Giving thanks for caffeine - Day 2B




OK, I have a dirty little secret.  Can you keep it?

I am a diet coke addict.  I admit it.  Owning my stuff is the first step towards fixing my stuff.  I think there might even be a 12 step program and support group available called DCA (diet coke anonymous).  Diet Coke not healthy

But today is one of those days...you know the kind I mean.  I am tired.  I stayed up too late with kid stuff, lunches, oh yeah and still had some work to do, then house keeping, and well, just to take a few moments of solitude for my own sanity in the peace and quiet of my own head.

But this morning, well, I paid for it.  I am tired.  So much so that I found myself sitting at my desk around 2:00 about to fall asleep.

The afternoon doldrums set in and I needed a pick me up.  I know it is not healthy, but we will save that for another day, and it certainly isn't spiritual, but today I am thankful for the caffeine in my diet coke.

32 ounces of cold, refreshing, bubbly soda that helped me get through the rest of the day. I felt like a new woman.

But when I "trump this trial" and become a card carrying member of DCA, I will let you know ;)
