I've quit sweets.

It's cold and flu season.

Everyone in the office is sick.

I'm cutting back on coffee.

So today seemed like the perfect time to take a test drive of the no-coffee-at-all concept.

I've been up since 1:15 a.m. I've been to the gym. I've been at work since 4:30 a.m. It's now 3 p.m. I'm getting a little tired, and I still have about 5 hours to go before I can go home. What surprises me more than anything is the fact that I haven't killed anyone, and I feel remarkably pleasant.

Maybe I won't have any trouble with this resolution afterall.
