This is what I had this afternoon – African herbal tea from Starbucks. Total number of herbal teas today – 3. I’m learning that the taste of coffee, first of all, is what I crave. But secondly, I am also drawn to coffee because I crave something hot to drink after a meal or very early in the morning. Tonight, before I went back to church for a meeting, my wife made a delicious dinner. My initial instinct was to chase down the meal with a hot cup of coffee and drink it on the way to the meeting. I caught myself wanting the cup but I stopped myself.
How am I feeling? I feel pretty good actually. Much better than the day before. The 2-3pm sluggish hour was not existent today. I was able to get my work done without feeling tired or sleepy. The real test is tomorrow when I have to read over 100 pages for seminary. Will I get sleepy and tired? Will I blame my sleepiness on coffee or the material I’m reading? Hmm… I guess we’ll just have to find out.
Thanks for reading.
