Aqua, Aqua!

I have embarked on a journey of health and hydration.

Lots of fruit and fiber.
And the all important water,i.e. aqua.

I have been drinking aqau almost exclusively for the last couple of weeks.
Frankly, I am about all aqua-ed out.

I used to drink tons and tons of iced tea.
With sugar.

And than I got to figuring out how much fluid I was taking in and deciding I needed to drink more.
And to be healthy, it has to be straight up aqua aka watah.

No caffeine.
No sugar.
No flavor.

Just boring water.
Excuse me, aqua.

I have tried putting in lemon juice.
Is it just me or does the lemon juice sink to the bottom?
I stir and at first it's OK.
Than I hit the bottom 1/8 of the glass.
And Ew!

Plus, now I am wearing a path in the floor between the computer and the toilet.
Maybe I should just move to the bathroom.

I have an outlet for the computer.
The toilet.
A sink to get more water, ahem I mean aqua, to drink so I can use the toilet again.

Fool proof plan.

Except for no food and no bed.

I was hoping to see a bit of weight loss from drinking all the aqua.
So far it just ain't happenin'.

But aqua is good for me so I will keep drinking and hoping that it will make me thin and fabulous.
Skin radiance is supposed to be another benefit, isn't it?

OK, I want that too.

Cheers!

Ahhhh, Monkey Water!

I love my monkey water baths.

In case you don't know what monkey water is,
let me enlighten you.

Monkey water is water that is so hot you say "ooh ooh aah aah"
Just like a monkey.
Scratching arm pits is optional.

Why is this such important news?
Because, the week of Christmas my water heater died and no more monkey water baths for a few days.

My wash water was heated on the stove.
That was fun.
Good thing I have a big stock pot and several Dutch ovens.

Not enough to fill my ginormous clawfoot bathtub, but good enough to get me clean.

Santa Claus came in the form of my inlaws this year who paid a shitload for a better water heater than we could afford.

Propane water heaters cost more.
Lucky me.

So Honeyman and father-in-law went and got it December 23rd and put it in the 26th.

Yay for hot water!

Due to the fact that our house is almost 100 years old and built oddly, it took forever to get it installed.
In the course of it all, fil broke the hot water line.

But, it's in and it works and I get my monkey water baths back.

OOOH OOOH, AAAH AAAH!
