Task 1

R gave me a task to complete today.
My ankles and lower legs have been swelling a lot lately (well, mostly every summer). I was feeling a bit down because we have a wedding to go to on Sunday and I wanted to look pretty in my new shoes.
R had me research Water Retention. I had to give him a report on the causes and possible treatments.

I think I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself.

R wanted me to do this because I was down. He wanted me to look at possible solutions to what was ailing me. This way I could start figuring out what was causing the problem as well as working to fix it.

It worked because it provided me knowledge. And knowledge is ever powerful!
