If it's not too late for coffee...

And so today truly begins the experiment. Today there will be no caffeine. For the last three days I've had but one cup of coffee in the morning. Finally by yesterday afternoon I thought I was ok--I did not have a giant haze around my head. Yet I fell asleep at 9pm. Of course, this meant I am up at 5:30am, and what is there to do at that hour if you can't see through the fog surrounding your thoughts?

After further research, it appears that caffeine is not the greatest trigger of endometriosis pains. But after the past few days, I've realized just how much I depend on caffeination. Provided I can get through the next two non-work days, the experiment will continue until November. And then it is likely I will return to the wonder that is a cup of coffee. But it will be limited to the recommended two cups of caffeine.

Because let me tell you, a mug of caramel honeybush or whatever is in my enamel teacup this morning is just not cutting it. I'm ready to crawl in bed for the rest of the morning, but I promised a I would go help prepare brunch for a group of visitors. Brunch without coffee. I don't even want to think about it.

But this helps.
