Anyone? Please stab me in the eye!

Well, we won’t be doing that again! Geesh! Here I was all gung-ho! Raw, Raw, No Coffee, No nothing, just twigs and berries…..

The headache I endured yesterday was so debilitating. As I slept I had dreams of crackers, coffee and caffeine pills.

The day wasn’t all bad. First thing in the morning, before the dreaded coffee headache had time to begin, Sage and I went Liberty Park to play in the water, and fountains. He had so much fun, I wish I brought my camera to share pictures with you.  Next time, promise!

I of course, am a nervous wreck thinking about the bacteria in the water, giardia, etc… (will someone give her a Zoloft please!).  I brought my book, Power of Now, by Ekhart Tolle. This is where I noticed something wasn’t right. I just couldn’t focus, the words on the page made no sense to me, I texted Billy:

Red: I can’t focus on anything, my brain feels cloggy, must be no coffee

B: I made you coffee silly, you didn’t drink it?

R: No, I feel like shit when I drink coffee

B: Oh, back to no coffee…..again! lol

R: Yea, I feel bloated and nasty when I drink it, I don’t want to feel that way. I will have only good coffee, out, special occasions

R: But, now my head is hurting and I can’t focus and I feel like crap anyway

R: The Boy looks like he needs a hamburger, he is too skinny

R: Are you having a hard time keeping up with this text

R: Hello?

R: Must suck texting from a regular cell phone  (haha, rubbing my T-mobile Dash full Qwerty keyboard in his face!)

B: Yea, it sucks texting from a regular phone. You should just drink it, seems like you feel like shit either way.   (he is like the devil on myshoulder, “yea, drink it, yea, do it, yum, coffee! coffee” )

When we got home, I downed a soda, and made 2 cups of tea, took a total of 5 Aleve, 6 Sinus pills and layed in bed for the rest of the day (this is very unlike me, I nap, but, don’t lay around).  Hmmm….. maybe the 1 cup of coffee would have been better then what I ingested instead! The pain I endured! The misery.

I have given up coffee before, but, this was the worst. Crazy how are body becomes dependent on what we give it. The dependency that my physical self feels is reason enough alone to want to give it up.  Just for spite, haha.

For now, here I sit typing with a LARGE cup o’ joe, yes, fully laden with cream and sugar.

I promise I will have berries and twigs for breakfast though

Enjoy some Coffee with Blue Turtle Seduction, my absolute favorite band, out of South Lake Tahoe
