Not often do I have a combination day of coffee and chocolate.
Coffee is not my preferred beverage and I seldom drink it. In the midst of the morning’s activities, I combined coffee with chocolate, not realizing what most people know. Two shots of caffeine are better than one! And one is more than enough for me.
By mid afternoon (the morning repast was in my blood system by then) I was well on the way to a day of busy-ness. Not that there weren’t things to be done – there were.
Every once in while I would look to see how the time was going. Way too fast! And so I ended up skimming past coffee break (good thing – didn’t need more coffee!), into the supper hour and past the nine o’clock hour without feeling a need for a break.
The operative word here is “need” for a break. By 10:00 in the evening I was starting to yawn, and I sensed the caffeine had worn off.
As unusual as this event was, I’m just not sure being artificially pumped up is the best way to complete all the tasks of a day. Which makes me wonder how a Tim Horton’s society survives!
At a fast pace, but at what price?
Addictions are very easy to achieve…we only have to allow them to happen. Then before it is realized, our bodies NEED the substance. Glad you are questioning the necessity of the addiction to caffiene. It would be nice if we could all do that with all substances and behaviors that become addictive.
I did. The grandchildren came to visit, and so did some of my ferinds, and my offspring sent me a $50 gift certificate for Amazon. So I was well taken care of. Should I admit that I spent the gift certificate finishing my collection of Buffy and buying one season of Angel? I never watch TV shows while they are on; I wait till they are off and somebody insists on showing me the DVDs of one season, and then I decide whether I want to buy the whole thing. That way I don’t get caught up in such a way that I get hysterical if I don’t get home in time to see my TV show, as a certain man who lives not very far away from me like ten feet used to do until I promised I would buy him all the seasons of The Closer! He now has them.Anne
