I’m trying to wean myself off of caffeine, for like the billionth time. It’s not going too well. I wish I’d never gone back to it because the last time I gave it up, I didn’t have a single headache. I’ve been about 48 hours without it and I have a horrible pounding headache - which started the first day. There’s not much that’s relieving it at this point. I think the worst part about it, besides the headache itself, is that the tiniest things make it ten times worse. For instance; slamming doors, utensils clanking together, and teeth scraping utensils. Of course these things aren’t being done intentionally (I hope), but it doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.

I’m trying to stay motivated and concentrate on a design I’ve been trying to finish up but it seems like an impossible task. I hope this thing eases off before tomorrow. I don’t want to be stuck with this thing while I’m at the hospital for Jo’s CT scan (of his back).

I’m hoping we’ll get a little break in the next few days, so we can take a little road trip (so long as the headache is gone too). I’ve been wanting to take more iceberg photos while we’re here. I’ve been keeping up with an iceberg tracker, hoping there would be a few more in the area. There are actually a few along the Outer Banks near here. The problem is there aren’t any roads that lead to any of the locations. I guess I’ll just have to wait until they drift closer to the shore, to areas you can get to by car. There is one that I could take a boat tour to see, but I’m not sure about the price that would cost and we’re pinching pennies - especially since gas is going to go up AGAIN ($140 a barrel, CRAP, you can tell there’s a holiday soon).
