The heat is getting to me. An odd statement in the dead of winter to be sure. But I'm not talking about outside; I mean inside. I suspect it's true in all the places that receive snow and cold weather, but in Canada as soon as it's the least bit cold, everyone jacks up the heat to crazy proportions. This means if you're dressed even remotely warm, you will be sweltering soon. It also means you dry out and get cotton mouth a lot sooner.
This is the problem I now face at work. Beyond a lack of artificial caffeine stimulus, I am also drained physically by the artificial warmth that makes my skin itchy and dry while constantly making me thirsty. Add to that the fact I am sitting most of the day and you can understand why I am useless by mid afternoon.
I'm afraid my stop gap measure has been to increase my sugar intake. Not intentionally of course, but I am already a long way off from when I was barely able to finish a cookie on the first of the month. My sugar consumption has had a massive spike, as I look for something to give me a pick me up through the day. I've had two hot chocolates in the past three days and innumerable pastries. Clearly, I need to cut back. Again. You can successfully break one habit, but be careful of what replaces it!
