Detox is a bitch!

Words cannot describe how I feel right now, but I will make an attempt. I feel edgy and tired. My eyes want to close, but the sleep I've had over the last couple of nights has apparently done nothing. Additionally, my dreams are a bit disturbing.

I have been here before, but it was a long time ago... at least ten years.

You see, Sunday I decided to push straight through on my drive home. I usually try to spend the night somewhere, or get plenty of sleep the night before. However, this time around, I didn't spend many evenings out socializing. My last night there, I did... and ended up staying out past three in the morning.

Yes, even though I knew full well I would need to leave as early as possible the next morning.

At one of the stops in central Wyoming, I couldn't resist chatting it up with a cute nursing student in the c-store. She was purchasing an energy drink called Rockstar, so I asked her how it was.

I didn't buy one yet, because I don't usually care for energy drinks. The Mountain Dew product MDX didn't do anything for me, and I cannot stand the taste of Red Bull.

100 miles later, my curiosity got the better of me, so I made a pit stop, chatted it up with the cute girls working at that c-store, made them laugh a few times, and picked up a Rockstar.

You know, it tastes pretty good! Good enough that the 16-oz. can was gone fairly quickly, so on my next stop I picked up a couple more for the road.

Even though the road trip was long, limiting one's intake of this stuff is a good idea. Three cans later, I quite literally felt like a human tuning fork. I'd swear I could even hear a high-pitched hum coming from my vibrating body.

Anyway, I'm home now, and I'm trying to get the overabundance of caffeine out of my body slowly... because those caffeine migranes suck! I had one more can of it yesterday to get me going after none on Monday. Today, I'm sticking to Diet Dew.... hopefully I'll only consume one.

I'm still fairly lethargic and I'm craving caffeine. It is very reminiscent of when I was working the fast food circuit and consuming a six-pack of Mountain Dew a shift... which provided me with these same joyous side effects.

Soon, it will all subside, and I'll feel "normal" again, but for now, I'm pretty miserable.

Note to self: this stuff works, but only use one can in extreme circumstances. No more overdose!
