Shaky hands, pounding heart, nauseous, almost dizzy fuzzy headedness. I just met a friend for coffee (2 hours worth of catching up!) and was distracted by the coffee-making-guy who offered me skim, 2%, whole or soy milk, sizes of indeterminate quantity, and paper or ceramic cups, and I seem to have forgotten to say "decaf". When a friend offers to meet for coffee, I tend to ignore the "coffee" part of the statement and consider it a chance to catch up, which it is. Then I'm unprepared for the actual ordering of the coffee-type beverage and I get flustered and mess up. With this result.
I end up consuming caffeine once or twice a year, accidentally, and I then remember why I don't drink it regularly. I pulled an all-nighter in college once (bad idea for a 10 hr sleeper anyway) and then topped off the study session with a Diet Coke liquid breakfast. I sat down at the blue-book exam, picked up my pen, dropped my pen, picked up my pen, dropped my pen... and finally had to tell the prof that I couldn't take the exam until later. I went home to sleep it off and gave up caffeine completely right then. Benadryl leaves me wide-eyed and sleepless; clearly I'm that 1% who reacts oddly to medications.
Hopefully the laundry portion of today will be completed despite my impaired condition.
