Ill

posted by Emma on November 23, 2007 11:52 AM

I have been ill most of this week. Yes, I know, I am a brave soldier for appearing so chipper on the blog, and for doing thousands of hours of work without hardly a complaint. You may gasp in awe at my amazingness.

The reason I mention it is that I feel a bit better now. And I think I know why. I have just had my first coffee in three weeks. I am a coffee addict, I think (certainly a big fan, at least), and was drinking more than ten cups a day - until three Saturdays ago when I decided to go cold turkey. It wasn't too bad. I switched to boring old tea, and didn't feel tired or anything. But this week, I think the lack of coffee plus a bug has floored me.

So. Back on the coffee - for health reasons. Can't say I didn't try.

You're one hundred and eleven? Surely not...


Em, let me be the first commenter on this blog to say that I'm sorry you've been feeling a bit poorly of late and I'm glad you're feeling better now. x


i'm sorry too, em, and even sorrier to have been bombarding you with endless amended manuscripts, and i'm glad you're better. but really - if you give up coffee what can you expect?

when i gave up office work to go freelance, one thing i promised myself was no more instant, just the real deal - that's as far as i'm prepared to go in the caffiene rejection stakes. coffee is essential to civilized living.


I'm sorry you've not been well, Em. I hope you'll take care of yourself and ease off just a little, until you're quite better.
