I’ve been sick in bed for 4 days with flu-like symptoms. I don’t know if it really IS the flu. I stopped drinking the dreaded ICED CAPS they serve at Tim Horton’s on Monday. It’s disgusting that I am sharing this on the world wide interweb, but YES, I am an addict. An Iced Cap addict. I’m also addicted to biting my nails, but that’s a whole other support group. *winks*
Since stopping the addiction to the powerful 10 oz cup of death on sugar I’ve been going through major withdrawal. We are talking mood swings that challenge any girl on PMS, body aches, head aches and drowsiness. Since Monday I’ve become increasingly embarrassed at the hold these drinks have had over my body. I LOATHE you, Iced Cap!
So since I’ve been down and out, my spirit had started to get the best of me. I get to dreaming and thinking of all things I’d like to accomplish and then the downer voice in my head starts to worry about how those dreams will be perceived by others. I question and doubt and then get sick of my own self. I’ve been asked recently how I can be so open online. With my birthday post, how could I possibly put pictures up of my scrunched up face….. haha … “Because,” I say…..”that’s ME”..It’s because I’ve decided that I only have time to be myself. What a waste of time it would be trying to be proper and conservative. That works for some, but not me. Unfortunately there will always be people who want to take the wind out of our sails, but I’ve decided that I will not dim my light for anyone. We got to stop caring what other people think of us. When I am an 80, lying on my death bed, I won’t care about the silly so and so’s who thought I was this and that, back in 2011~ ! : ) I will, however, most definitely ask for one last sip from a Medium Iced Cap, Creme….no flavour shot, please!
