My dentist visit yesterday convinced me to give breaking the soda habit another try.

This morning I got diet soda instead of regular.

So all day I've been sipping on a diet cola. And all day I've been feeling more and more... antsy. Twitchy and unsettled, for no particular reason.

Then I vaguely remember reading a study somewhere (and of course I can't find it again), suggesting there's a connection between the "hyperactive" part of ADHD and artificial sweeteners.

Oh.

I guess I really do need to develop a taste for coffee.

I'm making the switch over to tea. We'll see if I can keep it up after the first box of bags are is gone. That's where I've backslid every other time I've tried to do this.

Also, you can make "sun" tea without sunlight. Cold-steeped tea works just fine, if you give it enough time. I used to take a water bottle in the morning, toss in a couple tea bags & have "iced tea" by lunch. (Usually green tea -- it's hard to oversteep that.)

This time of year, I just like having something warm.
