caffeine is...

...THE greatest discovery of all time, up to and including mayonnaise, deep fried things, and the people who actually read my blog and make relevant comments.

Huzzah for you all (all three of you)!

But back to caffeine. This miracle chemical compund atom thingie is singularly responsible for my getting up in the morning, getting into my car, and driving for an hour plus down to my (admittedly) very cool job. It cures lethargy, thinning hair, national debt, and that sick thing called apathy. It's fairy dust that magically drives out the demons of allergy induced headache. It adds immeasurably to things like tea, chocolate, brown and not-so-brown soda pop, and of course coffee. And, it obviously infuses the nectar-of-the-gods - Mountain Dew. witness the fact that the vending machine here always runs out of it three days after it's restocked.

This morning I woke up, bleary-eyed from a hedonistic night of reading (I couldn't put my book down until 2 am) at a friend's house (she has two cats and a dog, and I'm allergic - a fact I keep forgetting because I love animals) with a ferocious headache. I've now consumed supplements with caffeine and aspirin, and three giant cups of coffee - and I feel much better.
