6 days to go

I have been dared to give up caffeine. When you have three essays and two days, this is a difficult task.

Day one

12:00pm (I know, I know) Shuffled to the kettle and the realisation set in. Had already got milk out. Smelt coffee jar anyway. Made self some hot juice, which did nothing. In an attempt to wake self up, necked a bit of the neat juice, which resulted in gagging and then just a tiny bit more because it was so nice and sweet.

2:00pm: Flitting around at lunchtime whilst everybody else had tea. More juice.

2:15: Thought I must start essaying. Went to the toilet. Pee was surprisingly long.

2:30: Toilet again. Pee was also long and not yellow. Perhaps should drink more in future.

2:45: Mike in his ignorance made me cup of tea. Was on a roll and ruthlessly threw it away.

3:00: Spent 12 minutes staring at eye-bags in mirror, pawing face.

3:13: Webcammed to friend who told me I looked tired.

4:00: More juice, more pee. This drinking lark is a good plan. Makes for more procrastinating in making and disposing of the liquid.

4:30: Had first glass of still, pure water in months. Was tasteless and made me cold.

6:30: X factor time (shut UP). Did not have caffeine. Realised when ears popped and throat tingled that was getting third cold this autumn. Realised probably have auto-immune disorder or some-such. Suggested AIDS to Mike who frowned at me.

9:30: After dinner (tasteless spaghetti bolognaise without cup of tea) Mike went to shop to get lempsip after I lamented on sofa about headache. I don't really think it's linked to caffeine withdrawal. No.

9:45: Mirror. Teeth look whiter already.

Now: May just go to bed. A grand total of 4.5 hours earlier than last night.

Addicted, me?
