I was supposed to go to church, but when I got up this morning I felt a twinge near my bowel and bit nauseous, and thought that may be a bit of mild diverticulitis, so I thought it better to stay home and horizontal for awhile. I spent alot of the day reading and watching Netflix with my cats beside me. I felt better by about 10.30 am, so I rang church - they worry about me when I unexpectedly don't arrive - and let them know all is well. So that was my day @tyme. I also got to have a late breakfast of some fruit, a dirty chai with 2 shots of espresso, and a small quiche at a local coffee shop.

So true @Former-Member . Consider how the hot choc tastes, smells, feels, sounds and looks.

Great mindfulness activity!

it’s already weird enough that my little sister is graduating let alone thinking about my own kids! @tyme Ahhh

also can I have a hot chocolate please - not staying for much longer but long enough for a hot beverage and maybe a cookie if you got any???

Everyone should have a hydration bladder backpack, even just for long walks or hiking, they're very practical, you carry them on your back, and as they empty you can refill them, and you don't lose them anywhere.

Hey @Abner , sounds like you are in a really good place! Certainly looking after yourself! I wouldn't mind having a quiche, and dirty chais lol.

Too good!

[ArraDreaming]

They are great we used to do a lot of small hikes and walking (a bit more time poor now sadly but want to get more into it) and they are always handy! @Abner 

[tyme]

Sure @ArraDreaming ! I've only just baked some homemade cookies! An assortment in fact!

Take your pick! And of course, you can have your hot choc - made just for you!

[ArraDreaming]

Thanks @tyme

trying to put my phone down at night and watch a movie or something with my partner instead so I think will take that hot chocolate with me! And the cookies. 
Have a good night thanks for the chat and you too @Abner

Yes @ArraDreaming and @tyme, we humans are a bit like cats in that we need to be reminded to hydrate with water rather than juice or softdrinks. Do you know that we make better choices when we're properly hydrated. People don't realise that having a hydration bladder full of water and sipping on it when you're at the shop or supermarket will positively influence your purchasing decisions because you're not stressed.

Thanks for the reminder @Abner ...I'm a bit bad in scoffing coke... I really honestly appreciate the reminder to stay hydrated with WATER.
