I caved. Went to Weigel’s and bought half a liter* of coffee (used by own mug). Was so shaken by the lack of coffee that I bought a newspaper for the first time in half a decade or so.

Yesterday was coffee free! In the afternoon, I drank about a liter* of coke and later had a hot tea so I did not escape caffeine..just coffee.

The coffee is gone! The coffee is gone! Watch for riots in the streets! How could we have let all the coffee grounds run out.

Oh bean!
How I miss thee
Not long ago
     I coddled thee
I’d shake your bag
     Like a maraca
We’d laugh with glee
Then I’d give you a ride
The grinder it spun
To fine powder
Then a steam bath for you
While you drip dried
I’d have a drink
Now I thirst.

So I decided to detox. I quit coffee. For roughly a week and a half. My mind calmed. My productivity increased. I had a brief period of headaches but that could have had something to do with last week’s dreaded cold.

Tonight I have officially rejoined the land of the living. Pumping some French Roast into my veins right now! Let’s stay up for a few days shall we?
