How Dry and OCD I Am

I did not post yesterday because I was ill. Houston is under a heat alert. We have had record breaking (1980)high temperatures all week. This just happens to be the same week when my office was celebrating "Soaring Through the Decades". This work week consisted of attire and activities to match each era; daily wearing of wigs, pantyhose, scarves, leather collars, leg warmers, tight disco pants, tulle lined skirts, and other extra clothing and accessories. Since we were also in another work location and activities were different;I was not in my office staring at my table top water filter which I drink from hourly. I "forgot" to rehydrate myself. For the past few days, I have been taking in only less than 35oz of water a day. By the time I came home from work yesterday, I was severely dehydrated. It was difficult to keep liquids down. I was too weak to get up and get freshened up to go to minor emergency. No, I was not leaving the house without brushing the pearly whites. I know the drill, I have done it twice before. I get to a point where I get dizzy, nauseated, headache, etc... and I when I arrive at emergency I am given intravenously, liquids which contain vitamins and minerals until I can drink water or juice without vomiting.


Yesterday's post is coming up. It is about my personal tribute to Michael Jackson. It shall not appear in this post; I just did not want to post my tribute to Michael in the same one that mentions "vomiting". How OCD is that?

Disclaimer: I am not joking about OCD or persons living with OCD. I am more OCD than the average person and at this point in my life, trying to come to terms and recognize instances in my daily behavior.
