The Fiend Caffeine

Thursday night was book club night.  As usual, we went out to dinner before the meeting, this time to Cattle Baron's and had a nice visit.  I was cold, and at Barnes and Noble I bought a Chai Tea.  I should know better. It has caffeine, and I rarely do caffeine any more.  But, usually a couple of glasses of wine counter acts that.  Well, not so on Thursday night. I finally went to bed, about 2:30 AM.  And tossed and turned forever, it felt like. I tried playing the pain management CD that puts me to sleep, but that did not work. I just could not get comfortable. I finally got up, made some Sleepytime Tea, which usually does nothing to help me sleep, and the results were no different that night.  I read, and finally became drowsy around 4:30 and drowsed off and on until it was time to get up to go to work, about 6:45 Friday morning. 

I was not too tired at work, and then ran errands afterward, but went to bed early Friday night.
