None Coffee for 4

Feeling fine still.
I always hit this point where i miss coffee for the routine and the smell. Tea just isnt the same.
I actually enjoy coffee as its own beast, not just a caffeine hit.

Getting off to sleep was a challenge again. Wide awake for an hour. Work tonight as well so im interested to see how I fare.

Big day tomorrow as well. I know id have had a coffee to prepare for that, so thatll be an empty spot too.

Biggest issue at the moment is the stupid cold. Its colder than normal so all i want is a lovely beverage.

Coffee free day 03

I forgot to write earlier.

Fairly smooth sailing today. I made myself a bit crook with a flavoured milk but other  than then that im feeling pretty good. I did break and have two glasses of coke though so that's a bit of a cheat i guess.
I only had two teas though so i think thats fair.

I have noticed though that when its time to sleep at night im not tired at all. Night shift mode engage i guess, because i was laying in bed for at least an hour before j got bored and got up again. Took another 40 minutes to try again.

Im a little scared that without coffee to force myself into the pattern of the day i will remain terribly disjointed in my day to day dealings.

Tricky
Day two

Last night was hard. Irritable, pacing the kichen knowing i had exactly what i felt like i needed right there. That the comfort of routine and what my neural receptors were craving was within 3 minutes worth of effort.
That this was silly, that there was nothing wrong with anything and i should just bloody have a coffee should i so desire one.

I think i had about 6 cups of tea.

Headache is much milder, and merely feels like im wearing a hat when a haircut has been too long due.

Other bodily concerns are harder to track;
I work nights. 8pm until 530am, 4 nights a week - 2 on 2 off 2 on 1 off.
Im basically running like a Typically Scheduled Person's 3am at any given time of day. Its a hard way to operate. Consequently its hard to work out what is out of whack and tired from day to day what have yous and what is the missing kick of coffee.

I already miss the kick.. but its not even a kick when you rely on it. i want the peaks and troughs out so i can regulate my own moods and energy.

Time for a tea i think.

Coffee Free Thirty Days

For no particularly sane reason my wife and i have elected to go coffee sans for now. Im mentally titling this as a 30 dayd challenge because fixed targets are easier to hit than 'for ever'

Im so far 15 hours past when i would normally have had a crappy work coffee and im certainly feeling it.
8 of those hours were asleep.
Five and a half of those hours were the remainder of my shift, by the end of which i was already starting to feel that something was missing.. that receptora were agitated and flavours were not being achieved

So having woken up i have two kinds of headache.
The first is the Too Tired To Operate My Eyeball Properly ache which feels like a dagger through my left eye and exiting about 2 metres behind me
Normally this is achieved by ling sessions in front of a screen, usually gaming til the wee hours but also achievable by cannonballing an entire tv series

The second is the Someone Swapped My Skull For That of a Kitten. Most would call this a head in a vice ache, but i feel like someone has stuffed my grown adult brain into a vessel designed for giant eyes and adorable head tilting.

I do not feel adorable.

Checking in

Damn nearly forgot! Well technically I did, but here I am none the less.  I aint slept so its the same day so it counts, godsdammit.

Checking in

Nothing much to say. Just punching the clock again really. Life goes on, and on.

Reporting in

Nothing much really.  Im 11 days into no coffee, and 7 days into creating  positive habits for myself. Thus far I have done 7 days of exercise, and today is my first day of writing something every day for a week.

Peace.
