I am thinking of different categories for this blog. Something akin to what Lorelle has. Only 4 main categories. I might have more than that, but what I currently have.

The first category I thought of is CAFFEINE FIX. This category will be a catch-all for those entries I cannot put under the specific ones I am thinking of.

Is your head aching, brain hurting and your body just not cooperating? A good caffeine fix will do you a world of good.

Good conversation is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.
