40 days of stupidity?

Good bye sweet caffeinated morning beverage. I will miss you. In my ambition to give up something meaningful for Lent, I chose you. 40 days without coffee??? Right in the middle of the busiest and time intensive portion of the writing program. What am I thinking? I get up at 5am, and now I'm going to do it without coffee??? But since I don't smoke, drink excessively, none of your standard "good" vices that would actually be a challenge for me to give up. Except you coffee. Sure, it'd be easy to give up "killin' people" or "punchin' old ladies"...but I don't do those things on a regular enough basis.

So goodbye coffee...hello tea. Now if someone could arrange to call and wake me up every morning, and then check in with me around 2pm again to make sure I'm not asleep at my desk, I'd appreciate it.
