Probably sticking to Starbucks from now on.

I have now had no sleep whatsoever since ... well, I took about an hour nap yesterday afternoon that ended at 3:30 or so. But nothing since. So that's about 19 hours or so? And no real sleep in about 25 hours. I knew I was rather alert last night at 4am, but I figured I'd crash once my head hit the pillow. And I knew I'd had a stomachache all evening, but I didn't really know just why. I felt pretty crappy all last evening, really. WELL, now I know what the problem was and is.

It was that McDonald's premium iced coffee I tried for the first time yesterday. I don't know just how much coffee that guy put into the drink, but wow. I'm still feeling the effects. It's rather like torture, ha. I haven't felt the effects of caffeine at all since I was probably less than ten years old. Coffee never has an effect on me. I can drink a cup and go right to sleep. Coke, no problem. Mountain Dew, king of caffeinated soft drinks, no sweat. But wow. This drink has hit me hard. It's almost like having a reaction to it. My stomach has just been a mess since 8:00 last night. I think it hit its worst around 6:00 this morning. And I have been WIDE AWAKE all night long. Oh, I tried to sleep. I lay there for hours and hours, but eventually you make yourself crazy doing that. So I got up. Eventually I felt sleepy again, so I tried to sleep again. Nope. So now I'm just gonna nap when my body tells me it'll work with me again. Because this is kinda awful. And I feeeeel tired, but not sleepy. I neeeeeeeed to sleep, but I just can't. I can't BELIEVE I'm still not able to shake the buzz. Or the churning stomach.

This will be a long day, ha.
