Sort of. I'm going to take it easy with the food coz I don't feel hungry, despite not having eaten (and retained) anything but a bowl of chicken both over the last two days. I take this as a sign to go slow.

About to enjoy another bowl o broth. Mmmm

Most of last night actually saw me concentrating more on staving off a terrible caffeine-withdrawl headache, from going a whole day without coffee. I can't imagine the last time that happened. Was snacking on Excederins, and even chewed on the Jolt gum that [livejournal.com profile] meerkitty happened to give me a while ago. Ironically, when I had enough to achieve equilibrium, I dropped into 8 hours of solid sleep.

a whole day wo coffee???

It's gonna be at least two days now... I actually bought a small black at this morning alongside some juice, but couldn't bear to even look at it when I got home. Diuretics are really really not what I need right now.

No withdrawal effects after day 1, though. (I am blaming my lack of energy on the fact I haven't been eating any food.) So it's an interesting bit of self-knowledge gained, at least.

well, you might want to consider green tea.

it's a superfood with a cape that is chok full of antioxidants and it's tasty as well.

Rah for jolt!
