Caffeine

My doc says that I can have two servings of caffeine a day which means two cups of coffee or one diet coke (really all the variety I would drink otherwise). This was all well and good when I was dying of thirst and drinking water like a camel, but I have not been nearly as thirsty lately and therefore my attention has turned to diet coke. Seriously, could it be more distracting? It might not help that I have a coworker who drinks 3-4 cans a day, or that the sound of a pop can makes my mouth water.

I do really enjoy coffee also, so the problem comes down to which one I have each day. Since its one or the other, it gets to be a hard choice. My current attempt at fixing this is the purchase of a twelve pack of caffeine free diet coke. It does wonders!! We'll see how long it "fills the need" since its not the real deal.

And today, I got a coffee from Caribou (favorite coffee place. ever). Here's the thing though - I ALWAYS get the white chocolate mocha, medium, with skim milk. Always. But then my seester got plain coffee with sugar and cream, and it was delicious (not to mention half the price). So I ventured out on my own and confidently  sheepishly ordered a plain coffee, hoping I could make the magic happen with the right combo of sugar and half/half.

IT WORKED. And I loved it! Goodbye $4.50 drinks, hello $2 drinks!

Baby steps people. You can't expect me to just love plain black coffee right away right?

So creamed coffee, caffeine-free diet coke, some water thrown in there.... no wonder I am using the restroom every half hour.
