Today I tried to get by without making any coffee. The coffee maker is chugging away as I type this.
There was enough coffee left over from yesterday to have a cup this morning. I microwaved it and pretended that it was fresh. And that it would be enough. As of late, I’ve gone from drinking two cups of coffee a day to drinking three or four. While I have nothing against the delicious dark drink that makes my mornings happy, I know that being addicted to drinking that many cups of coffee each day isn’t necessarily the best health choice.
So I drank my one cup today. And I was ok at first. But by lunchtime, I was a grump. The kids were too noisy, Button kept bumping into my elbows, and I wanted to be very alone.
I finally caved when I noticed that I was starting to get a headache and that feeling that my brain just isn’t working right. So I guess for today anyway I’m maintaining my addiction. I’m doing it for the kids.
Oh My Goodness!!
I darnen’t tell you how many cups of coffee I make a day. I’d say about 20 cups – honest. I don’t necessary drink that many as I struggle drinking them when they have cooled somewhat. I’m quite addicted to making them. Coffee and cigarettes.
I have been think alot about cutting down. I kinda like the routine. I spend a fortune on coffee.
Thanks for posting this and getting me to think about my coffee intake.
