it shoots right through me in 30 minutes or less

my decision over the last few days to drink more water has not come without its consequences. i have been peeing all the time! i even had to cut several conversations short.
"DUDE I'LL CALL YOU RIGHT BACK!", i shouted into the phone once. another time i was having discussion with someone in their office and it was the same deal. bolt to the boys room in a mad dash (because i was trying to hold it, you know how that goes...i kept thinking the discussion was near its end). then what do i do? when i get back to the discussion i pick up the bottle of water and keep chugging. 30 minutes later, "uh....I'LL BE RIGHT BACK DUDES!" geez.

i had planned on a short run tonight but i just got home. long day. i'm hungry but i already had 1500 calories. my stomach is growling. i need to return a few emails and then get to bed. did i mention that one morning this week at 4:50 a.m. my neighbors were yelling and having a fight? i was in the shower and i heard a loud *THUMP*. hmm, something must have fallen over i thought. then i heard what i thought was the tv. so i'm all naked in the shower and its 4:50 a.m. therefore i am not thinking very clearly so i presume someone is in my room watching tv. proceed to shut off the shower and listen for intruders. then i hear my neighbors dropping f-bombs and such. stupid neighbors.

  • yeah, sometimes when i'm in the shower my cat will make a noise in the other room and i'm totally convinced that someone has broken into my apartment and is standing on the other side of the shower curtain, just waiting to grab me. i have a plan all worked out where i will kick at them through the shower curtain, stomp on their face, throw shampoo bottles and then streak through the apartment down into the street shouting.

    damn cat.

  • The water drinking is a Good Thing, but I swear the carpet between my office and the bathroom is worn thin.

    As for your shower, that will scare the life out of you. In my house, Mr. K is always trying to scare me in the shower. Not a relaxing experience. One of these days I'm going to come out swinging fists.

    Tomorrow? Is it tomorrow?

  • I can totally relate on the water thing, and the ladies' is downstairs at work, so I get extra activity in, too. Tee hee

  • I didn't even have to watch Psycho to get freaked out easily in showers. That lovely little trait just came naturally.

    The lady above me is a nice older woman, but she wears big clunky shoes and NEVER SLEEPS. She just paces all night in her big clunky shoes on her hardwood floors. It took a long time to learn to sleep through that!

    At least all those bathroom breaks gives you an excuse to get up and move around during the day!

  • I have a massive bladder so I can drink and drink and drink and hold it for hours. But, let me tell ya, when I have to go...I HAVE to go!! But I pee even when I'm talking on the phone (no one is ever able to tell).

  • Good on you for getting the water in! I really went wild with the water when I cut back on Diet Coke, and I felt like I should move my office to the bathroom at times. Hang in there ... it will get better.
