Feeling tired and uninspired but still off coffee and sugar (Day 82)

I just discovered that I never posted yesterday’s scribble.  Oops!

I wrote it all up and then left it, planning on adding a photo from my phone later, as I often do.  Only apparently I completely forgot about it.  I’ve shared it now so today will be a double whammy of blog posts.

Hooray!

To be honest, I don’t think you missed much from yesterday, I couldn’t think of anything interesting to share.  I’m still on my coffee fast today, three full days now.  I tried one in the morning in the kitchen and all I could taste was how strong and bitter it was (and that was a weak version of what I used to drink).

I’ve also noticed these past few days that there’s been a tired, heavy energy around me.  I actually haven’t wanted to do much physical activity, haven’t felt motivated to do much at all, instead longing to just lie around watching tv or reading.

I don’t normally feel like this and in fact it’s felt quite restful.  It’s almost as if for so long I’ve been wired up and going non-stop and now all of a sudden I’ve stopped and I’m realizing how tired I am.

It feels like I’m taking a break.  Even though I’m also not because I spent literally hours today taking photos and doing house-work in between and then editing several of the images.

It was seriously productive day.  And I didn’t eat anything sugary, besides some tahini and honey on toast for breakfast.  That’s a serious win for me.  (I did eat some store-bought pizza for dinner with a gin and tonic…) but hey, day two no sugar or coffee!  Kind of!  Anyway I don’t care!  Too many exclamation marks!

So today’s scribble is going to be another short and bland one, as I’m still in my wanna-do-nothing mood and I’m loading up an episode of my favourite series The Good Fight to watch once I’ve posted this and cleaned the kitchen.

I lead such a glamorous, exciting life, don’t I?  Where are the trips to Paris or the adventures in India or the big jewellery trade shows… my life is so boring.  If I could just stop shopping for five minutes I might be able to save enough money for a holiday.

Then again, with all the chocolate I’m not buying, maybe I can keep shopping and save for a trip to Paris at the same time!  (Yeah, I used to eat a lot of chocolate.)
