Oh the Pain of Lovin' You

I think all my friends should know that I have had an amicable breakup with coffee and I'm okay but coffee is taking it pretty hard.

It's been a long and bumpy road for coffee and I. The smell, taste and ambiance is something I love about that drink that begins its life as a little bean and develops into a steaming cup of brew. For years people have bonded, broke up, spilled hearts open, and been fired over a "cup of coffee". And they still will even though I have parted ways with him. her? it??

What coffee did to cause this life change:

Since Landon was born I have had neck, shoulder pain that required many dollars spent on chiropractors, massage therapy, etc. I also had random anxiety attacks that puzzled and scared me because I wasn't anxious or nervous. Since I started back to work in December, my coffee consumption soared to new heights and I began to wake up in pain every day, all over, not just neck and shoulders. In a rare lightbulb moment, I connected coffee and pain, Googled it, and found that it is indeed very connected. So I quit drinking coffee, occasionally I have a decaf but its not the same at all. That was about a month ago, and I haven't had the neck and shoulder pain since then. So bye-bye coffee. I'm just not that into you.
