you have to be strong if you're going to be stupid...

Friday night, had a really solid night of busking. Just less than $100 on the night, and it was still kind of nippy out. Woke up in the morning, got coffee, did laundry, had a little more caffeine, then went to the birthday party of one of Kelly's coworkers, had a philly cheesesteak sandwich and some pasta with cheese. Drank a beer for that. By

short of an IV, probably the best thing you can do is drink up on water or gator/powerade or something like that.

I have a tendancy to get dehydrated, due to my pop addiction and the fact that I just don't drink enough water. I really should work on that.

[benponder]

I've been doing the gatorade thing all day. The muscle soreness is a bit better, but I've still got a headache. I'm wondering if maybe I'm hydrated but getting a migraine. Dehydration/hangover/migraine all feel the same to me, that throbbing at the back of my skull.

BTW, how was the cheesesteak?

I'm always on the lookout for a good philly, but many places I've tried just haven't hit the spot...

[benponder]

cheesesteak was excellent. You should go try it.

[jayj79]

from where did you obtain it?

[benponder]

Mainly Lou's

there is that stuff they give babies who have bad diahreha...um....shit what is it called...it like similac or something like that...it is basicly water with all kindsa vitamins and corbohidrates and stuff...it is in a tall rectangular bottle...the stuff is clear or it comes in fruity flavors

[benponder]

brilliant, I hadn't even thought of that! We're about to go make a pharmacy run anyway, I'll have to pick up some of that. Similac sounds familiar, but for some reason I want to say enfamil. I don't know, I'll ask the pharmacists when we get there. Thanks.

[jayj79]

Pedialyte is what I heard of for rehydration.
similac and enfamil are like formulas (substitutes for breast milk), I think, and not what you're looking for (well, maybe you are. if you're into that sort of thing)

[benponder]

yeah, it was pedialyte. Got a bottle and chugged it, feel a lot better. I might have to make that a regular pre-gig thing. Kinda vile, but hydrates me without gunking up my throat. If I want breastmilk, I'll get it myself direct from the source :P

Where were you busking at? I was at The Blue Room last night, singing kareoke.
