Three
days and counting! The tree is up and
decorated. All the shopping is done and
the presents are wrapped. All the
cookies are baked, as is my mother’s sour cream coffee cake. I have everything I need for the table. I have a menu planned for Christmas dinner. I have my assignments for Christmas Eve. I have task lists for Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. And all has been accomplished
with no hyperventilation, no angst, and no arguments. I’m not quite sure to what I should attribute
this significant change from my norm.
I would
like to think that my determination to be calm and laid back is paying
off. More likely the lack of caffeine
and aspartame in my system could be reason for this aberration in my
behavior. I’m no longer experiencing
caffeine withdrawal symptoms. My sleep
patterns are definitely different. Then
again, I’ve only been Diet Mountain Dew free for three weeks, so I think the
improvements will continue for a while, then level out and become a new
normal.
