Caffeine again

Wednesday 6th September, 2006 @ 9.32am BST Europe/London by Pandammonium

Right, sod it. It’s supposed to be healthy for to not ingest caffeine, right? Wrong. It makes me sleepy, headachey, grumpy (more so than usual, I mean) nad lethargic.

So I’m back on it. I have had one cup of tea this morning, and didn’t it just taste nice? I feel better already.

Caffeine

Monday 4th September, 2006 @ 9.15am BST Europe/London by Pandammonium

Have been back on the caffeine over the weekend, but I needed it, what with sleeping on other people’s floors. Not the best night’s sleep ever, therefore caffeine required afterwards in order to stop one yawning at inappropriate moments.

Caffeine and cold turkey

Tuesday 29th August, 2006 @ 11.16am BST Europe/London by Pandammonium

I wouldn’t say I drink a lot of tea. Certainly at least one cup a day. Usually more. I drink coffee occasionally. I had a cup of tea, a mocha and a cappuccino last Tuesday, and that night, I failed to sleep until about 3 a.m.. I haven’t been drinking that much caffeine since then; I had a cappuccino at the weekend, I think, but nothing since then. I’ve been drinking herbal tea instead.

Yesterday, I felt all crotchety and headachey, and really quite tired, so I went to bed for a lie down, and snoozed for about an hour and a half (the cat came and snuggled up as well). I still had hours and hours of sleep last night as well. Usually, if I sleep in the afternoon, which is very rare, I can’t sleep that night.

And here’s me thinking think caffeine didn’t affect me that much!

Glue

Wednesday 26th October, 2005 @ 2.33pm BST Europe/London by Pandammonium

So, this face-glue stuff that comes in a yellow tube. How do you get rid of it? Does it just come off itself, or does it have to be soaked off or what? Please don’t be too graphic in your answer because I am horribly squeamish. Having said that, you’ll all become most graphic, won’t you? Just to be cruel. Feckers.

Veritable Cantabrigian Carnage

Sunday 23rd October, 2005 @ 2.16pm BST Europe/London by Pandammonium

Friday night saw me on my feet one moment and on my face the next. Don’t ask me what happened because I don’t know. Someone phoned an ambulance and I went to hospital. Again. These hospitals seem to have all sorts of non-stitches to hold you in place these days. In Colchester, they used adhesive strips; in Addenbrookes, they used glue. In a yellow tube.

My left eye is swollen, purple and red, scabby and quite sore. A mess, in other words.

I’m dreading work tomorrow.
