Day Two of No Caffeine

Yesterday was surprisingly not so difficult (though perhaps the medicine I took for my neck issues masked some of the pain or headache associated with lack of caffeine).

Yawning ferociously I was also a great grumpster (which was interesting as my co-worker has quit smoking so we were quite the pair!) but still I yanked and pushed about the boxes in the extra cold freezer and still I smiled largely for the seniors in to get their weekly discount.  (And I'm not sure if yesterday was a full moon but it seemed EVERYONE was asserting their negative moody-ness.)

Boss suggested milk thistle tea as part of the detox process.  Some dear soul online suggested a day or two of decaf...it still has a wee bit of caffeine and so is supposed to make the process slightly less deadly.  Yet another told me, bluntly, to expect utter hell for the next few days - the 3rd and 4th as the worst.

Made a juice jug filled with dandelion tea and lemon and chugged back a couple of mugs full already this morning as I spent time with the Lord. 

Kids bouncing on the mattresses in the living room. (Daughter is sleeping there as we re-paint her room.  What a process!  I have certainly learned the lesson that you never paint latex over oil - scraping that stuff is painstakingly horrid and time consuming and neck-injuring!  The eventual shade of pink will be the most luscious and appreciated ever...if only by those of us with bulging forearms and stiff muscles!)

Time to ring the "school bell" and start our walk on this briskly chilly morning.
