Not quite two gallons a day

All I know is that one person lives at my residence (ME!) and I have seven empty five gallon water bottles that are ready to be recycled.

Actually now that I think about it, I MAY have hit the two gallon a day mark.

And sometimes you have to wait a bit to see what that trend actually is. Did I freak out when I hit that period of decline late last summer (2nd decline period)? Without a doubt!

And when my levels dropped to 23 at the beginning of this year, I'd been through enough to stop and ask myself what was going on. In this instance, I'd been put on a diuretic for five days to take care of some water retention....
