the sweetener in coke and pepsi is actually a neuro enhancer – makes portions of the brain race uncontrollably and frenetically. Dont switch to diet coke – its worse. it contains aspartame which breaks down to formaldyhide (formic acid) which is ant poison when store in warm places – eg warehousesm trucks etc. Do a google search if you dont belive me.
stop drinking the stuff – go away panic attacks!

I thought to break a habit it was 36000 repetitions (I’ve heard 21 days also)
The neuro enhancing effect that Tim describes (brain race uncontrollably and frenetically) is exactly what I’ve been experiencing dramatically for quite some time now often to the point of being dysfunctal.
As for aspartame, I avoid it with a passion. Someone in the grocery store influenced me greatly to stay away from processed and artifical foods. Granted, our lifestyle hasn’t permitted the exclusion of highly processed foods but we use natural foods whenever possible.
I have not completely eliminated caffeine. I went without for 5 days and then allowed myself 1 glass of X (be it coke or tea or whatever) per day. A fog has lifted from my mind and my soul has achieved a calm not felt in a looong time!

Dr. Ashen shows us How to Build a Computer for Almost No Money At All!
I feel dehydrated. I feel buzzed. I feel a hollow dull throb in my head. My sinuses still feel like they have glue in them. But overall I feel GREAT!
Had much fun with the family and the girl scout cookie sales. My wife is so together and organized that everything went very smoothly!
The baby had too much cuteness to report. The 7 yr old said too many funny things. The 10 yr was blowing in the wind. And the 13 yr old was going a mile a minute but stayed in control and managed himself well.
A New Day!

This Morning
Sinuses really bad this morning. Wondering if the mold in the car we drop for the first time in about a year activated them, or if the warm weather and sudden plant growth is causing alergies, or if this is residual from the cold (which the heaviness in my chest implies). Perhaps I should take some allergy medicine just to be sure.
So much to do in 3 days!
Exhausted.
Because of my sickness I didn’t have the energy to brew coffee for 4 days. I’ve now been an entire week on almost no caffiene. During the sales trip I had 1 coke and 1 sweet tea then wednesday I think I had 1 coke and today I’ve had 1 coke. My mind literally feels so much calmer! I had been drinking 2 pots of coffee a day.
The incredible unsleeping baby!
Students prescribed Vicodin for colds
Did much cleaning in the office. There is so much more to do. Did not find the car title. Did find some of the other paperwork. Took the girls to the warehouse with all the girlscout cookies then helped them set up to sell cookies in the mall. They could do really well! Now I’m home with the baby. At least one of the two of us needs a nap.
Still distraught that I’m going to be spending so much time out of town and away from the family. Equally worried that I don’t have the finances to pull off this trip.
Through apathy I have been forced to act. Time to move some things around on the desk.
A New Day!

This Morning
Exhausted from these past few days but relieved to have one stressor gone. Next stressor is Girl Scout cookie sales and employment.
The bank account is below $200. I’ve accepted a 3 week job that is onsite 3 hours from home. Of course, we all know that means they’ll want it to be much longer. I am hoping that once it starts I can turn it into remote work. The first check won’t come until after the 16th of the month. Paying for food, tags ($35) for the car, gas and hotel will be a challenge.
I put myself in this situation. I know how to get business into this house without having to travel 3 hours. I just am not doing it!
Called Dad and told him “thanks” for all the time he put into my pinewood derbies. Told him about our loss. He told me how we always cheated. He recounted the “secrets.” Next year will be different!
