I thought that was odd, but I enjoy seeing your updates in my inbox. It is soothing to my soul when I am stuck in customer service hell on the phone. Thanks for the laughs!
My heart likes to jump around with too much caffeine, which is totally unpleasant, so I limit coffee and sodas. The sleep/no sleep didn't seem to be an issue for me when I had them more often. Lola's right - when those weird effects are noticeable, it's time to choose otherwise.
Can she see sound and the future yet? 😆 After all my years in the airlines, I'm pretty much immune to caffeine. "Airlines run on coffee, jet fuel, and rumors."
When Red Bull was just getting popular about 15 yrs ago... they gave out free samples at work.. I was so jittery.. i drove my coworker nuts. Tmtried making her go for a walk around the building
When I was younger I could, and did, drink every caffeine beverage I could get my hands on with little affect. Now? I cup of real coffee in the morning and decaf ice tea the rest of the day. I can’t abide anything with bubbles. Weird how your taste buds change, but they do.
Tell her I relate. I had a Red Bull once, because it was free. It melted the 'off' switches for speech in my brain, so for the next four hours or so I DID NOT SHUT UP. Now I'm at the point where I can't eat chocolate after 5pm, or it'll keep me awake. It's a sad state of affairs.
I tried an energy drink once and thought my heart was going to explode cuz of how fast my heart was beating. Caffeine in coffee has a different effect on me. I once had coffee at a training and the carafe was marked decaf. It was not. 10-15 minutes after drinking it, I had to run to the restroom. My body rejects it almost immediately and exits as fast as I drink it.
OMG, I can totally relate to Lola! I accidentally had a huge caffeinated iced tea at lunch one day 30 years ago...and had to go home from work early - I couldn’t speak, couldn’t think, and the walls were twinkling (was I seeing time?). I went home and to bed in the middle of the afternoon! I have never had a cup of coffee, don’t like most soda (and what I drink isn’t caffeinated), and don’t really drink tea. Caffeine terrifies me!!
I suffered from migraines for years and tried every imaginable medication. Some doctors said caffeine would cause them, other doctors said a jolt of caffeine would help alleviate them. I don't drink coffee or soda but always had iced tea. The caffeine in the tea or meds would make my heart race and I'd be so jittery I couldn't even sign my name. These days I only have tea in restaurants and drink only decaf tea or seltzer (or wine) at home. I feel Lola's pain.
Most caffeine doesn't bother me. Never really keeps me up, but coffee can have a little more impact than tea. I don't get jittery. It doesn't even raise my heart rate. I kinda wish caffeine would wake me up more, but I think my blood type is sweet tea.
Looks like I scheduled this wrong and the Tuesday and Wednesday posts both went out at once. Oh, well. Enjoy hearing from me entirely too much today.

I am suddenly very nervous about flying.
Oh, and other people's money. Lots of it. 😆

Caffeine is my drug of choice. If I don't have coffee first thing in the morning, I might as well be a dog!
