Water. It does a body good.

Each day I check my horoscope. It provides a nice break, along with celebrity blogs, during the hectic work day. Today's was especially telling, but let me tell you a story before I go into it. I had a little Lindsay Lohan moment last week, an experience that gossip columnists would deem "extreme exhaustion." I've been going about 100 miles an hour lately between parties, work and my hectic life that is on its way to New York. The combination of stress and probably too much partying (for my standards, which isn't a lot) inflicted major sickness last week. I left work one day, went home, and nearly slept 24 hours straight. I felt AWFUL! I was sure it was the flu, or worse mono. Well, I went to the doctor and discovered that all my problems could be solved by drinking a simple glass of water. Yep, I was extremely dehydrated. FYI, a sure sign of dehydration is an accelerated heart beat, which I had. I'm actually a little bit embarrased to admit it, but not so much I guess to write about it on my blog, so there it goes. So, I did what the doctor told me and drank gallons and gallons of water and voila! I felt better.

Now, back to the horoscope. Here's what the stars say about me:

"Drink plenty of water, dear Pisces, in order to keep your system properly hydrated. Water is the most important part of your diet, and it is likely that you are not drinking nearly enough. Being a water sign means that this element is the foundation of your being, making you extremely emotional, caring, and sensitive. Make sure to distance yourself from people who try to suck this life force from you."

See! How funny is that! I love the part that says, "Make sure to distance yourself from people who try to suck this life force from you." Um, who are those people? I can't really think of anyone who is not pro-water... maybe a barista? Coffee is my weakness! Okay, that reminds me, it's time for another nice cool glass of water...Ahh! Renewal :)
