Just give in, and drink one cup every day, and you'll be fine. At least until the apocalypse cuts off our coffee supply and we all kill ourselves. Only coffee on the weekends for me. I can deal with the headaches from lack of tea, but the ones from coffee are really terrible. I figure the lack of coffee during the apocalypse will make my old shootin' hand a bit more steady. And the headache will make me want to shoot zombies all the more.

Maybe you're more sensitive to caffeine though. true, the 4 days on 3 days off thing seems weird to be creating the dependence.

But not on my first day off, it happens on the second and keeps going into the third, at which point I break down and make myself a coffee. that seems even weirder.

Feels good to be lazy once in a while. Made some progress on my jean quilt. it would be nice to finally have it done, bc my "design board" is my bedroom floor. Went to the gym this afternoon to do some wall stripping and setting. The request was for a "hard" route. It is difficult for me to gauge the grade while setting, and it has happened more than once that i have planned to make a hard route and ended up with a moderate that requires some tweaking to "harden" it. So I finish setting, and ask a guy to give me a catch. Run though the route, it turned out really nice, flows well, but I think, maybe not quite hard, maybe hard minus... Which in our gym-speak corresponds to ~11b/c. Meanwhile, a visiting guy has been walking circles around the construction cones, dying to try this new route. So he get's on it, and falls on the 1st move. And 3rd move, and 5th move, and 6th move... you get the idea. Comes down and pronounces it to be a "solid 5.12, really sustained, one hard move after another". Not sure, if you can call a 25ft climb a sustained anything, but... heh! Another guy gets on it, same thing... apparently it is harder than I thought. They both like the route, at least that much is good. But now I am wondering if my difficulty gauge really needs recalibrating, or if I had just set one of those "easy-for-people-between-4'10"-and-5'2"-difficult-for-everyone-else" routes. Grading gym routes. Such a fun exercise! We have the setters post up what they think the route is/should be, then go 1-2 letters above and below and have check-boxes next to the grades. After a week, the highest grade is set and that's what the route is graded. Keeps routes appropriately graded. I think that gym routes should go through double-blind peer review processes for grading. Actually, that should go for outside routes, too. It really is the only sensible option. It works really well and you know what you're getting on when you get on it. Maybe works for a large gym, but too much hassle in a gym like ours. Having setters initial and date the climbs they set is as much of an effort as we are able to consistently enforce. For a hard climb, there might not be enough people to give a grade opinion consensus on it for a few weeks. And by then, every person who has any business being on the route has already tried the route and formed his/her own opinion that is not going to change, no matter what everyone else says. besides, what's the worst thing that is going to happen if you attempt to toprope a climb that is too hard? Nothing is hurtzed, other than dignitteh, tendons, and butts. And the cheesetitties? looked like a standard edit to me. True, if Lena wasn't a female mod who is pretty cool, we would have told her to GTFO ages ago. I'm not really sure how the mod thing works in her favor. Uhh, we can unleash her horrible banzing powers to do our every bidding?

I also don't know how many days I was drinking this coffee a week.

As you can see, there's nothing to keep it from going all the way back. There was also no amount of hard swinging that could get the thing to slide up on its own, so it was just a really long, heavy, unwieldy version of what I already have, unless before I swung I used my other hand to manually slide it up, which meant it would hit me in the back and land wildly and unpredictably on the ice. All of us had our eyes closed with each swing, we had no idea where the damn thing would land. It was like there wasn't enough head weight, but it was already so heavy that after about ten swings my elbow and shoulder was feeling dangerously strained. Crackie, one of the guys I was with yesterday goes to your gym and thinks he may know you. Small world. Already forgot his name.

Right now, you are attempting to use shit made for people with two hands, but without the benefit of musculature and fully articulating joints.
