Crochet and Water Challenge

A couple of months ago my sister did her first craft vendor show and made some money. She hasn't done one lately but has one coming up at the beginning of September. I have been working on some floral coasters with baskets. My sister bought the patterns. I have a bunch of baskets made and over 60 of the floral coasters. I'm not done with either one yet. I am saving on shipping costs because my mom is driving up for vacation at the end of next month. My sister keeps sending me things on Pinterest to crochet to sell. I told my sister to take out half of the table fee and the money she spent on the patterns from what she sells out of the floral coasters and baskets. Wyatt wants me to make him a basket and 7 coasters. I have the basket and 3 of the coasters made already. I've been making his in between the ones I am selling. If it takes me a week to complete it'll take me a week.

Let's do a camp update! Wyatt had a blast at camp and made it all week. He was late the last day because I was having trouble with the truck. The battery died. Mom couldn't leave work. I called my friend Jaime because she's the only one in the area that I'm friends with that has a car. She didn't pick up the first few times and Wyatt and I ended up starting to walk. I called Claudia to see if Jaime was with her but she wasn't yet. She called me while I was talking to Claudia. She did pick Wyatt and I up and took Wyatt to camp. I did some exercises. I had my quickest 5K on the rowing machine. 3.11 miles in 29:22. I am super proud of myself. I weighed myself that Saturday, like I usually do, and I was up 3 pounds. I don't understand it. It could be sodium or stress or water retention. It could be bloating.

I have been challenging myself to increase my water intake. I don't know if the way I have been feeling, like the tiredness, is due to not drinking enough water. Since I have been consciously trying to increase my water intake I have been feeling a bit less tired. I have this bigger timer bottle that I have tried to drink at least 1 full one plus a little more. Then I switched to the 100 ounce polar pop bottle that I had bought last year from Circle K. I do drink a full bottle plus a 30 ounce bottle in the morning. Sometimes I drink a little more after I have finished the 100 ounce bottle. I do have an appointment August 1st to get some blood work done to check my hormones. I have a list of what I want checked.
