Detox

Now approaching Hour 36 without caffeine.

I decided it was high time for a detox when I felt sleepy, drank a triple cappuccino to wake up, and was still dragging.

This is not good. Especially when the triple came from The Fourth Coast, which are notorious for making strong drinks. I was drinking between one and three coffees or coffee drinks a day — morning, 3pm and 9pm, usually homemade in my cute little steam-driven Krups not-quite-real-cappuccino-maker.

I’m surprisingly fine. No headaches yet, and I feel great, if a little unfocused. I did go to bed at 11pm last night, which is about two hours early, no doubt because I didn’t have my usual evening coffee. I figure it’s just my bod finally returning to a normal cycle after hyperdrive.

Of course, this is just to reset my tolerance, so that I don’t need so much for it to be effective. I figure I’ll be slave to the bean again in another two weeks.
