TIFU-by engaging in self-care

r/

For the first time in many many years (single mom, working and going to school) I had NOTHING to do yesterday (Saturday). Kids were at their dad’s, my new job (using my degree, YAY me) starts Monday so my old job is done, and im on summer break from my graduate degree. So you know what I did yesterday? Absolutely nothing. Stayed in bed and sat on my ass all day. It was GLORIOUS. I literally only get the opportunity to do that every couple years. Since I didn’t do anything I didn’t drink my normal cup of coffee in the morning. There was no need to, I wasn’t doing anything or going anywhere. Let me tell you, caffeine withdrawal headaches are a bitch.

TL;DR: Took one deserved day of laziness to sit around and do nothing. Now I can’t function from caffeine withdrawals.

    If you find yourself in a similar situation ingesting a tiny amount of caffeine will usually be enough. Sorry your special day didn’t work out as well as you had hoped. I hope you get another one sooner rather than later.

    You only have to do the caffeine headache once. I did it a few years ago, and now I can drink coffee or not as I want, not as caffeine dictates. I’m so glad you had such a great day.

    This is me every time I take a week off. I even plan in advance, reduce my intake down to half a cup a day, self care day comes, big lie in…delay my coffee start…

    Sick all day with blinding headaches 🙄
