Getting a glass of water

It's Monday, the first of July I have big plans to drink more water Maybe my big plans are small plans Maybe we only ever need small plans Ahh I forgot already, I'll definitely do it I distracted myself by taking vitamins (without water x 3) It's still only 8:54am, I can continue to dream big (Did you know dream autocorrects to drown?! What is the universe telling me?) I stood in a puddle but survived, I should look where I'm going I'm carrying a scooter under my arm, which is thirsty work (instructed to under no circumstances scoot on it. It's folded as a precautionary measure) Just thinking, if I procrastinate over drinking water that I'll achieve loads... I could trick myself into a major life overhaul whilst enduring dehydration or maybe I'll just grab a glass of water (I'm tricking myself into drinking water right now) If I was a fairy I'd drink out of flowers, as it is I'm someone who has to give out important advice to others for a job, so I'll put my key in the door, put down the scooter, say hello to the dog, grab a glass of water (and an actual breakfast) and switch on the laptop and start saying sensible things (most likely -unless it's a team meeting and then I'll talk about... *me diving into a completely non hydrating tangent*)

This sounds like your everyday voice and makes this so endearing and although made to seem shallow, it is rather deep...(continuing your h2o theme ha) You have such dry humor! I love it!We make big plans don't we? I'll bet you are excellent at your job! Xo

Thank you Crystol, I find it amusing to sometimes capture inner dialogue as I always wonder how mine differs from the next person. Deciding to drink more water is quite common, but maybe no one else ponders it quite so much! (Just as I was walking back from school) The funny thing to me is I'm having all these nonsense thoughts then in the next breath advising someone about a serious event. I suppose similar thinking patterns occur but overlaid differently. It's weird how we know the best things to do but avoid doing it even when it's easy. Thanks for your comment :)
