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.
