until about 2 days ago, i "drank' coffee strictly for the hoped for buzz; i cant even relate to people who drink coffee for the yucky taste.
by drinking coffee, for hoped for energy when I'm all depressed, i mean by sloppily putting instant crystals into coffee jar lid and just adding that to stuff i do like to drink, with about a shot glass size to gulp down....shot glass type size of soda, orange juice, tea, chocolate milk, with instant coffee crystals.
maybe 12 or 20 times a day, with at one point getting 4 hours of sleep, out biking in summer as sun came up at 5 in morning....with a second set of bags under my eyes, like in some cartoon.
coffee has lots of iron in it, though---which i only learned a couple days ago, when i started having health problems I'm still scared about. gonna be donating blood next month, when mobile van in town, cause donating blood supposed to cut down on iron---if i don't get rejected for excess iron.
no more coffee, at all period; even threw away the plastic jars i kept stuff in. today woke up with thought of having to shovel the sidewalk...need my coffee to do that, and remembered: no more coffee.

A tree outside where I live is dying, seemingly from dog urine----with the bully in my building going out his way to not only have his dog urinate there but to have the dog urinate on the fence and sign I bought to try save the tree----and then slide the sign under my apt door.Turns out that was a TRIGGER for me----bullying and humialtion right out of high school. I didn't realize it at the...
yes, tea is my new addiction; green or black tea.
and pistachio nuts---just came in from getting a bag of those, instead of any unhealthy snack. 2 hours from now to go out for more tomatoes, to eat 2nd pint of those today.
a pint of grape tomatos went down real easy today, with dollar, on sale, progresso tomato rossani soup.
I woke this morning thinking how its gonna be rough to do stuff without a coffee buzz, but I have no choice, seeing how I'm worried about my health.
I used to smoke, so many years ago, and to quite I promised myself that I would start again when I turned 65, 'cause, well at 65 your just about dead anyhow. 65 came and went and I'll put off starting for another year, or two. The first day is the hardest and with ever day it is easier, but every day the temptation gets greater. I concluded that I will always be a smoker, just between cigarettes. It's been over 40 years now and I don't want to go through that first day again!
