    And the crippling headaches. I screwed up, we ran out of coffee at home, so I didn’t get to have my cup before dropping the kids off. I go to the store, pick up a can, make it at home, but it just doesn’t do it, I have this headache all day. Come to find out I bought decaf, absolutely useless. It’s amazing the effect that caffeine has on the first half of my day.

    I do limit myself to just one cup in the morning. One “cup,” that is probably more like two actual cups, but I call it one cup because it’s just one physical mug of coffee. But boy do I work good until lunch. Unfortunately, after lunch, that’s it.

      Black tea is a nice way to leave coffee. It has about half the caffeine and a “in the same ballpark” flavor and ritual.

        I went to tea at one point when I was just getting bad heartburn from coffee. I’ve fortunately put those days behind me and have accepted my coffee addiction as a part of my life.
