What to do when coffee loses its magic powers?

Coffee just isn't giving me the jumpstart I require today. In fact, lately I've needed two cups to feel vaguely normal and three to feel energized lately. I guess this is what happens with addiction. You have to use more and more in order to get the desired effect. I'm not looking for the shakes and the caffeine overload. I just want to feel human in the morning. And today? I feel old and stiff and hobbled. I'm walking around with sore, stiff feet and legs from all of that "exercise" playing games with the preschoolers yesterday. I am so out of shape. I've been saying that for a long time but maybe I should take some sort of action to remedy the issue.

Love the coffee!

Oh, coffee, how do I love thee! I'm a total addict - I admit it, confess it, embrace it. I like the fancy drinks from Starbucks and the like, and sometimes I make my own homemade versions of them, but nothing really compares to a nice hot mug with a touch of half and half, nothing more, as an early morning wakeup cup. I used to drink it black but my stomach can't quite handle that anymore - but I use a minimal amount of cream to keep the flavor rich and true. No sugar, thankyouverymuch!
