i think i'm decaffeinated.

still can't do coffee. it's been 3 weeks now. truly, this is monumental. i'm hoping it's just a phase. but in the meantime i've had lots of hot tea. even went out on a limb and tried a new thing at starbucks. it's salted caramel hot chocolate. here's how the starbucks people describe it:

This delicious sweet and salty combination brings together our rich, indulgent
Signature Hot Chocolate and the flavors of buttery caramel and smoked sea salt.
It is topped with whipped cream, a swirl of caramel and a sprinkle of our sea
salt topping - a combination of artisan sea salt and Turbinado sugar from
Hawaii.

whatever. it may sound weird, but i think it is heaven in a cup. and that's not their website picture. i took that of my very own drink. it's beauteous.
