Completely Caffeinated.

What I have discovered this week.  Enough caffeine to keep you awake all night is also enough to keep you up all day.  Sigh.

I came home from my night shift and started the "process" of unwinding for bed.  I was in bed by shortly after 8.  I thought that if I slept for a 4 hour period--that would be enough to function, but also be tired enough to go to bed at a decent time.

That didn't happen.

I slept off and on, more off than on.  I woke up shortly after 9 am thinking we were having a minor, minor earthquake.  I stayed in my bed--then I thought it must be the dog scratching.  It wasn't him.  Then I realized, it was ME.  I was vibrating.

After drinking so much coffee last night before I went in at 11--I switched to water.  I pounded water until 3 am.

I work another night shift Wednesday night.  I am not going to be caffeinated like I was last night--ever again.

It's now 3.30 pm and I am still feeling jittery.

This morning my co-worker came in about 25 minutes early and took over from me.  I really appreciate the people I work with.  Today I was working with Chris and Glenn, I really enjoy them, they keep me laughing....then again it could have been caffeine and lack of sleep that was making me laugh.....
