It's final - no caffeine for me

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

I was in a training class today and it was boring as all hell. (The subject? Tax and financial implications of Benefits programs). I normally never drink caffeine but since I found myself literally nodding off a few times, I poured myself a cup of coffee. Then I had another half cup.

A few hours later, I am jittery beyond belief. My hands and legs want to shake. This drink is potent! I promise myself to lay off the stuff during tomorrow's session.

May I suggest Star Trek cheerleading moves (after proper warmup) as an energy building alternative?

Really, though, that's too bad. How was everybody else? Was your trainer clued in? Give you some breaks to get fresh air to get your blood pumping?

You know, the trainer wasn't too bad - I think the problem was just that the material was so dry. He did give us ample breaks.

Btw I read your post. I want to play the round robin but my brain is still feeling all weird from the caffeine effect and also because it's hot and humid and my brain's a little foggy from trying to absorb all that info. (How's that for a litany of complaints?) But I do want to play!

I also want to add that I don't find your LJ the least bit boring. I also worry whether I have enough FF content and I try to think of ways to jazz mine up. And I really wish I could do something to take your fear away and keep you safe and make the surgery be a huge success.

Was today a bit better? Did you lay off the crazy juice? :D

Come play fic with us. It'll be fun and I like having you around.

I'm thinking about how we all think we're all so boring and that we somehow have to provide all this entertainment for each other. And then I stop and think about the community of my flist and how many people on it are friends with everybody else and how I would love them all. There's no shortage of love out there, but we keep grasping in fear that it'll some how run out. I can't imagine turning up one day and reading, "Well, I've run out of love for you guys. Later." I feel like we're a family in that we may shift and change and grow, but we never equal less than what we've always been.

See how I'm getting it all over your journal? Have some love! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I totally need to get over there and do that. I've been studying the material for 2 days now and my head hurts - maybe I need a good diversion.

And wow, you said it all re: boringness and love and stuff! :) I don't find my f-list at all boring. Most of us come together through a shared love of fandom but we also grow to become interested in each other's lives.

I couldn't have said it better myself! So true.

part of the problem is that you so rarely ingest any caffeine that it affects you even more.

i dont drink a lot of caffeine, but i do have some (usually in the form of tea or chocolate), but my aunt jo's coffee is so strong it actually keeps me up at night.

You got a great point there. The cup and a half of coffee I had yesterday must have been as strong as your Aunt Jo's! I actually had a bit of a stomach ache and had trouble sleeping too, though I'm not 100% sure that they were due to the coffee. But I bet they were at least partly. I'm swearing never to touch the stuff again, even if I do actually nod off in class today!
