Sooo sleepy

It is 4:30 in the afternoon and I am almost comatose. Can hardly put one foot in front of the other and have my eyelids propped open with toothpicks. And that’s despite a half dozen cups of strong coffee. But that’s also the root of the problem.

For some reason, and something that’s never happened before, I had such a coffee buzz going last night that I could not sleep. At all. Not even for a few minutes. The harder I tried, the more my nerve endings vibrated.

So, I’m trying to hang in there until the finish tonight. I’m on my last cup of coffee now. By 9:00 I may just drop where I stand, but I’ll surely sleep wherever I drop. I don’t think I’ve ever been so tired in my life.

This is worrisome. Has coffee turned on me suddenly? That’s very bad news.

On the other hand, right now, I don’t care. I just want to go to sleep.
