Damn Caffeine...Stupid Me

[mlerules]

Just dawning on me that there may well be a connection 'tween inserting caffeine into my bloodstream yesterday afternoon and my glancing at the clock upon retiring at 11pm, then staring at it at Midnight, 1am, 2am, &c. Note to self: you use caffeine as a drug, you know this. It affects you massively b'c you don't do it daily. So don't be surprised if'n if f*ks w/your sleep. As it turns out, I didn't even have to drive at all since L took both legs of the PDX-Yelm & back haul. Still, I thought I'd be driving back so don't feel so bad 'bout my decision, even if it's not the best way to start a long-@ss day. IT = not sleeping well/much at all.

Up in a bit to shift the couch, perhaps build a bookcase, diddle about the house some, then head Northward for art, food, and Grinding.

I've recently went into a caffeine detox cycle. I'm trying to even out my moods and physical health, and this is what a lot of folks recommended. I'm cranky about the withdraw but doing ok. Caffeine is actually scary stuff.

At one point years ago I chose caffeine as the drug to become addicted to - or so I declared. I did it in large part b'c I knew it wouldn't happen. It hasn't. I try to use it sensibly and by and large it works out.

Best wishes w/your easing off it.

Oh damn, I wish we could come to the Grind this week & dance with you, but we're already going to Stardust.

'Nother time. I make it up at least once a month and usually post when it'll be ahead of time. (Well, the morning of = ahead of time.) I was sorely tempted to go see Stardust again w/the crowd, but'd already made plans to Grind. Neil Gaiman's a god. Enjoy it!

I almost saw Stardust yesterday as I've been craving a movie at the theater and it was one I wanted to see. Though I don't usually mind getting out on my own, I didn't feel like seeing a movie alone yesterday. I think I need to find a movie buddy. :o)

*waves hands in air* I like movies. Post-Grind I often tend to pass by your area on Fridays. Dunno what you're schedule's like in general though. Blazing through o'morrow, however, 'cause I leave at the crack o' dawn for PDX Sat morn (ugh).

Usually my schedule is open and / or flexible so once your world slows down you should drop by one of those Fridays. ;o)

Sorry, I wasn't logged in when I responded; I'm still getting this LJ thing down. :o)

I have the same issue with coffee; if I drink it anytime in the evening I can pretty much count on being awake at 3:00 am.
