I haven’t been caffeinated for the better part of last week. Unfortunately, I can no longer stand the lack of it in my system, so I started to bring my mug to work yesterday, and drink some coffee while working (long story really. I would normally drink coffee before going to work, but since I couldn’t get up early enough, I had to drag my mug to work with me). Yesterday, I dropped dead tired right after finishing an entire mug of the tasty brown thing. I thought that was an isolated case, but having it happen twice makes me think otherwise.

Today, I brought a bigger mug with me. You know, the type of mug which is actually a hybrid between a mug and a bowl? Anyway, I drank more coffee today (logically, since I had a bigger mug, I used two sachets of the perky drug), partially hoping that yesterday’s incident wouldn’t be repeated. Could I be any more wrong?

Although I didn’t drop as dead as I did yesterday, man, do I feel tired! I feel like I have been cheated by the coffee manufacturer. Oh well…

I just recently had this conversation in my head, and it’s actually funny how a sleepy mind manages to work. Here goes…

“And so ended his state of being awake,” said Elizabeth impatiently. “There has been many a one, I fancy, overcome in the same way. I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of coffee in driving away consciousness!”

“I have been used to consider coffee as the drink for alertness,” said Darcy.

“Of a fine, stout, healthy alertness it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of awareness, I am convinced that one good cup will drift it entirely away.”

This statement is copied and altered from one of my favorite novels, Pride and Prejudice. And before I explain any further, I better get some sleep.
