Today I am going to punch you in the face with…god I want to say irony but it isn’t actually irony.  It’s more…of a big loud “huh. Well how about that?”  but rest assured I am going to rock your world with it.

As you know, I gave up caffeinated Pepsi a little over a month ago.  It was hard.  I had headaches.  I was sleepy a lot.  And grouchy.  And just wanted to curl up in a ball and cry for a few days because I couldn’t focus.  And yes, it is pathetic to have withdrawals from frackin’ soda, but there you go.  I had three or four days of true suck.

But then?  Oh then…. suddenly, I had more energy than I had before.  I don’t know if it was giving up the caffeine or the stopping of the birth control, but my energy level just…surged.  (The stopping of the birth control is another entry for another time).  Even on nights when I didn’t get the full eight hours that I usually require (to keep me from turning into a heinous raving lunatic) I was fine. I’d wake up alert and ready to start the day and, sure, two days a week I make myself go back to sleep anyway but there it is: Non caffeinated me has more energy than caffeinated me.

Until today.

Last night I was kept up late because a certain husband stayed up until 1:30 in the morning (which felt like 2:30 to my poor hates daylight savings time changes body) and ever since waking back up at eight this morning I have been dragging.  And the weird thing is that I don’t really feel tired.  I feel…. non focusy and in need of some serious zoning out time.  I’m fighting my way through them because, hello, work totally comes before my addled brain’s need to just slack off for a few hours.

I don’t get it.  I’ve had all of this great energy and today I’m just… bleh. meh. whaddevadood.  I have to admit I’m kind of disappointed because yesterday rocked so hard.  Apparently today my get up n’ go has gotten up and freakin’ went.

Thoughts?
