taking a break

i've decided i need to take a break from a few things. this break is going to involve 2 things: coffee and email.

now, those who know me know how much i love both my coffee and my email, this will be no easy task.

i am doing away with my morning coffee for health reasons. it's just not good for me to have that much caffeine every day. not good. and it makes me kinda jittery in the morning. yes, it does help push things through the digestive tract, but healthy eating can do the same. i'm going to replace my morning coffee and go back to my previous addiction - green tea. green tea is much healthier and has much less caffeine. maybe this will help my insomnia, too.

i am also going to check my email less. i check my email while i'm at work. now i know this appears to be a bit scandalous, but let me clarify. i take "email breaks." i do not neglect my work, but rather i do this when i need a mental break, or on my lunch break. i get few enough emails that i am able to adequately answer most of them during these breaks. so why do i feel the need to open my computer as soon as i get home? it's just not necessary. it's going to stop. i could use that time to read a book or talk to my roommate. so if you don't hear from me by email after 4:30 on a week day, don't worry. i'll get to you.

or, you could use the phone. modern technology is amazing these days, i tell ya.
