Caffeine and Chocolate Cold Turkey

"Often, people who are reducing caffeine intake report being irritable, unable to work, nervous, restless, and feeling sleepy, as well as having a headache."

Thirty six hours into cold turkey and I can report that progress is being made. I feel considerably better than I did yesterday, which was quite horrible. Chocolate and Mocha are my friends - any time of day they're there to be my comforter! Not only have they become part of my life routine, (the early morning coffee at the Cone Zone is a social ritual to start the day off), but I just really like the taste. Sitting here with a cup of Detox Tea, is not quite the same.

Yesterday's activity didn't help mind! Fin had a footie tournament down at Newquay, an all day affair. I think our supporters on the whole are quite reserved, those of other teams, not quite so! Standing next to them with a thumping headache is bad news! SO NOISY! And then we ended up at Wooden Waves the outdoor skatepark where I fell asleep in the car! So that's headache and sleepy accounted for. 'Unable to work, nervous, restless' - hm?

Janey's Mum and Dad have left to go to OZ for a couple of months - Janey's Nan lives in Brisbane. Sylv is brilliant with our boys and does so much to help. And Evan, is the practical man who can put his hands to anything. They're definitely going to be missed.
