Had to scrape the last bit of grounds out of my tin today. Thought we had another one in the storage but I guess wife didn't pick up any. Coffee is a bit watery today but having tea as a substitute is just not the same.
no coffee shops/food places w/in walking distance?

I know what you mean, I get blue mountain and kona beans from gold star coffee on chesswood ( http://www.goldstarcoffeeorders.com/main.sc ). I have a mid level breville machine at home and I can't even drink timmies anymore, it tastes like shit I'd like to get a separate grinder and espresso machine, and just use the breville at the cottage.
Which beans have you tried from the GTA?
I usually buy from Social on West Beaver Creek, which I believe supplies Dineen on Yonge/Temperance with their beans but I'm getting bored of their beans.t

I unfortunately get Timmies still in the morning, mainly because it is across from work and I'm hella lazy. Timmies is the only time I ever have anything in my coffee. Everywhere else, restaurants/home etc is just black. Timmies needs additions to make it drinkable.
+1. Plus it doesn't help that's theres a tims inside of the hospital, a 2 min walk from my desk. The only saving grace is that it's high volume so 80% of the time it's fresh and not that nasty burnt crap that's been sitting around for hours.

Go for a walk outside the hospital and get a real coffee
They have a Starbucks in the hospital too but it closes early, and I'm too much of a cheap ass for Starbucks lol
Nothing else in the area, I wish that country style nearby didn't close down, they have the best coffee imo

We get it you're part of the other csi club (coffee snobs international) not everyone goes out to get the best cup of coffee, most times it's just a nice break between the day to drink something warm and get a little boost for the rest of the day

I drink every kind of coffee.
In the mornings i usually brew my own, pack it in a tumbler ( 16oz). Down a cup before i leave. Off to work i go.
Around 4-5pm, i get another coffee from (tims, Mcds, Sbuxs, or small cafe's) Been hitting up Sbux/cafe's lately for the Cold Brews.
I've noticed that i've had a problem with this, so 4 days ago, i decided to quit, cold turkey. I think i could be drinking close to a liter of Coffee a day, consistently.
Today is day 4, it's a lot better. Day 1 was brutal.
I drink it black. All black.
The morning coffee cup before i leave for work is purely for the effect, so it's double double (at home - i just straight up down it, it's the left over from not fitting in the tumbler).
Ever since quitting. I've noticed (Oh i drink or at least try to drink 1-3liters of water a day) that i do not pee as much for the past 4 days. My headache is close to gone. BUt we'll see. I'll update as time goes by.

Update:
Noticed i snack a lot. Though, i snack on fruits (at the office). IT's very hard for the self control as the office has got junk food as well.
I didn't think i had anxiety, ever. But i feel like i'm a lot more calm, my energy (with a good 7 hours of sleep) is consistent throughout the day and at night my sleeps are a lot better.
It's hard, i want to buy a coffee everyday in the mornings.
Instead i substitute this with a Greens drink (Greens + extra energy).
