I try to avoid coffee when I have a cold or flu, under the theory that the diuretic properties of coffee would be bad when you really want to keep hydrated.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I have 1-2 large glasses of iced coffee in the morning and then often drink decaf iced tea all afternoon. I am not a good model for hydration.
mac slept in my bed last night which means I slept horribly.
I weeded for a little over an hour this morning. One tiny area of the yard. Never-ending work.

Art Crawl!!!
tommyrot - that makes sense but. . . I am not sick enough to not be at work which means that I must be awake and therefore -coffee.

msbelle, I generally listen to podcasts while I weed, et cetera -- any yard work that doesn't involve loud powertools, anyway.

I have just been enjoying the quiet and alone. I've met a couple of neighbors being out there. If I could weed all day I probably would right now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Guys, caffeinated drinks do not dehydrate you. The dehydration effects of caffeine are not enough to overcome the hydrating effect of the drink itself. So drink up! E.g.: [link]

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
ita, I am confused. Why doesn't the sleep specialist want you on Ambien if Ambien was working for you?
Oh and as to the rest of the conversation, I loves my coffee, I tell you what. Am going to go make another pot in a sec and do a bit of grading.
What? I only got one cup from the first pot. Stop looking at me that way.

Because books.
Looks like tea isn't bad, either. Whoot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Argh, I made it so long! But have now found out something that happens in Mad Men, which I hope to watch tonight. I will not say "spoiled" because I don't think it's the real point of the hour, but still. I tried.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why doesn't the sleep specialist want you on Ambien if Ambien was working for you?
Ambien wasn't working every night. So far, trazadone isn't working any night. Also, I think she's gotten more than a little excited about my migraines. Why does every doctor (apart from my pain specialists who could not care less and refuse to prescribe or endorse any pain meds) get so hot on them, like no one has ever tried before? The amount of time I spend going "I know, but..." and not feeling like they're listening is way too much.
I'm thinking I'll work out how much Red Bull has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee and drink that instead. I find it much more refreshing, and since it will have less volume, more space left over for my diluted juice.
