I did something stupid yesterday. I worked outside in the garden,
ignored how sweaty, tired and achy I felt, told myself I was just being
lazy by putting off necessary work, didn't realize until I was sick, had
slept most of the afternoon and was watching the weather reports that I
damn near gave myself heat exhaustion by working in the sun on the
hottest and most humid day of the year. I was drinking water and orange
juice, but not nearly enough. I didn't think of breaking out the
Gatorade which I keep on hand until today. Yech! That stuff tastes
like medicine. O.K., under the circumstances, it IS medicine, but is
there an alternative that doesn't taste so bad? I'd like something that
has the proper electrolyte balance and is recommended for treating
stomach distress (which I had only a little) and overheating (which I
was well on way to).
