Coffee. Java. Joe. Espresso. Latte.
We all know that caffeine is a stressor, making us perky and/or agitated, depending on how you look at things. Lately I've been having trouble sleeping (I mean more than usual), leading me to think that I should be more disciplined about my coffee intake (note that I didn't say cut back) since I'm already stressed about my exams.
And then I came across this cost of coffee calculator.
My one-cup-a-day habit could get very costly if I buy all my coffee from a coffee shop. It doesn't help that I've developed a taste for the expensive stuff, either. Turns out the coffee at Tim Horton's is not good enough for Mary, and neither is the coffee at Second Cup or Starbucks. No, I have to love the coffee at a local Italian coffee bar. Said coffee bar serves some of the best. coffee. ever. Yes, it is more expensive, but you also get better coffee and generally more caffeine per volume.
And how bad is it that I know of more than 10 coffee houses within a four-block radius of my apartment?
While I am reasonably sure that I don't have a problem (yet?), I will consciously make an effort to make coffee at home more, drink less of it in general, and refrain from drinking any coffee after 2 p.m. If things go well, I might even be able to cut back (gasp!) to one cup every other day. No guarantees about that, though. The withdrawl headaches are a killer.

Hahaha, one of the engineers had to cut himself off the juice. He was getting such bad withdrawl headaches on the weekend so he's had to ween himself off and then slowly re-introduce it at a normal level.
What happened to the tea?
Man, when I first read Nat's post, I thought she said one of the geers was having withdrawal symptoms from juice... not THE juice, just juice.
