I don’t feel like writing an update, but it’s been a couple days again and I don’t totally want to quit this so here goes.

Today was enjoyable, but not a day I want to repeat anytime soon. I woke up early and got out of bed because I was done sleeping by 8 am. I then stayed up for a while, drank some coffee, made some eggs and read before trying to take a nap in the early afternoon. I wasn’t able to nap well so I got up and watched some tv. M, A and I then decided to run some errands and go shopping. After a round of showers we left the house at 4 pm. We didn’t get back until after midnight. We went to Costco, then Marshall’s and TJ Maxx, followed by TGIFridays and Wal-Mart. Although I enjoyed hanging out with M and A, I got pretty bored spending what felt like all day in stores (and boring stores at that!). I don’t think anyone really anticipated the adventure today was going to become, but next time I’ll know better and hopefully just choose to stay at home. It was a lot.

I’ve been drinking excessive amounts of caffeine lately. I drink coffee in the morning and continue drinking diet soda the rest of the day. This has really just come about in the last 2 weeks or so. It needs to stop. I feel like I’m on a roller coaster. I drink caffeine, feel hyper and optimistic about life, only to crash a while later and either want to nap wherever I happen to be or drink more caffeine. It definitely is a valuable tool on days I sleep way too much and can’t seem to get out of my funk, but now it’s just gotten way out of control. Tomorrow I’m going to start weaning myself down. I probably can’t go cold turkey, but I could definitely limit myself to a couple cans of soda instead of drinking a zillion of them on top of coffee. I know it’s for the best. I don’t like the ups and downs that have been associated with all the caffeine. I feel edgy and at times like I can’t stand being or doing whatever it is I happen to be doing at any given moment. I’m definitely going to be done with it soon. I hope anyway. It can be tricky to get myself off it again once I’ve gone a while abusing it. I’ll hope for the best and try to take some baby steps these next few days.

I have no plans for tomorrow and I really like that. It’s going to be an awesome day. Hopefully one that includes much sitting around the house and relaxing. I finished a book today and have another I want to start tomorrow.
