Frozen Creek

This amazing little creek I had never noticed in all the times I had passed it by at the Elm Ave Town Park.

Maybe my problem is overnight oatmeal after all 🍜

|

I was thinking some more about when I’m having problems with excessive pissing, especially on road trips. I realized one thing that has changed recently — my use of overnight oatmeal for a quick filling breakfast before road trips. There is a lot of water absorbed in the oatmeal, especially when I dump the water into a storage container, then fill with oatmeal. While by morning it doesn’t look like much water, a lot of it has been absorbed by the oatmeal, and unlike oatmeal cooked in the microwave, virtually none of the water boils off in a sealed container sitting in the refrigerator overnight. Combined with a few cups of coffee, I can see why it keeps me running to the pisser.
