Written on an Airbed

Welcome to the jungle...

Free coconut with every purchase.

Although we are still a few days away from the 22nd of January, I've already kicked in to "low caffeine mode", staying away from that foul temptress - Coca Cola. In previous years I've attempted to quit cold turkey, just a sudden stop followed by days of withdrawal. This year I plan to succeed, and and gradually decreasing my regular doseage, with days completely free from the foul stuff to test how I'm getting along.

I'm on the completely free day right now, and don't feel any of the usual side effects except for a general feeling of sluggishness, something I'll readily accept in place of the giant headaches I usually receive from the Gods of Jones-ing.

I did receive a big helping hand along the way in the form of a crapload of sherbet(full of sugar, folks) earlier. I went to ShakeAway and ordered a large sherbet milkshake, with extra sherbet. The guy behind the counter clearly felt my enthusiasm for the product and loaded the blender up with no less than six sherbet fountains(sans liquorice).

The resulting drink was delicious, high energy, and fizzy. Which would be why the majority of it frothed up through the lid and spilt everywhere on the journey home.
