Sweet, sweet caffeine
Up until a couple years ago, I was a staunch coffee-free woman. The only coffee I ever drank was iced coffee, and even then only rarely. Then BestMate came to work in my team, and introduced me slowly, ever so slowly, to the joy of a hot cup of coffee. Ever since, I've been a regular coffee-buyer. Every morning, on my way to work, I stop at McDonald's and get a skim cappucino.
I've been off work for almost two weeks now, and have subsequently been caffeine-free because we have no coffee in the house. This has changed. Today, I bought a coffee plunger and some ground coffee beans, and have partaken of my first ever home-made coffee. I obviously need practice, however I can say with confidence that this superb coffee-making device will find itself in regular employ.
Two sips and I'm already buzzing. 
Edit: In the space of an hour, I've gone from "ahhh, that's a nice buzz" to "OMG, the room is spinning, I need to lie down NOW". I think I might've made it just a tad too strong. Was going to go for a ride, but not when I'm feeling like this!
