I am very sensitive to caffeine, a lot more so than most people. How sensitive? Well, you know that headache you get when you skip your morning cup of coffee? I get that after drinking decaf for a few days. What most people don't realize is that decaf coffee is not completely decaffeinated. Depending on the brand, decaf coffee still has anywhere from 1% to 10% of its caffeine remaining. And that little bit is more than enough to have an effect on me.
So why the caffeine lesson? Because yesterday I was craving an iced mocha. Normally, I get a grande decaf iced mocha. Yesterday, in my infinite wisdom, I went with a venti iced mocha. Yep, that's right -- more coffee with full caffeine. When I walked in yesterday, I was hot and I was thinking venti means more coldness. However, in my rush to get that coldness, I completely forgot about the caffeine. So not only did I get a drink with full caffeine, I got one that has an extra shot of espresso!
Fast forward to 3:00 am. I was still awake. I drifted off somewhere between 3:00 and 4:00. Fast forward to 7:30 am. The dog was now awake. I didn't get much sleep after that.
