why do I do these things?

I have to stop making a big mug of coffee. I have a big mug (with monkeys on it!) that holds 16oz and I put about 4oz milk and then the rest is moderately strong coffee. I'm OK if I sip it slowly but if I'm distracted reading things on the internet and drink it quickly, I fell all jittery and not-good.

I also had two pancakes and a 16oz Orange Dream Machine because Housemate was going to Jamba Juice and I'm not going to pass that up! And after I finished the coffee, I filled the mug with water and drank that. Still a little jittery, though. Urgh.

it's like MAGIC: you can stop traffic jams!

I've tried this but not consistently enough to realize how effective it is. I'm going to do this from now on.
