Don't stop drinking coffee even when your mother wants you to

21 Shares

I was going to quit drinking coffee, my mother suggested I quit. Because my mother thought I should stop drinking coffee, I went out that same day and had a cup of coffee. Don’t tell me what to do.

Last night I stayed awake until 2:30 this morning. I drank coffee late in the afternoon and the caffeine kept me awake.

Today all I wanted to do was drink coffee. Craving coffee. Thinking of coffee. coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee

Day one with no coffee

I fought the desire and didn’t drink coffee today. I also didn’t do anything creative. I didn’t write on my book, no words to count. And I didn’t paint.

I did clean the seven litter boxes.

My youngest also wanted me to tell you I yelled today. I told her, “I can’t write about that.” But, to be fair to her, I did tell you. Now you know. I was crabby today. Not creative, just crabby.

One day at a time. Tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow will be day two with no coffee. And I will keep counting. Then day three, and day four. And I will walk past the coffee shop in my favorite store and not buy a double. And I will take care of my brain.

I use to drink decaf. Then half-caff, then full caff, and then a double. Then two doubles in one day.

Good-bye coffee

Good-bye coffee. It has been fun.

Now I will drink water. And get a good nights sleep. Hopefully, my mother won’t tell me water is good for me, or that I need to get a good nights sleep. I hate being told what to do. Even if they are right.
