Evening clouds over Richmond
Little bunny Foo Foo strikes again!
But today's story is about caffeine.
The market where we buy coffee stopped carrying the kind we like. This came as a big shock, especially because the coffee they carry now is nasty. I got a little bit to try and we were not happy. So we tried some other coffee and it was nasty too. Then we used our big, clever brains and figured out that we could find Jim's Organic online. And so we did, and ordered coffee and all was well once more. Oz did a little extra coffee shopping and found some Kona too.
The Kona packs a little surprise. Like, I don't know, five times as much caffeine as normal coffee? It tastes great, but I haven't been drinking it because I need to be able to sit still and work during the week. I made a half pot today though, since it's Saturday and I figured Oz would drink most of it.
I sipped away at my cup, and couldn't get through more than half, while Oz slurped down a pint of it in ten minutes. Then we went out. Oz drove, pinging around the inside of the car, and said, "So today we should go to the gym. Not do a big workout, but I don't know, maybe. Yeah. Go to the gym and get that musculoskeletal thing going and a good stretch. And take a steam and a shower. And shave. Well, some of us will shave, but others of us won't. Yeah, the gym. That running without going anywhere and"
"That coffee has too much caffeine! It has made me grumpy!"
"Oh."
He actually did end up going to the gym. I grumpily watched soccer and tried to figure out why Bloglines seems to think my RSS feed has disappeared. I don't know what their problem is, but the feed is fine. I added more feeds too, so if you like that kind of thing, scroll down the front page to the bottom of the sidebar and enjoy.

It's weird. I have all the paraphenalia around, and apparently I don't actually need it. I was drinking a pot a day.... I might go back sometime, but I don't know. It's .... odd.

Posted by: 100wordminimum at June 28, 2006 10:33 PMI think I do, but I have to figure out how I feel about the fact that I drank way too much of it for years before I start again....
