No coffee, or black tea, red wine, cola drinks, or citrus. Man. It’s been almost a week! I’m feeling ok. Woke up with a headache, but 600mg advil soon helped that.

The rain has come back, after a very sunny morning. Crazy winter weather. It’s blizzarding in the mountains.

We’re supposed to go out to a party tonight, but if the weather turns to shit, I am fine with staying in. I don’t even like champagne. But we stayed in last year, so it would be fun to do something.

I have to walk to the grocery store to get some yogurt, relish, and loose tea. Learned some stuff from Alton Brown’s tea show. Also from the coffee episode, which taught me that we are actually making our coffee the way he recommends already: with a plastic filter cone that has hot water poured over grounds. Though a few adjustments are needed: we need to use more grounds, we need a larger filter so that we can make a pot or carafe instead of an individual cup, and we need a gold filter. In due time. I probably won’t drink coffee again for another week.
