Alright, so I can possibly blame last night’s mishap with sleep on the possible chance (only slightly possible) that I drank too much coffee before bed. I failed miserably at my goal of keeping my caffeine intake down. I won’t even embarrass myself here by divulging how many cups of coffee I drank last night.
On top of my caffeine intake issues, my night was completed with a nightmare which included zombies. Not just any type of zombies either, the kind that were missing half of their body so they could crawl along the floor and sneak up on you.
The lack of sleep is really catching up to me. I think I was the most cranky that I have been in a while. I couldn’t even stand being around myself. It was one of those days where I was being difficult to be difficult and I couldn’t stop being difficult. I am sure those people who talked to me today were completely aware of my charming personality. I think my work day was topped of with the guy who sits next to me telling me, “I don’t know how to put this, but you look really miserable today.” All I can do now, looking back on the day, is laugh at that statement. He pretty much summed it up.
As far as caffeine intake – today has been a new day! Plus there has been a slight shift in the schedule. Now my goal is Tuesday – Saturday, 3 cups of coffee maximum. Today I have only had 2 cups of coffee and 1 cup of decaf coffee. For all of you out there that are cringing at the fact that I drank decaf coffee, it still tastes the same for me.
I think the need to drink coffee really is psychological. It gives me an excuse to get up from my desk and take a break from my work. Plus I am able to warm my hands on the hot coffee cup, which is always a nice feeling. It also tastes really good, not to mention the smell. Mmmm….maybe I should make some now.
