Hm... That's about what my husband drinks, I think. I worry about him.

> Did you simultaneously cut out caffeine?No, but I cut back a lot. The only caffeine I get is through those diet colas. This may be an overshare, but if I drink regular coffee, I throw it up again within about half an hour, and feel lousy for hours afterwards. Decaf is better, but honestly? I haven't been drinking any coffee for a while, and don't miss it most of the time. Since I couldn't get caffeine without getting more aspartame or throwing up a lot, I ended up cutting way back when I cut back on aspartame.

Talk about recursive arguments! I just got dizzy thinking about that one! Guess it doesn't matter if it was psychosomatic or not, I felt better...
Crisis averted... Dizziness abated...
It's a glorious day here today, lovely weather. Makes me feel rather silly. And makes me think I'll go shower, and then go out and buy a convertible...
