No Coffee - Day One

Thursday 11/12/2009
I started my day off like I usually do, with a big 20 oz cup of coffee.. It will be the first of the five cups I will have today. I'm may not be the usual coffee drinker because I don't care what brand or flavor of coffee I drink, what I care about is convenience. The quickest way of getting that dark, hot, caffeine infused liquid into my system is the way I choose to go.

Today, I savored every drip of my 7-11 hazelnut coffee because the knot in my stomach reminds me that Monday is coming and coffee will no longer be a part of my daily routine- at least for a week. This will no doubt be a challenge.

Sunday 11/15/2009: Day 0
Today felt different compared to my usual Sundays. Maybe that's because I know tomorrow will be day 1 of no coffee for a week. I had so much to do today and I'm not sure everything would have been done without my coffee breaks.
I just wrapped up the coffee machine and tried to put it away in the pantry but my mom came in and stopped me.

She explained that it's only logical to leave the coffee machine out since I'll be the only one in the house who can't drink coffee. Of course I already thought about that but I'd hoped my family would stop drinking coffee too as a support group; guess I was wrong.

How will I be able to withstand the smell of fresh brewed coffee every morning and every night? My parents almost always have coffee after dinner and since it's winter, they'll be drinking the stuff like water. If my dad buys any special Christmas flavored creamers this week, I'm doomed.

Monday 11/16/2009: Day 1
I woke up early this morning and smelt fresh coffee brewing, only the funny thing was that the coffee pot was unplugged so I decided to go back to sleep. I just woke up about fifteen minutes ago and I can't seem to get out of bed.

Right now all I want to do is drive to the corner gas station in my pajamas and buy a 20 ounce cup of coffee. I'm stronger than that though.

My mom is leaving to go workout and I thought about going but I just don't have the energy to move. It feels like a sad day today and it's cold outside- both of those reasons make today a great day to drink coffee.

Just writing about it is making me feel worse. Wow, this sucks way more than I thought it would. I have so much to do today and I don't know how this is going to hurt me.
