Who else is drinking copious amounts of coffee lately?

I swear I'm on my 3rd pot of coffee today. And its only 5PM. I'm so tired but coffee has become the only lifeblood I have right now. Without it I turn into some evil witch or so I've been told.

They need to make oreo flavored coffee.

Every morning. But afternoon caffeine keeps me awake at night.

Be careful if you decide to quit. Screaming headaches!

I started drinking a second 18oz mug.

I stopped drinking a whole urn, from my Melita, every morning but somewhere in my late 40s I slowed to one mug before 10am or I would wake up at 2am and not be able to get back to sleep until 20 minutes before I had to get up for work. It sucked so I was willing to make the change.

But now that I'm retired and it doesn't matter that I get up for a couple hours in the middle of the night, I have decided that it also doesn't matter if I drink another mug of coffee. By then I am also ready to add food to the mix and that makes for a very pleasant, if long, morning. My coffee is my morning ritual and I am an absolute snob about the coffee I drink (fair trade only) and I treat myself to the best thing of the day right after I get up. After that, I can face nearly anything the world throws at me.

I use a little sweetener, honey or-? and 1/2 & 1/2.
