Still feeling sluggish. I can't say why though. It may be simply a bad day, the fact that it's Monday, or not getting enough sleep. But a lack of caffeine is absolutely a factor in it. I have felt on edge as well. I feel a barely suppressed irritation at everyone and everything. While I'm not snapping at anyone yet, I can envision a day where this could happen.
I also feel a little dimwitted. It's as though a fog is hanging over my brain, clouding my thoughts and actions. Everything feels just a little bit slower, and every action takes a little bit longer to do. I'm not as quick on the uptake as I normally am, I was definitely aware of that. Normally, my mouth is firing off quips (witty and otherwise) throughout the day. Today I got nothin', and I was more tired a lot sooner in my day.
The chicory drink has been very soothing. I like having a caffeine-free drink that is quick, easy, and flavorful. And I also like that it is still mild enough to drink black if you so choose. Make no mistake: it's not going to replace my wonderful, delicious coffee. But today I had a cup of chicory and a chocolate chip cookie. And it was pretty terrific.

..On the flip side, I found a tin of ground coffee at work today and eagerly inhaled deeply. I wanted to pour it all over my face. The smell was so strong that I swear I got a little bit of a buzz. This is as rough as I thought it would be. Just not all at once.
