Today brings my total days without caffeine to 5. Today my legs have been real achy feeling, but whether this is because of the caffeine halt I’m not sure. Overall I think my energy level has gone up, or at least become more consistent. Instead of being super energized during the school day and beat at night, I feel like my energy level is about the same all day. This has cut down on how often I feel tired.

It’s a little after 10pm and I’m quite tired and ready for bed. It all feels just a little more natural, not to mention I’ve cut an easy 500 calories out of my daily diet. I’ve only written two chapters on the no-caffeine routine, but I think the words flowed better. My axons must have been firing better. Or my myelin sheath is more sheathy than normal (props to Paddy).

I’ve got an idea for a recurring series of blog stories that are more sitcom like and less serial. I want to write something of a decent size length like the Mike story, but shorter than a novel. Eventually I’m sure you just have to jump in, regardless of how ready you are, and just create that huge story that fills hundreds of pages. Right now that end of the pool still seems awfully deep.

Have a great Friday!
