artifical sweetness, or lack thereof

I have a dependence on fake sugar.  This morning I had to put real sugar in my homemade Dunkin D.  There wasn’t a single stevia packet left in the house, no crumbs of splenda at the bottom of the box, no rogue Nutrasweets hanging out.  Now my coffee is unpalatable.  I can’t even drink it, which means I’m going to go through caffeine withdrawals any moment.  I even put a watered down coffee-flavored water in my cup and added some of the fake junk once I got to work but it’s too late.  The Dunkin D is tainted and it’s just not going to be the same. 

Thinking back to this morning when I made my coffee, I realize I have a bottle of sugar-free hazelnut coffee syrup in the cabinet that I could have used.  Damn I’m so mad.
