    Still dealing with caffeine related migraines, I think. I haven't had any soda since Monday, and while I still drink coffee (1 or 2 cups a day most days) this migraine will not knock off. It's making getting things done pretty... difficult. Also, I can't concentrate on anything and I still want a Diet Mt. Dew! When will this stop?

    When I quit caffeine it takes 5 days. And I have zero benefit from said caffeine. Even if I’ve not had it in a year. Crazy how our bodies react to this stimulant isn’t it?

    Yeah, no kidding! I wish I experienced caffeine like others do (being awake, jittery possibly, etc.) I can drink coffee right before bed and still just fall asleep. Does absolutely nothing for me. :'(

    Omg. Same. I drink energy drinks because I like the taste🙈 But I do actually feel better staying away from caffeine altogether.
    Once I bought some of the Woke AF preworkout. It was a variety pack. There was one kind that in that pack that I got a reaction from. It made me feel drooly. Like a weird overproduction of saliva. So weird 😂 Both times I tried it. So….I guess that’s not helpful.

    My husband is like this. Meanwhile I have a caffeinated coffee by mistake and my hands start shaking. Funny how some people are so sensitive. Hope your migraine subsided

    Nos is my favorite energy drink, lol. 🙈 Definitely not calorie friendly.
    I did manage to find some Fresca I had stored away (and I think it's caffeine free?). It seems to be helping with the soda-y, bubbly feeling I miss from diet sodas.

    So I guess I'm on day 6 now, day 7 will be tomorrow since that was the last time I had a diet Mt. Dew (last Monday). Just gotta keep reminding myself that I am saving money and probably saving my teeth. Silver linings and all that jazz.

    I wish more people understood that being a self-published author is like running a small business. People (mostly my family) assume writing is just a fun little side hobby that I can take a break from whenever I want. They wouldn’t tell me to take a break from my full-time day job that I despise - they just tell me to hang in there and keep pushing. With writing? “Why are you working so hard? Just take a step back from it”

    Besides Delta Airlines... my left knee. I did something to it yesterday when I was painting (probably all the up and down on the ladder). At the end of the day - and still this morning - it felt/feels tight and painful when fully extended. 😕

    That sucks. Hopefully you get a chance to elevate & ice it when you get where you’re going

    Oh I don't fly until Wednesday. I'm p*ssed at Delta because "due to circumstances beyond their control," they've moved me from my first class aisle seat to a bulkhead. The rep I talked to said she couldn't tell - the move could be for an air marshal or someone with a comfort animal. STILL - it has been my seat for 10 days - and why do I have to be the one to move? (Poor me rant over now)

    So I have today - while things are being demo'd at my house - to elevate and ice.

    I’ve asked questions to several people at work and people seem to be allergic to giving me a straight/simple answer

    Amen to that! Also, my husband can't find his birth certificate. We've only lived together 4 years so that's 44 he could have misplaced it, yet because I'm the organized one of the bunch I MUST have lost it :D
