I drive down the mountain every morning to my favorite coffee shop, The Stone Cup. It's nice to walk into a place and be known, and catch up with the usual coffee goers in the morning. For the past couple years my caffeine fix has gotten stronger and stronger. These days I have a quad-americano in a small cup to minimize the amount of extra water. Sam (Stone Cup owner) calls it my lil heart attack every morning. Enough is enough... I'm on a mission to cut my need for caffeine in the morning.
I walked into the coffee shop this morning and asked for a Bakti Chai and I thought Sam was going to have a heart attack...plus he'd already started on my quad-americano when he saw my car pull up. Now, granted chai has caffeine in it but not anywhere near the amount I usually have. Besides being a little more tired this morning I feel pretty good. The real test will be the next few days to see how my body adjusts to not having a heart attack every morning.
