Withdrawal ...
Day 2.
I am so exhausted I can hardly keep my eyes opened. Day two without caffeine but with certain amount of headache. Am I going through caffeine withdrawal? I was not weak, but I took a few sips of my husbands coke. Not because I dreaded the brown substance, but because I was thirsty. Not the best decision, I have to admit, as caffeine dehydrates you. Next time I will make sure to have my water with me.
We picked up my SIL at the airport. She was even more tired than I was ( after all, she was on the road for over 36 hours by then). All she wanted was to take a shower and get to bed, and who can blame her. She seems sweet.
Falling asleep on the keyboard.
Cheers!

November is National Blog Posting Month
Whether you believe it or not, but November is a National Blog Posting Month according to BlogHer. So I took on a challenge to write at least one blog post a day.
Day 1.
Several good news today. I got a new job (yay!) withing the same company (double yay as I did not have to sacrifice vacation time or benefits) with a 14% salary increase (triple yay?). My sister-in-law left my home town this afternoon to come over and became our living-in nanny for LadyBug. She will be flying from Moscow to Boston tomorrow. I really do hope it will work out for all of us. I have to admit I am nervous.
First day without caffeine. Definitely going thought the withdrawal - experiencing headaches. It was not as hard last time as I went to no caffeine from being on decaf only for two years. You can say that if I do not want caffeine, I can stick with drinking decaf. A year ago I would have agreed with you. Last spring I did some extensive research and found that the chemicals they use to extract caffeine from coffee beans are more harmful to you that caffeine itself. I have been drinking decaf for almost two years by then - two pregnancies and breasfeeding prevented me from drinking caffeine infused beverages. I had a few months of coffee / tea free summer until the stress took the best of me. I needed some coffee, and I needed it badly. I ended up drinking four to six cups of coffee a day (thanks to , and I gave up to coffee industry. So here it goes - no caffeine for me from now on (read "no coffee or tea unless it is an herbal tea"). Let's see how long it lasts this time :)
Cheers!
