Summary
I lost count of how many times I refilled my water bottle, but I think I've had about 80 ounces of water to drink today. Overall, I felt pretty dang great all day. I started the day feeling like complete crap because my allergies were acting up. John and I spent most of yesterday afternoon running around the back yard (literally... have I mentioned how much this kiddo likes to RUN?). I should have taken some Claritin or something last night, but I forgot. But once I'd eaten breakfast and got my morning started, I had a ton of energy and got a lot of stuff done around the house. We'll see how I do with the rest of the week, but I'm really loving this so far.
And may the peace of the Lord be always with you.
