    Ah I broke my no caffeine streak the other day. I had a task I needed to power through (which historically, caffeine has always done the job) but instead it just got me super anxious and I procrastinated on other tasks

    Being an adult is fulfilling your obligations, and I’m now wondering if I’ve changed much from that anxious teenager who’d rather build a lego fort than do their homework. This year needs to END.

    I’ve got a few deadlines creeping up, so I thought I’d do some work over the weekend - and I’m happier for it.

    I forgot what it’s like to work on the weekend, just doing stuff at your own pace, no stress, no new messages derailing you to prioritize something, just taking the time to do the task properly.

    And once you’re done you can just enjoy the rest of the weekend, guilt-free.

    I used to do this a lot in my last job where my hours weren’t micromanaged, but stopped in my current job where they’re really tight on hours and forgot that I liked going to work on the weekend.

    Whipped, I know

    I’ve been fighting a flu for the past two weeks, and since then haven’t touched caffeine because of how it makes my throat all raw and choke-y.

    Today is the first day I feel relatively fine, I didn’t oversleep (I work nights) and rose up with the glorious winter sun. Normally I’d be stumbling about, reaching for a heavy brew of the brown stuff staring into my phone, and stressing about the day to come.

    This time it’s different. I have energy, but not from the caffeine. I’m happy even, just drinking in the morning winter sun.

    We’ll see how long I last this time without caffeine, but for now I’m enjoying it

    I knew one weird German guy who celebrated Thanksgiving, and for some reason he invited me over every year to watch football (go Bazooka Sharks?) and sample his delicious Turkey. We had nothing in common (I don’t do sportsball and his politics makes me stare into the horizon and sip beer), but gosh his turkey and pumpkin soup was great
