Love the analogies. I have an epipen for bee stings. If I ever use it, a scene from Die Hard is now going to pop into my head as I jam it in my upper leg.

I decided to take a break from coffee this week, and I’ve been going through withdrawals. I’m somewhat of a power user, so I am up around the 400 mg mark normally. None of it is coming in through the lobby, the back entrance, or even the roof. I’ve been missing those deliveries, let me tell you.

I’m glad you enjoyed the Die Hard - I think it works extra well with the epi pen, although hopefully you don’t have to use it.

Oh wow, stopping caffeine altogether is gonna be tough. I cover on tolerance a bit in the Sesame Street post- there’s definitely a physiological reason you’re feeling the withdrawal, so good luck! I’ll be interested to see how you find it, and how you go when you next have caffeine.
