Sundays have become the day when I get high on caffeine. I begin the day by making coffee that uses half-caffeinated grounds and half-decaffeinated. It amazes me that such a simple thing can make a big difference in my ability to cope with the day. By drinking the half and half, I am stimulated to keep from falling asleep in the middle of a sentence all day.
I gave up drinking caffeinated beverages because my heart was racing for much of the day, and I could sense it. The sensation made me aware that it might not suit my heart health. I went from whole caffeinated coffee to decaf in one day, cold turkey. That is when I began to fall asleep in the middle of the day. Often, the computer alarmed me with a chatter that wouldn’t stop, and when I looked up at the screen, it was filled with a line of k’s kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
After months of seeing lines of repeat letters in the middle of my posts, I decided to try an experiment. Why not reward my self by enjoying a cup of half-half coffee on Sunday morning with breakfast? Well, it works. From that realization on, I look forward to Sunday morning coffee.
