Just missed the fail!boat

I almost accidentally posted my spn_las contribution early, instead of posting the one from the challenge that already went by.

Maybe this whole "giving up coffee" thing wasn't such a good plan. :P

OOPS. LAS. Right. Well, I'm outta that game.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Aww, damn.

You know, it occurred to me to poke you about it, and then I forgot again.

This whole thing is not good for my inner eight-year-old, though. She keeps throwing tantrums. :P

GIVING UP COFFEE! o.O !

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I know, I know.

But I was mainlining, like, five to ten cups a day. So I quit, at least until it's all out of my system. I might pick it up again in the future, but I want to see if I can live without it for a while.

It's actually not been that hard. Mostly I miss my morning ritual. :)

I'm down from living on coffee to 3 cups a day, but still.
I'm pretty sure I'd be arrested for multiple heinous crimes if I gave it up entirely.
You are a braver and stronger woman than me. ;)

Hey, good for you! :)

It hasn't been so bad, honestly.

Giving up coffee is never a good thing. Although I've got to admit that 5 - 10 cups might be a bit much. Have you tried decaf or mixing it so it's half-caf?

Bummer about your challenge!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. I escape ruining the challenge by the skin of my teeth.

I am not fond of decaf. I actually quit coffee three weeks ago, and I'm doing okay. Had about 24 hours of nasty withdrawal, and now it's fine. :)

I may take it up again in another few weeks, once I'm certain I won't go right back to my ten-cup-a-day habit. ;)

*sputters into mug*

What? Giving up coffee?!?

BLASPHEMER!

It is by coffee alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of the java bean that thoughts acquire speed. The teeth acquire stains; the stains become a warning. It is by coffee alone I set my mind in motion.

*keels over laughing*

It's like the litany against fear, only with coffee!

Give that lady a sandworm shaped cigar!

Oh…wait…I guess that is just a cigar…

Shai-Hulud!

The spice is life!

Etc.

:D

I don't drink coffee (hate it, blech!) but life without caffeine in soda and tea forms is not to be contemplated.

Give up coffee??? I don't understand???

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking it's temporary...
