all may have been wondering why I have been so quiet lately. Well, yes, the dead laptop, cracked phone screen and the waste of a tablet certainly didn't help.

But something else has been going on. I have hardly been drinking coffee, or anything with caffeine in it. It hasn't really been intentional. But as it continued, or maybe more precisely, ceased, I started to think there was a lot of merit to it.

I have known for some time, at least back to 2012 that when I consume caffeine, 4-6 hours later I am drinking alcohol.

In fact, I never really drank either until I was 21. I was living in a house with a heavy drinker but it was at the time energy drinks were coming on the market. I was starting my computer fixing business and had to do a lotta walking to advertise...

From that point on I became a very regular caffeine and alcohol drinker. Despite all the downsides. The jangled nerves after too much caffeine wanted alcohol, and around it went in a circle. My drinking at times caused me very big problems. One incident almost landed me in jail.

So I am probably going to be a bit slow for a while.

I will be back, properly, soon, but this could take a while.

I have also been cutting back on smoking tobacco too... Mainly just smoking hash instead. But I want to not be spending any money on these things. I have been feeling this last year like all these things, though least of all cannabis, have been slowing me down and keeping me stuck.

I am sick of being stuck!
