Green Room - Week 10 - Day 4

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

Good morning.

Have you posted your entry yet? http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/205392.html ????

With elderwoodpixie unfortunately leaving us due to real life, (I notice not before she got a "Happy Belated Birthday" out of it though!*G*) we inch closer to having lost *100* contestants! So the pressure is definitely on!

I noticed something else, for those playing the "Idol meta game": We ARE going to hit 75,000 comments. Probably early in Jan. Maybe sooner than that. Which one of you will be able to claim that prize???? (We hit 50,000 toward the end of Season 4. Which just goes to show "some people" have a lot to say!*g*)

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

I was going to go back and edit it so that there was more to the comment, and right as I hit "edit post" my gmail popped up with this notification.

:-p

Heh.

Some folks have been noticing that I've been slightly "punchy" lately. Just so you know, I should be getting back to an even keel; I've been going off caffeine, trying to kick the habit.

It's been very difficult, and my brain hasn't been working very well for the past few days, but I'm 4 days into it, and I'm starting to feel as though I'm going back to normal.

Thankfully, the headache is starting to fade. Should be gone by tomorrow, I'm hoping.

Well I got my entry done for this week but my reading is going to be catch as catch can until Sunday afternoon.

Friday is Caroline's 6th Birthday (where DOES The time go) and her Birthday Party is Sunday.

I've not written my entry but here I am sloshed YET AGAIN!!!!
I looked at my flist and was like, "WTF Gary? Why are you posting the GR at 4:30am?" Then I remembered that I'm in Vegas and the time change and such. Yeah, pinkslit, have another.

Good Night everyone...

Oh, and we saw "O" (Cirque de Soleil) tonight/last night. Soooooo great that I cried at parts.

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

Claudia's health improved when she went off coffee for several weeks...her hives disappeared (I think she's allergic to it or more specifically the coffee at her work, when it starts)..

she refuses to stop drinking it

Having coffee and waking up. Mr Bear (my 5yo son) is eating cereal and watching Pokemon. Today is my first day this week with no errands, so I hope to just be busy here at home. And writing my entry, since I haven't yet!!

Right now, though, going back to bed would be soooo nice..but it's not to be. There may be a nap during Sesame Street later.

Yay yay..happy birthday to caroline

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

We're thinking about catching O next time we're in vegas...

Last time we watched Zumanity..um....it's a different kind of nice show...

[worldofcharlie.livejournal.com]

Well I'm over the the bloody hump (and fuck no we didn't celebrate)...

I'm just happy it's almost Friday - another weekend - more recovery time. Got sort of bad job news a couple of days ago - it's been hard to keep our composure when we know all these contractors are getting hired and we probably won't be - when March swings around. It really sucks because upper management at our company are morons.

*feeling grumpy again*

But weekend will make it all GO away..*s*...

#3 for you

When I went off caffeine for the first time, I dealt with the headaches, and watched as my energy levels became normal, my sleep patterns became patterns instead of just "oh god I'm tired now, me go sleep." I even began to "brain" better, in general.

I swore I'd never get back into the habit.

Then there was college, and work, and lots of things demanding my attention. Just one little Pepsi couldn't hurt. One cup of coffee in the morning. A Starbucks run...

So I'm done, I hope. Going to keep trying to stay off caffeine. It helps that right now I'm sticking to water, and nothing else. Eventually I'll have other stuff, but if I'm going to go off caffeine, I have to get myself used to the idea that drinking is for replenishing liquids, not taste.

Keep your fingers crossed for me. :)

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

I did that once. I managed TWO YEARS before I decided to go back (because I was going off of other medications).

I am still no where near the level I used to be though... one or two normal cups of coffee rather than five or six, and I think I could stop again if I really had to.

Good work and keep it up!

[spydielives.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday to the little one!!

I'll admit that it makes me feel cheesy that it's a one word post, but I'll take it. :)
