Hi Grovedale.
When I was working and raising my boys, my day started around 4:30 AM. Breakfast for me was coffee. Followed
by two more cups at work after dropping the kids off. By lunchtime, it all depended on meetings, etc. so a lot of lunch
was coffee. And after work, picking up the kids and getting them something to eat and started on homework, my
relaxation was a nice hot cup of coffee, heels off and either silence sitting outside in warm weather sipping it or the
evening news inside. I was drinking about 5 or 6 cups a day. But I could still grab a bite to eat after the kids were asleep and I would be able to fall asleep within an hour. I tried a few different energy drinks and they were a no-go!!
Try a cup in the morning and see how you feel. Might take more than a few days, but the Good Lord knows it was
a lifesaver for me!!
(Plus as a Federal Govt worker, all the offices had coffee stations and it was kind of the thing to do!! LOL!!!)
But now, I start my day with a cup and then around 3 I will have a cup and just take a break (or try to) from the
stress of the world. I have substituted my coffee with water from a Britta water pitcher and I drink usually a pitcher
a day.
I have to confess that since a Starbucks opened up a few years ago about 5 minutes from me, I am guilty of an occasional Iced macchiato!!
Best of Luck! Stay away from the canned energy drinks! Chemicals and even a coffee drinker like I was, I would
get jittery off the few that I did try!!
Slick
