I would like to pat myself on the back for a moment: Today, I actually got off my butt and made phone calls to find out where the practice rooms at BU are. Not only that, but I got in touch with the right guy, found out what I needed to do, did it, and then played a tiny bit. (Note: muscle memory is amazing stuff.) It was fantastic! This wasn't a huge task, or anything, but I'd been putting it off because it was never the thing I most needed to do. It wasn't ever really in the top ten. And yet: I did it anyway! And it was fun! It was actually super extra fun because the conversation went something like this:

Music dude: Okay, can I have your ID?
Me: Sure! Here you go. *hands over ID in which I have green hair, not the current purple*
MD: And you're with the, ahh, you work for the school of, um, Management?
Me: Yup!

Apparently I'm not the average business school type.

BUT SO! Now that I have patted myself on the back for completing a pretty mundane task, it occurs to me that I don't hear people pat themselves on the back for stuff nearly often enough! What have you done recently that you wouldn't normally crow about? Sorted some books? Taken stuff to Goodwill? Mopped the floor? Tell me about it!

I just have to say to you though, that knowing you want to do something and actually going out and making it happen that is one of my "Yay! things!" It always delights me and makes me want to crow for someone who makes things happen for themselves.... so

pat pat pat Crow Crow Crow for you too!

and also for making everyone else stop and look at their life and realize "Hey I did it!"

Welcome to the Off Caffeine Club! I went through my second run at withdrawal last year and it's been about five cups of caffeine in the last twelve months.

Isn't the world weird now? It's like everyone else is strung out.

No Caffeine Cold Turkey, I swear I must have yawned every 5 minutes if not more. But I feel like I sort of cheated with quitting.... I had the flu. It hurt to drink anything, and I knew that being sick and soda just wasn't healthy. By the time I felt well again, I didn't even want to taste it. Which began my quest to find a water that I liked.

But yay! I have quit caffeine before and then wham! one sip and I am hooked again... so I am determined no more caffeine sodas for me. Occasionally I have a glass of sweet tea, but that is it.
