How do you know winter is ending?

For me, my brain comes back. I’ve often wished I could hang up a “Closed for Winter” sign, on my brain. Except it doesn’t work that way.

I was ill, this past weekend, a bit like winter exercising its last strangle hold on me. With it past, I feel like I can breathe and think again.

You may think I’m crazy or exaggerating. I don’t blame you. This is one of many reasons I’ve often felt like I’m a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

As I looked over my goals, I could not keep straight in my head the measurement of water. I kept thinking that 1 cup = 16 oz. I was thinking I was lucky I didn’t drown myself. Yes, that’s a thing. It is possible to drown yourself by drinking too much. And yes, I know 1 cup is 8 oz. I had to look at my liquid measuring cup to straighten myself out.

My new water goal is written in a way that I hope helps me from freaking myself out again.

Sometimes, I feel like I need a keeper.
