Day 2 without coffee was awesome because I had no headache what so ever but I have what seems to be Sciatica. I’ve never had it before and it’s painful and very annoying. I actually looked it up and saw hundreds of people have gotten sciatica from caffeine withdrawal which is so strange I know!
I got smart last night while the oven was preheating to make spaghetti squash I put an all aluminum pan filled with water in the oven to heat up to use to wash the dishes.
My brother in law never came to look at my hot water heater so I had to shower at my moms house. Her blinds were open so I closed them but I still felt weird because her shower curtain is see through. I’m going to buy her a different one for Christmas
They also have toothpaste and toothbrushes in there

Today my sons family coach for cyber school stopped by to meet with us to set up goals for this year.
I had to run to town to buy wrapping paper and when I started my van a black kitten ran out and hid behind my fuel oil tank. So apparently another kitten was dumped
.
I boiled water to clean our toothbrushes then wrapped some of my sons presents while watching “Pay It Forward”.
I made French toast for dinner then ran cold water in the bathtub. I boiled 4 pans of water and went back to wrapping presents and watched a little more of the movie.
I didn’t have time to finish the movie tonight but after I poured the boiling water into the tub my son was able to get a nice warm bath at home.
I slept horribly last night as I was in so much pain from the sciatica. It was worse today then yesterday. I cannot run at all which was disappointing for my dog.
We are now on day 6 with no hot water but I contacted a third plumber tonight so said he can come tomorrow and will get a hold of me! I really hope this one shows up!

@marlina It really could and most likely just is a coincidence but when I wrote about it on Facebook my late husbands aunt said she had the same thing when she quit coffee and that it will pass. I was kind of giggling about it just because it seems to odd so I did a search and hundreds of people have written about having sciatica from caffeine withdrawal. Thankfully the first day was the only day I have had a headache.

@LadyDuck if it really is from that then it is a really weird symptom for sure! My late husband aunt commented in my Facebook post saying she had the same thing when she quit drinking coffee and that it will pass. That lead me to search online and there are hundreds of posts of people having sciatica from caffeine withdrawal. Who knows though it really could just be coincidence. I just really want it to go away as I just can't sleep! So far the plumber has not come like he said he would

Poor kitten.

Alot of people i know brush their teeth while showering. I don't though, find it weird and gross.
We have a curtain thats see thru on the top so you can see out but the body part isnt.

I am still having trouble not being able to run but well that is only a burden to the dog. At least it isn't keeping me awake at night anymore.
I think germs would get on the toothbrush
I wouldn't mind a shower curtain like yours to be able to peek out I think I might feel safer after watching Psycho when I was young it's always in the back of my mind

I have never liked the clear shower liners either I buy white and then I have a fabric curtain over that one.
I have been there did that with the hot water, it is a never racking waiting game.

@andriaperry I just use a fabric one and nothing under it. Those cheap plastic ones always ripped so easy and the vinyl and plastic ones give off a lot of cancerous chemicals in the heat from what I read. Seems everything causes cancer though!
