When one challenge helps another

 It's interesting how one challenge helps the other....unintentionally LOL  I've been doing better lately about drinking more water. In the end, it's not as hard as I thought it would be.  Not that I thought it was this humongous task, but still it wasn't embedded in my daily routine.  However, my meds are helping me to drink more water.  Several of the meds that I take are diuretics, which increase the passing of urine. Delightful, no?  So, I go to the bathroom a lot more than I used to.  Ah, the joys of middle age!

In an effort not to dehydrate myself, I'm definitely taking in my daily allotment of water, sometimes more.  And, of course, I'm going to the bathroom more.  It's a vicious cycle.  Often, early in the morning (or the middle of the night), I will go to the bathroom and it's as if my bladder is completely full and I'm like where is this coming from?  Drives me crazy.

So, taking my meds is helping me with my water challenge.  It's not the most pleasant reason why, but hey, I'll take it.  

That is all.
