I hit the wall

This picture sums up how I feel today. After leaving the office far too late (I actually was the last one to leave...oops!) because I set a goal of finishing two projects and they took longer than anticipated, I couldn't sleep. Unfortunately, it was about 2AM when I finally got some rest.

I blame the lack of sleep on my latest addiction...caffeine. I've always had a low tolerance for caffeine and I usually limit myself to no more than one caffeinated beverage a day and almost always before 3PM, but last night was an unfortunate exception and I paid the price.



I'm afraid it's a vicious cycle since I've had four caffeinated drinks since I arrived at work and I'm sure more are to come. I have a bottle of green tea sitting on my desk right now, but I've been drinking hot tea all day. I have to admit, I'm more awake, but I'm also feeling quite jittery. Not a good feeling. I really think I need to cut myself off if I want to have any hope of sleeping tonight.

I know I'm going to have the worst headaches when busy season is over and I don't need my "fix" anymore! Oh, well...you do what you have to do to get the job done!
