Agreed! Being severely ill and not really being able to leave my house limits my options, and I don’t want to feel bad about living my life w the level of limitations I have. If I had more options, perhaps I’d made other choices, but I make the best w what I’ve got

caffeine is one of my rotating treatments for migraines but i usually get it in the form of green or black tea (coffee works too but tends to be more expensive)

can you eat/do you like honey? i usually use that as a sweetener as opposed to sugar (aspartame messes with my throat, so i don't drink it either)

This subject always reminds me of The Good Place, esp the episode where they realize why it’s not so simple to figure out if someone belongs in the Good Place vs the Bad Place. The example is something like - 100 years ago a man does a good thing and stops to get his mom flowers on his way to visit her. 5 years ago a man does the same good thing - except now he is ordering flowers from a giant corporation because he lives 500 miles from her and the flowers already traveled 1000 miles to get to the distribution center and then an underpaid delivery worker drives them in a van with 15 MPG to get them to her. You get the idea. Anyway, it reminds me that there’s simply too many things we can’t control but when you find something that you can, it’s still worth a few “Good Place” points. (:
