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.

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

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

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.

I drink half-cafTJ's half caf is good. If you are looking for sources. Of course this is not surprising as their decaf is also good but their half caf is all premixed... I have both in my freezer.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay! for J&E!
Yay! and congratulations to Brenda!
Thank goodness, and thank you for checking in, Raq. I never had a problem distinguishing which RPG, which I'm not really happy about. I'd be glad if war was role-play rather than rockets and grenades.
Coffee-ma, Cindy. I've found a chai latte that I lovelovelove, and they'll make it up for me with erzatz tea. I could probably steep straight cardamom and cinnamon with skim milk or vanilla silk and get the same result. But then cardamom probably makes your frammis gland turn inside out--you can't win.
