Contemplating a Coffee-Free Month
I love coffee. I need to state that clearly and simply before I go on. When I have breakfast with my daughter, I have a cup of coffee. When I have lunch with my daughter, I have a cup of coffee. When I first sit down to work, I have a cup of coffee. I love everything about coffee. I love the way it smells, the way it looks, the way it looks back at me and says, “You need another sip of me. I am delicious.” But, lately, I haven’t been feeling well. I’ve noticed that I’ve been more tired in the afternoon, not sleeping well at night and very jumpy. All that on 3 cups of coffee a day. So, I’m toying around with the idea of not having coffee for a month to see how it makes me feel.
So, for the two of you who read my blog, what do you think? Should I take a break from coffee for a month? Let me know. I’m thinking of starting November 1.
Thanks for reading.

Hey Joe,
I just accidentally went off caffeinated coffee. I know – how can you do that – but I did. I bought a different brand because I couldn’t make it to the store that has Seattle’s Best. I just figured the strange taste was because it was an off brand, but it was partially due to it being decaf. I didn’t know why I was almost falling asleep while driving in the middle of the afternoon. I figured my kids were just driving me so crazy that I had headaches for a couple days. And then I saw the little “decaf” label on the package. a-ha! mystery solved. I figured it’s better for me so at least as of yet I haven’t gone back. I, too, love me a good cup of coffee, but decaf is sufficient for the moment. Chalk up 1 vote for give it a shot, but not of espresso.
