innerslytherin: (sleepy)
For the second day in a row I have been awake at 4 am. Yesterday it was because I had a horrible headache that woke me, and then I had trouble getting back to sleep. Today...I have no idea why I woke up at 4. Of course, an hour later when I needed to get up, I couldn't wake up.

I've already had a 24-oz bottle of Coke Zero and a cup of coffee and a nap on my morning break, and I know if I have another cup of coffee it'll do nasty things to my heart-rate, so I've started getting up and walking to the bathroom or the water cooler every time I start getting sleepy.

I'm only being marginally successful.

I have things I know I need to get done today, and I had a blessedly light morning with the vendor A/R, but I can't seem to get myself awake enough to get my ass in gear.

Hours of sleep last night: Approx. 4.5 - bad
Caffeine intake today: Approx. 411 mg - v. bad

Tonight I'm going to bed earlier than last night. Managed to get
offline around 10:30, didn't manage to go to bed until after midnight.
Cleaning, dammit. Fought sleepiness today by chugging Coke Zero and
Vault, has resulted in semi-alertness w/ tachycardia. Feeling worthless
to accomplish anything.

Two hours, forty-five minutes, and counting...

Dude. I consumed WAAAAY too much caffeine today. I woke up with such a bad headache that it hurt to move my eyes, so I've taken Excedrin Maximum Strength and Excedrin Back & Body today, and combining that with Coke and then a glass of Vault at lunch...I am SOOO hyped up. This is really not such a good thing. No tachycardia, amazingly enough, but I canNOT stop fidgeting.

Also, wearing my glasses all day wasn't a good idea, because while my eyeballs no longer hurt, I have a headache still, and I think it's because I wore my glasses and not my contacts.

I am going to go home, put on my new Slytherin tie, and veg out with RP, Riesling, and Cursor's Fury, for the evening.

Happy New Year's Eve, all!!!

Some random things:

- I can't stop chewing on my lips today. They are peeling, and it's almost a compulsion to chew chew chew. It's annoying, and it's just a symptom of the fact that I feel like I'm going to crawl out of my own skin today. I don't know where that's coming from.

- My heart is doing its thing today, which it hasn't done for about a week. Blah. ETA: I think it's very likely that caffeine consumption has affected this today. I took Excedrin earlier, and combining that with the Coke and Dr. Pepper I've drunk so far, I've consumed about 413 mg of caffeine since 7:30 this morning. x.x

- It's freaking cold in here today. I'm wearing a tank top, long-sleeved shirt, and sweater, and I'm still frozen. I need some fingerless gloves for typing.

- OMG NANOWRIMO STARTS IN LESS THAN 48 HOURS! I AM SO NOT READY!

- Outlined my entire SnuSa fic today. Yes, I've got it about a third of the way written, but I decided outlining it would help me write it faster. That tactic has always worked with NaNo before.

- I have three fics in various stages of almost being ready to post. I can't believe this--THREE. From the girl who is usually antsy as hell to get things posted ASAPOMG! *grin* One of these is the fic that was originally written for [livejournal.com profile] pervy_werewolf.

- D--- said she does want me to come in on Monday, even though A--- will be back from maternity leave. I'm more than fine with having one more day of getting paid. I need to remember to call Kelly this afternoon and let them know I'll be available for assignments soon.

- I have now received three letters from the USDA letting me know my application has been received. No wonder the federal government costs so freaking much. Three letters for one application. LOL

- I want to go home.

- I hope my copy of Northlander is in the mailbox today. I'm absolutely dying to read [livejournal.com profile] megburden's book.

innerslytherin: (set yourself on fire)
For the past several months I've been having these weird attacks. I don't think they're anxiety, because they happen out of nowhere, literally. I am working away on something, not thinking about anything beyond the task at hand, and BAM!

Heart begins pounding out of nowhere
Shortness of breath
Light-headedness
Dizziness
Weakness


Of course, then I get scared, which does nothing to make it better. I literally have a hard time staying in my chair. I've tried breathing into my cupped hands, resting my head on the desk, putting my head between my knees... My mom gets similar attacks, but even though her doctor made her wear a little portable sensor thing for a while, they didn't find anything. I know mom's mother had a heart murmur. I also have pretty low blood pressure, and my mom I think has an iron deficiency.

I'm about at the point where I'm ready to call my doctor even though I have no insurance. I don't know what this is, but I want it to stop. I've decided, as of today, to cut my caffeine intake, even though today I haven't had any more caffeine than I did yesterday, so I don't know that that's related.

Blah. I suddenly just want to go lie down, but I don't have the energy or presence of mind to drive home.
