Four days without caffeine. The withdrawals are pretty much done. I find myself completely losing my train of thought lately, walking into a room and forgetting why I’m there, starting a sentence and losing my idea halfway through.
The synapses are simply not on the ball when I’m decaffeinating. Nelli, I’m sure, would recommend the t-shirt: I can’t brain, I have the dumb.
Sadly, this means I won’t likely be doing any good writing for the next week. But I fully expect that when this little experiment is over, and I have an Americano – the writing will go on all night, follow by a cigarette.

actually, you should find after the first week is gone b y tht you d not miss the coffee. you may even get to the point where the americano might make you UNABLE to concentrate.
i have done similar tests in the past and the results have surprised me…
Heh, I have an avatar that says that
Hey Erisan, I suspect that you are right. I’m curious to see how I re-metabolize the coffee.
I can sympathize, I’m finding that coffee is being one of the largest expenses of my trip, i can stock up at a grocery store and be happy as a bunny eating lettuce and carrots, but not being around a grand availability of good coffee? driving me batty… I thought that there would be comparable amounts of well made, lovingly prepared,expertly crafted cups of java derivatives in any largish city with a population over 20K, but i’m finding i was wrong… very wrong. Most the coffee here is brown, burnt, shit in a cup. I’ve had maybe, two good cups of coffee since i left pdx.
You’re in the lions den m’dear, if you can resist being seduced by the bean there, you have uncanny strength.
I have that icon for my LJ. It is very handy.
Bunny! So happy to see you one the interweb! Welcome to the BlissQuest.
How’s your trip going? I just saw the pic of you in the shoes in Amsterdam.
I’m soooooo sorry that you are not within range of delicious coffee. That makes me so sad for you – going from working in a rocking coffee joint with oodles of goodness to – none.
I’m sorry.
As to the Lion’s den I haven’t been by Chance of Rain for 6 days… I’m afraid if I smell a shot pulled by Nick – all my ninja resolve will crumble and I will feast. So, I’m staying home mostly and avoiding good places. 8 more days…
Hope Europe has other things to offer that make up for your lack of java
Nelli, if you hadn’t given me the t-shirt idea and if I hadn’t seen it on your site – I wouldn’t have anything to tell people to explain my occasional “condition” but as soon as I say it- everyone goes, “ahhhh” as though I just gave them the answer to some fabulous mystery.
Thanks, girly
