Caffeine Detox - Winter '09/'10

I'm taking a month off from coffee between the Fall & Spring semesters. EEK! :D

Day 1
A Saturday - LOTS of sleep, LOTS of black tea, and a bit of advil. :)

Day 2
Sunday - Church snowed out. More sleep. More black tea. Went shopping at Montgomery Mall and had to take advil and buy a bubble tea to combat a headache - reminded me of one of the reasons I'm doing this detox: it's annoying to have to stop and buy caffeine every 4 hours.

Day 3
Monday - Work closed due to the snow. Again, lots of sleep. Black tea throughout the day. I basically just sip it allll day.

Day 4
Tuesday - Less sleep because of work. Black tea in the morning. Evening was really hard...caved and had 6 advil and a cup of pepsi all in one evening. :P

Day 5
Wednesday - Again, up semi-early for work. Black tea in the morning only and just one dosage of advil around noon. :)

Day 6
Thursday - CHRISTMAS EVE!
Up early for work, this time at CLC not Archives. Making my tea right now at work... And it's already 9:30! :) Only slight signs of a headache coming. And for once I'm kind of excited about the fact that I get to choose to drink tea - I'm not forced to drink coffee.

Goals for the coming days:

Day 7: CHRISTMAS. So I can have some tea. :)
Day 8: Saturday - No tea. Lots of Advil.
Day 9: Sunday - I'll be up early for tech. Driving to NJ in the afternoon. Soda for the drive is ok.
Day 10: Monday - In NJ. Tea ok.
Day 11: Tuesday - In NJ. Tea ok.
Day 12: Wednesday. Back from NJ. No tea/coffee/anything.
Day 13: Thursday. Coffee. :) Because I'm doing Kate's wedding reception and I always drink caffeine when I do a wedding job...It's just better for everyone involved. :P :D
Day 14: Two week marker. No tea/coffee/anything from now on until the 1st day of school.
