drink plenty of water and something salty. His words were actually "make some eggs and just pour your usual amount of salt on them".

I knew what to do, but wasn't really thinking clearly. I can't think straight when I'm nauseous. Now I know - hydrate the day before!

Yesterday, I was in court most of the day so I didn't drink my usual water, and last night, I didn't drink any water.

Lesson learned!
