But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

What is even happening?

Big fucking gun. Unless you are youngish and then I would make something up. In which case, big freaking gun it is. Or big fella gun? Bug free gun?

Oh, it really is! I thought I was just being silly.

I try not to post like Cheney talks, in hopes that I'll stop talking like Cheney talks. Please to know the word doesn't offend me. It's rather like chocolate and coffee are, for me. I don't know when to stop, so I'm better off if I don't start. Some day, the dam is liable to burst and you'll come into the thread and see a post full of Cheneyisms.

In other news, despite my recent and mostly successful trip to Target, and the mall, my anxiety has sprung into overdrive over the last couple of weeks, and I'm suspecting it's mostly my fault because of my extreme caffeine abuse. I'm trying to cut down, so I can do thing like make it through a visit to my son's class, without having to make a pit stop at the nurse's office, because my sensors are so on hyper alert.

Dammit.

Because books.

Oh, Vortex. I bet the bathroom smells nice, though, huh?

Yay for brenda! Boo for no more insano office updates, though.

{{{Cindy}}}

God, if I thought caffeine would give me anxiety attacks, I would resign myself to going Cave!BuffyAmy and never leaving the house again.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Raq, so very glad y'all are okay. Phew.

Jess! Great news on the co-op!

Vortex, that sucks. I'm sorry.

YAY Brenda!

I hate my sinuses. That is all.

Yeah. But I've even felt a mild adrenaline (sp? don't care) at home. Scott's worked at home a lot since Christmas, so we go through the coffee sooner, so he makes a second pot. Now, if he went to work, I'd drink the lion's share of the first pot, but he does have a couple of cups, and I don't make more once it's gone. He doesn't have all that much more out of the second pot, but I still drink it 'til it's gone. And Tuesday, I had a nighttime meeting to attend, as well. At first, I resisted the coffee. I even resisted the (still warm when they arrived) homemade cookies my friend brought, because I knew I'd want to wash them down with coffee.

Then the meeting went on forever, and the room was cold. I finally had one cup, then another. I was suprised I went to sleep well, that night. But my bad-dest day was Wednesday, and I think my nervous system is just in full out revolt.

I drank coffee like a normal person yesterday, and then switched to O.J., and then water, and felt much, much better. I'm still shaky, because anxiety perpetuates itself, but I can tell the difference already.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh, it really is! I thought I was just being silly.
Pretty sure the game devs were as well. Sure, they were being twelve and giggling at the bad word, but they obviously knew their market because I still am occasionally amused by it years and years and years later.

Raq, I was glad to see that you'd checked in safe. Thanks for remembering to post to us.

Cindy, may you soon reach coffeelibrium.

Vortex, that sucks. I hate it when I watch the slo-mo disaster happen and can do nothing to prevent it.

{{{Cindy}}} I drink tea when I get anxious, and if I have too much, I can definitely feel it make my anxiety worse.

Cindy, I've pretty much given up full-caffinated coffee for the reasons you've been mentioning. It just wasn't worth the shakiness and anxiety. I drink half-caf at most and anything after noontime is decaf. Even then I limit my intake because some of the other things found in coffee just make my stomach yucky. I've started substituting various teas for coffee as a lot of the time all I want is something warm to drink. I've got a chai made with rooibos that is very nummy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm going to take some benadryl and go back to bed. Hopefully, I can get up before 3, because TCG is getting out early today and I'll feel so guilty if I am still in bed when he gets home.
