Caffeine Binge

I went out for a late dinner last night at a restaurant run by a client of my father's and got drunk enough to not care that the guy kept refilling my espresso over and over again in an effort to keep us there and talking. I didn't really notice how much caffeine I had drank until the alcohol began to wear off...

The bad news is I got pretty much no sleep last night and feel like shit. This is reminding me of the times back in high school when me and my dumb friends would take caffeine pills because we were bored and didn't have any other drugs or alcohol, and would always end up feeling really sick and regretting it.

But the good news is that I not only managed to somehow finish writing a very emotionally draining story that had only been half complete, I also got halfway through reading novelist Richard Yates' 1961 masterpiece Revolutionary Road!

Now I just have to stay awake to make it to the gym...
