Caffeine shock

I feel utterly wretched right now. I tried one of those Go Girl energy drinks because I am so freaking tired and the office is all out of diet caffeinated drinks. I think it was a big mistake. I am not normally a caffeine person. I try to avoid it as much as possible, although I do love my iced tea. I've been running on so little sleep lately though, that exhaustion has really started to kick me in the butt. I seriously couldn't stay awake this morning, and usually I just get sleepy after lunch. So I took a drastic measure and bought a Go Girl.

First of all, it tastes fantastic, especially for a diet energy drink. Those Rock Star things that Jim drinks are disgusting and I won't touch 'em, but this stuff was great. Plus it was pink and pretty! I started out with drinking half, and I was perking up with no ill side effects, so a couple of hours later, I polished it off. Apparently my body isn't used to all this caffeine though, because I am ridiculously nauseous and starting to get a booming headache. While I'm awake, I'm certainly not hyper. Ugh.

Oh, and I sampled a bit of some chocolate chip frappucino from Starbucks while I was at Safeway buying my Go Girl. It was freaking good. Of course, now I'm kicking myself for drinking anything that had caffeine in it. I just hope I can sleep tonight.
