The last sip of coffee occurred on Tuesday last week at the fast food joint in town. Only about one-third of the smallest-sized cup of the brew was consumed as a haircut at the Institute of Hair Design was of higher priority. No SVT event transpired, although some effects of caffeine were still present.
No coffee has been consumed since then. Caffeine withdrawal only produced moderate sluggishness and no headaches. The overall feeling is lack of energy. And, of course, breakfast felt incomplete. Starbucks® is still being patronized, although a cup of water is requested instead of coffee.
Coffee Day is celebrated close to the end of September. However, there will be no celebration in the mausoleum in the “old folks home” in Waikiki. Being a coffee aficionado for several decades, though, will spark a little reminiscence. Coffee can never be consumed again and will surely be missed.
Most of the bodily functions have returned to normal. However, sleep deprivation is a stubborn problem. The heart is skipping beats regularly, too, which most likely correlates to the HRV spikes. EKG readings taken by the Watch Series 9 are showing normal sinus rhythm. The only conclusion is that a serious undetected heart condition may be lurking in the background.
The real issue is one of age. The body of a 70-year-old codger is in the final stages before death. Lots of changes are taking place, and degeneration will only accelerate. Working out at the gym has preserved the external physique quite well. However, the internal biological functions are declining steadily regardless. Hence, all of the “surprise” maladies. Heck, many people don’t even make it to their seventies. Sheesh!
The State of Hawai’i has declared an emergency concerning Hurricane Kiko, even though the latter is weakening and should pass above the island chain on Tuesday. Once again, fools were already rushing to various retail outlets and hoarding food, water, and other essentials. Will there be evacuations on Tuesday? Yeah, same ol’ shit.
On a side note, dining out has become much more expensive. Take, for example, Lahaina Chicken in the Makai Market food court in Ala Moana Center. The prime rib dinner that was previously priced at $19 is $24 now. Say what? It’s the exact same dinner, by the way. There are no plans to patronize the establishment anytime in the future. Fast food prices are also exorbitant. Examples are too numerous to list. Yet, the central bank of empire has claimed that inflation is in check. ZIRP is “on the menu” with two (short-term interest) rate cuts coming later this year.
The $200 spent in the allotted timeframe at Target® has yielded the free Circle 360® membership for one year. It has not been activated yet, although the offer expires at the end of the month. Once activated, a microwave oven will be purchased and set up for the free delivery. With ZIRP on the horizon, food expenses must be reduced. Everything is so “fucked up.”
