The topic for July was: What one thing (other than friends or family) could you not live without? This is what I came up with. The pp I used for the cherries is much more vivid IRL. Not sure why it scanned this way.
Journaling Reads:
When asked what one inanimate object I couldn’t live without, I thought it was a really stupid question. Quite honestly, other than food, water and air, there isn’t anything I can’t LIVE without. So, I decided to focus on what one inanimate object, if unavailable, would make my life difficult. What I realized is that there is something that would cause me to have miserable days if its existence were to end. That one thing is CAFFEINE. I am actually not a soda drinker or a coffee drinker by nature or by habit and I usually only drink caffeine-free tea. However, because I suffer from migraine headaches on a frequent basis, I had to find something that would alleviate them other than the prescription medicaion I had been taking. For one thing, I become rather incoherent when taking that medicine and being the mom of 3 kids with a husband who works 12 hour days, I can’t really afford to be incoherent. After many unsuccessful attempts at taking OTC medications, I found that a combination of caffeine and ibuprofen will almost always get rid of the headaches if I attack them before they get too bad. Sometimes it takes more than one dose of ibuprofen and one soda, but it usually works. And, I can function even if I am all “caffeined up.” My drug of choice, therefore, has become Wild Cherry Pepsi. And when I think about it, I know that I would be one miserable gal if I couldn’t have my Wild Cherry Pepsi!
