all medical shows, all the time

( A few thoughts. )

it's just overkill

Arrrgh. I always forget that espresso and caffeine have the most intense and inexorable effects on me. I had a frigging latte at like 2pm and a diet coke at 6pm and was completely unable to sleep last night. I thought it would be okay, but it was a double-shot espresso thing and I swear it was like nuclear-strength. It's so rare that I have coffee, but I need to remember that I can't have it after noon, or something.

I finally hauled myself off to bed at midnight, but proceeded to toss and turn for the rest of the night until it was miserably time to get up. And it was the type of toss and turn I have due to strong caffeine. My legs are super restless and kick around and I think combined with sleeping in so late on Sunday and being anxiety-ridden over needing to be up so early today (to make up for upcoming holiday hours), I was completely tweaked out.

I am so totally wiped out. I'm trouble having with complicated things like, keeping my head up-right and not slinking off my chair and onto the ground.

I also wore my less-comfortable pair of shoes and am going to be in hell all day.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.

Also, I think I need food but lack the motivation to get any. I randomly want a forbidden sausage-mcmuffin (which there is no way in hell I can get). Maybe when Jeff gets here, he'll feed me. Or not. I mean, I have soy crisps in my office, but I don't want soy crisps. Though in the face of starvation (yay, melodrama), you'd think I'd be less picky. But we really wants eggses.

Do I re-caffeinate now? To get through the day? Or should I just let my body re-equilibrate?

Can't believe am this sensitive to frigging caffeine.

Am going to die. *thud*

zee plan

So, that was interesting. Emily met me at work. We drove to the theatre. But unfortunately (as it was a first-come first-served) deal, they ran out of seats before we could get into the theater. Which... was okay, really. I'm sorry we didn't get to see it, but I always love hanging out with Emily and I got to come home early to chill. So it's all good. And we're going to see the movie this weekend, so no big loss.

So the next couple of days will be exciting and fun but also busy, so I must plan with precision!

Sarah and Emily are coming over for Thanksgiving and it is going to rule. Zee plan:

- since I'm home early tonight, I need to do bits of cleaning, mainly the kitchen dishes
- apres my French class tomorrow, I need to grocery shop at Fred Meyer, and I've got my list ready
- tomorrow, I want to prep by making the mashed potatoes and the squaw corn, both which will reheat nicely
- Wednesday, I want to prep the stuffing ingredients and maybe make the Carrot Cake Cheesecake with Pineapple Frosting (I think it'll taste better after the frosting's set over night)

This way, when I get up on Thursday, I can make the mini quiches and deal with the turkey and green beans. I think I'll try to organize it a la Rachel Ray --chop once, use many times. Because chopping is the devil, and I'd rather do it in prepartory stages and not be stuck at the 11th hour, weeping into my onions. Hopefully Sarah and Em will come over early afternoonish, the quiches will be done, and while I do the final stages on everything else, we can play and be merry.
