Having a turtle mocha for breakfast was probably not the best idea I?ve ever had. Allegedly it has three shots of espresso in it. I am not exactly sure what that means being as I am a coffee-illiterate. What I do know is that it?s liquid chocolate-caramelly goodness. And on chilly minnesota Monday mornings, it?s like heaven in a paper cup.
But there is a price to pay for such goodness. I think my eyes have detached from my skull and are floating centimeters in front of my face. My right leg is bouncing uncontrollably and when I can stop it, my big toe starts tapping in my shoe.
There is a sparkler in my brain. it?s located in the back of my head. I can see it. I can?t seem to focus on anything and I feel a little like I am floating about two feet above my body watching everything happen around me.
Washing the mocha down with a diet pepsi probably wasn?t a good idea either. I?ve listened to REM?s ?end of the world? three times in a row now. In my mind I can sing fast enough and I know all the words.
Is there an antidote of caffeine overdose? Am I heading for the mother of all crashes?
Bread products work for me. Actually, any kind of food works to drown out the caffeine. You could try the turkey thing and see if the sleepy drug in it calms you down. Either that, or listen to some Morphine or Leonard Cohen.
Vodka.
Three shots of espresso is the equivalent of a gram of cocaine. Just so you know in the future.
you’re gonna crash. 🙂 just keep drinkin’ caffeine. that always works for me. woo hoo!
