Thanks to a reminder from a friend, I remembered only this morning that today is my last day of going without coffee!! When I started my little mini-detox from coffee at the beginning of the month, I didn't know whether I was going to turn into a raging lunatic in the mornings or if I was just going to sleep through my days. If my parents were any example, I should have probably taken 2 weeks off when I started this little project! Often enough for the first few days I was admittedly sluggish, and I almost felt like I was plodding through a jello-world on the time/space continuum (without the sweet-suga' payoff!). After that though things kind of went back to normal (says I). My office-mate Nick very politely told me that I wasn't as 'friendly and chatty' for the first few days - of course I then felt the need to apologize to the guy... he's just a poor psych intern student after all! Come to think of it, maybe he was actually telling me he was finally getting some peace in the mornings instead of my non-stop chattering! Hmm...
I did miss coffee though. I missed the yummy flavour, the warm nudge, and I missed carrying my babba everywhere with me!! So after 2 weeks I can say that I don't turn into a beast without coffee, and I can still get through my days in a relatively productive fashion. I didn't sub in any other caffeinated bevvies in that time either, I've just been drinking decaf green and white tea, plus a whole lotta water. It's good to know though that I don't need coffee to get by in the day (other than the bleary-eyed beginnings that come without it initially!).
I tell you this though... I sure am looking forward to that nice hot mug tomorrow... maybe I'll also pack a thermos!! Poor Nick...
