This is gonna be a short post because I like to keep this blog profanity-free and, given my current level of crankiness, I'm not sure how long I'll be able to sustain that.
Going caffeine-free sucks.
Notice I didn't say being caffeine free. That's because, despite trying for over a week, I'm not yet. Well, I haven't had any caffeine today but I've only been up for two hours, so the day is young.
I tried to go completely caffeine free twice in the past week, when I figured I'd tapered enough to be able to stop altogether. Both times I ended up with an emergency application of caffeine before lunchtime. Both those days were workdays, though, which not only meant that I was less tolerant of feeling lousy, but also that I didn't think it fair to inflict my crankiness on students and co-workers.
Today it's just me and the Hubster and the dog.
I hope they both survive.
On the PVC front, I'm still getting them when skating, even though I'm down to about a half cup of coffee a day (and I drink it more than 12 hours before skating). I have noticed a big reduction in PVC's when inactive or only doing light activity like walking the dog, though. Tomorrow I'll race completely caffeine-free (assuming I don't cave today, that is), so we'll see what happens.
Keep your fingers crossed.
