Two mistakes: one good, the other bad.
Everything evens out.These last few weeks have been crazy at work, and at home. With having to write my term paper, trying to reduce my in-tray at work, and meeting fiscal year-end deadlines has led to a lot of missed sleep. As a result of the missed sleep, mistakes happen. My first mistake (and some one else also shares the blame with me) led to some panic. The second mistake, fixed the first mistake, so we were lucky. This doesn't mean that the stress dies away. The stress remains, only the matter is no longer as urgent. The stress can be eaten away with chocolate. Or caffeine.
I think I am addicted to caffeine now. I must always have my morning tea or coffee.This is completely out of the ordinary for me, since 2 years ago I gave up tea and coffee completely, and my new years resolution this year was to give up coke. Well, I am proud to say that coke is a rare drink for me now, but the additional daily dose of tea and coffee is much worse than the habitual weekly coke. The stress of the oncoming weeks (exam time) will have me drinking much more tea and coffee, which means I will be losing more and more sleep adding to my need of caffeine. See the amazing cycle? What I need the most, physically, is sleep. Life prevents that because of work and exams.
Several weeks ago, I answered the phone and my hand was shaking. Someone told me that I must've had the shakes from drinking too much coffee. I didn't think so, and thought that I needed another coffee to steady my nerves, so I bought a large latte.
Help me be free of caffeine (but only after my exams)! Until then, caffeine will be my saviour.
