Not Good

After my little health scare a few weeks ago, I gave up caffeine. The doc said that I should reduce my caffeine and drink alcohol in moderation, so I decided to just give up caffeine. As for the alcohol… one step at a time doc, one step at a time. I have almost entirely stuck to caffeine free herbal teas when I feel like a hot drink but every once in a while I have a decaf Americano and savor the memory of coffee.

Last night I was out for a nice dinner with a friend and at the end of the meal I decided to have not one but two decaf lattes with dessert. By about midnight last night I was beginning to realize that I wasn’t tired, like at all, and at 1:30am I realized that it must be the decafs, but how could it? Well DECAF HAS CAFFEINE! WTF is up with that?

So today I am functioning on very little sleep, but I will not give in and have caffeine, or even decaf. Well, I might have one decaf …

Stupid decaf, with the caffeine and the tasty tasty coffee flavour … grumble, grumble grumble.

I got upset with the migraine medication I was prescribed, and instead of taking it, cut out caffeine, alcohol, salt, nuts, over the counter drugs, reduced sugar and fried things, and quadrupled my already-high intake of green vegetables and that, of course, sucked, but bang! Migraines gone. I've slowly re-introduced everything but coffee and alcohol, but I'm still not too sure how I feel about this.
