Five minute freewrite by @myjob
This is my post for #freewriters Wednesday prompt dry mouth hosted by @mariannewest
No fishing today because we were out of bait. My husband put his boat overboard and run the pigfish traps. They caught good, he got 480 bait. We have holding pens that we put them in until we use them. Every day we feed them one or two blue crabs depending on how many are in the holder.
I woke this morning with one of the worst cases of dry mouth. I was glad that my husband had already left because I do not think I could say anything. I took a swallow of water and that helped. Maybe I am getting dehydrated. After having my coffee and waiting on 9 o'clock to get here, I drove to the fish house and when I got there they had the entire parking lot filled with vats that they were filling with ice.
I sat there waiting until one of the workers brought a forklift over to my truck and got the cooler of fish. We did not catch much yesterday, only 48 pounds.
When I got back home, I only did yard work. My husband was telling me about a black and yellow grasshopper carcass he saw and said he wondered if they shed as snakes or crabs do. Today I found one just like he told me about. I guess they do shed.
Hi myjob,

Do you suffer from high blood pressure? Sometimes dry mouth is a product of that, so you did well to drink water, that helps.
Do you live in Alaska? It seems that way, from the programs on TV that I have seen where they fish and take crabs. It is very interesting for a person on the other side of the world what you do, maybe it is boring for you, but I want you to know that sharing your daily life is something that is very positive and that other people in the world like me.
I thank you for sharing your life, I like it very much, I will follow you from now on.
I have left you my humble support.
Thank you for your kind words and support, you made me feel good. Also, I started taking pills one week ago because my blood pressure has been high, all my life it has been low. I did not mention the dry mouth to the doctor because I thought that maybe I was sleeping with my mouth open. I will now tell her about it. I live in Florida, 3rd generation fisherman and the last. Again thank you.
I hope you feel better today, and it is important to tell your doctor about the dry mouth. And for me it is a pleasure to talk to you.
Thank you, I will tell her but will not see her until August, I see the nurse next week. I will tell her about it. My pleasure talking to you, too.
Very well, please take good care of yourself and if it is not a problem, keep me informed about your health my good friend.
I will, I try to write whatever is going on in real life.
