Strong Decaf

Yesterday I ran out of regular coffee.  Well, it wasn't actually regular.  It was half-caf.  I was shopping a few weeks or months ago and while looking through the options, I saw this blue container labeled half-caf.  I decided to buy it.

For months before that I had been on the mild roast.  But for a long time, for many years, I had been on the strong roast.  What's it called?  Oh, dark roast.  And for a long while, too, I had been making like four scoops per brew.  And then I cut down to three.  Then two.  And then one.  I can't remember the exact intervals though, but I just gradually cut down over the years.  So until yesterday I was on one scoop of half-caf roast.

I had been considering restocking it, but I kinda forgot.  But I did have an almost full container of decaf in the cupboard.  I keep it there in case I felt like drinking coffee at night.  It rarely happens, but sometimes if I couldn't sleep or something and felt like it.  But also, a few days ago, I read somewhere that decaf isn't totally caffeine free.  That there is still some caffeine in there.  So I decided to give it a shot and see how I do.  

So today, I made a strong decaf.  I put two big scoops of it in the coffee maker and that is all I had for the day.  I figured if I started to feel bad, I can buy a regular cup outside somewhere.

But actually, I felt fine.  I felt okay.  So I think I will keep it up.  Hopefully I can finally not be dependent on caffeine again.  Let's see how it goes.
