TGIF

...i woke up at 4:30am with the beginning of a migraine...i crawled out of bed, ate some crackers, downed 3 tylenols, grabbed a cold eye mask out of the freezer and crawled back to bed in hopes that the headache would melt away in the next two hours before i had to get up for work...

...unfortunately, that was not to be the case, and i had to drag my sorry ass into the office. on top of that, i forgot my cosmetics bag at home, so when i looked in the mirror sitting at my desk, i looked like an addict on a not-so-good day.

and then it hit me. i AM an addict. a CAFFEINE ADDICT. HOLY SCHMOLES! now THAT would explain why i started getting a headache wednesday afternoon, which mysteriously went away after a visit to metropolis. and why after over 24 hours without any caffeine, i'd gotten another headache early this morning.

it's really hard for me to admit an addiction to a chemical substance. after all, i used to smoke cigs (before getting pregnant) quite often and never got addicted. i took pride in my non-addiction while i knew folks who could barely function without their morning cuppajoe. well, pride doth come before the fall, i suppose, and metropolis proved to be my stumbling block. a very yummy, frothy stumbling block.

i guess this means i won't be trying heroin or crack cocaine any time soon, as i've proven that i AM in fact suceptible to chemical dependency.

...well, thank god it's friday, i guess! i can't wait to go to metropolis tomorrow morning! more! coffee! now!!!!
