Austin bucket list update

Another thing on my Austin to-do list was to kick my caffeine habit. In my heyday, I would regularly drink two or three 16-ounce bottles of Diet Pepsi each day. On a bad day, that number could go as high as five or six. Even on a good day, though, it was always at least one.

Well, yesterday I had no caffeine and no withdrawal headache. That's the first day since I've been in Austin that I can say that. I'm going to consider my habit kicked.

Footnote: next up are artificially sweetened, caffeine-free beverages. Gotta go. That pretty much leaves water. Not very exciting. I'm trying not to think of it as just water, though. When I'm about to crack open a bottle I think, "Ah yes--cool, refreshing water. It's nature's candy. Mmmmmm..."

Two or three sodas a day? And I thought I had problems.

I think my personal best was eight.

I can't even recall the last day I had more than one soda, but then I maybe have 1-2 a month.

I thought about this when I went to the movies*. I very rarely drink sodas or tea. I bring water with me to the movies in my purse; $2.50 is too much for Dasani. If you don't want to pay either and you don't carry a purse, you'll have to figure another way to bring it in.

*I saw "Bra Boys" -- a documentary about surfer gangs in Australia. It showed some street fights. I hope you don't ever have to do that.
