Melanie, decaffeinated

Day 6 of weaning from caffeine

Taking an unflattering picture of myself that isn’t so horrible that I don’t want to post it is hard.  Does this picture express how tired I feel?  Remind me again why I’m doing this?

I’m down to 1 part leaded to 6 parts unleaded which was what I was planning on being the last stage.  Good news, no headaches or flu like symptoms that I experienced when going cold turkey (you’d think that kind of withdrawal would scare me from getting back on it, nope).  Like the other times, I’m not craving coffee like I normally would.  One cup satisfies me where before I’ve been known to cry when I thought there was a full cup in the pot but there was only a few drips.

I do know this tired stage will go away and I’ll have more energy than before.  I just have to keep reminding myself of that.  It doesn’t really help when the house is a disaster, I’m too tired to care and I have important company coming over on Wednesday.  Maybe I’ll be up for cleaning tomorrow…
