Being off my Tea Schedule

In my normal life I drink unsweetened iced tea from the time I wake up until 3:00pm. Sometimes I make a mistake and am still drinking it at 5pm. The mistake might cause me to have trouble falling asleep.

My body needs iced tea. It is the fuel on which I run. 60 oz. Might be an underestimate.

Being away from home often throws off my tea consumption. This morning my friend Jane told me exactly where to get my first morning tea and I was happy as clam. I went off to work at a country club that it turns out had no food service on Monday and Tuesday. Food is not the biggest issue, but tea was.

After my morning tea I went all day without another drop. By the time I finished my last class it was well after 4:00pm. Too late to start a new tea. I went to Kinston to meet up with friends at the Kinston Country Club. I almost broke down and got a tea there as I could feel all my body chemistry changing due to the lack of tea.

Jane and I went to a restaurant and met up with Warren and Kim and her husband for dinner. I needed a real meal, but really wanted tea. I did not break down and get any as it was now 7:00pm.

The consolation of this almost cold turkey day is I should not have trouble sleeping. I do consider it quite a feet that I did not bite anyone’s head off without my normal tea consumption.

I do have a plan for tomorrow. I am going to get two giant tea’s in the morning. I have lunch plans with some new students and hopefully this good southern club will have tea, but I’m not taking my chances. If I go two days without I will definitely be in full detox and it won’t be pretty.
