Coffee: A Slippery Slope
I woke up this morning very fatigued and generally feeling run down. I decided to work from home (couch + Christmas tree should always be part of my day workday), and take it easy so that I might ward off what might be getting sick. I was lethargic all day and just couldn’t seem to focus. I tried a nap, and that didn’t work. And then I did something CRAZY: I had a cup of coffee. My 2nd cup of coffee in two years. And like magic I’ve cranked out my entire day’s worth of work and I’m on to working on a personal project. The problem with this is coffee is a SLIPPERY SLOPE. I begrudgingly quite caffeine two years ago for my stomach (GERD), did that for about a year, and then started drinking green tea. My tummy does ok with green tea, but I really did enjoy no caffeine and waking up in the morning and BEING AWAKE. And now coffee!? Ugh. I loved not being a coffee drinker. My stomach loved me not being a coffee drinker. But GEEZ is it good for writing and focusing. Personal reminder: Must. Keep. This. In. Check.

I totally relate… I never drank coffee until two years ago. Even then I’d only drink it occasionally. Now I have it maybe three days a week, but I think about it EVERY morning. I’d like to completely stop but it makes me so productive…
