Decaffeinated

Eunice needs to cut back on the caffeine.

So, as a sign of solidarity, so will I.

I expect this to be painful. I expect that, for the next few days, I'll be tired, cranky, and have a headache. At least, more than usual.

I've stopped drinking caffeine before. Usually this is brought on by a doctor's visit. The doctor asks how much soda I drink. I tell him "anywhere from 6 to 10 cans a day," and the doctor tells me to cut down. The 6 to 10 can figure includes fountain drinks at lunch, etc.

The hard part is going to be drinking things at work. The tradeoff for me with caffeine has always been sugar. So it was either drink diet soda (with caffeine) or sprite (with sugar). Seeing as how I'm trying to stick to an Atkins diet, the sugar option is right out. Yes, I know that there is decaf, sugar free pop. However, I can't get it out of the pop machine at work.

Anyway, in the spirit of April Fool's day, here is a link to my favorite Chick Tract. On a side note, I did find one tract in a book I bought from Borders.

I could go into a discussion here about why gaming isn't a tool of Satan, etc., but I don't think there is anything to be gained. People that argue this point usually have their minds already made up (and probably aren't readying my blog anyway). I will say that I'm a gamer, and I'm proud of it.

And for the record, this place terrifies me.

And in the spirit of good fun, here are a couple other funny links:

To Erik's credit his solidarity lasted less then a whole week :) but I'm OK with that. he did try. He's been a great sport about the walking, and as always he's supporting me through all that's going on :)
