oh, I am so stupid and now I'm paying for it! I don't deserve much sympathy, but I've got to vent a little!
I've got a 30 pg seminar paper due next Mon (note: the semester is still in full swing--no study period for me). Anyway, I was so tired this morning that I decided to have a tad of coffee with soy milk (more like soy milk with a shot of coffee).  I know, I KNOW....so terrible. Well, my gut ain't fooled and I feel awful! Just had chicken and rice PLAIN for dinner and want to curl up in ball and cry. I was alert for classes today, but now I feel, well, let's refrain from using bad words, but you know what I mean? Argh! I'm just so tired and stressed out (and this with exercising 4 days a week for about an hour, imagine if I didn't). It's a good thing I love what I study or I'd be even more miserable. Mostly it's that this time of the semester is so exhausting and I'm so badly in need of positive reinforcement (none coming in the foreseeable future, though) and my tummy killin' me doesn't help.
Ok, I'm going to go sit in the corner! Or maybe just curl up with the heat pad for an hour and read so I can get back to writing maybe by 8 o'clock.

Yeah, some days I can barely keep my open for class, and I find myself nodding off. But I think once you get going it tuns out well. However, I'm like you and sometimes I just want a nice, big cup of coffee!! Anyhoo, I hope you feel better!

Tuxedo, it was just a small setback. Don't get down about it; it's SOOOOOOO not worth it. You made a mistake, and unfortunately now you're paying for it. That's the best lesson, believe me, because I've done it so many times myself. I'll bet we all have.
Exercising 4 days a week for an hour? I'm impressed. That's a damn good track record, if you ask me. One little slip-up, one lousy little cuppa, does NOT take away from all that hard work. It's just so unfair that your gut doesn't see it the same way.
Thanks for posting this. I've often wondered what would happen if I had a cup of joe -- now I know, and I won't do it! My heart goes out to you, because I know how you're suffering. Just look forward, Tuxedo, don't look back -- it's history, it's over with. Don't forget "the big picture."
Get better soon.
Bev
