The So Delicious Purely Decadent Coconut Milk ice cream is the best ever. Who needs rice or soy? I can eat the vanilla and coconut flavors without going nuts, too. Chocolate chip cookie dough, not so much.
I also went to Target. It was bizarre because I have been to far too many Targets; I felt like I had been here before. This one was set up like the one in Midway, St. Paul. Pretty quickly the toxic consumerism starts to get to you, but we got a couple household items before that set in.
I didn't do all the work I was supposed to this weekend. I just didn't care anymore. My stamina isn't like some people's. I will burn out real quick, maybe because I don't use any caffeine. At the counselor's, I complained that I was up against people fueling their work with caffeine and that with the relationship stress, I couldn't possibly do it all and would have to quit. This one person has been getting 2 hours of sleep a night. She is a perfectionist with her work, and over committed to a million different great groups (I really respect her, she is a sweetie). But she only drinks tea! Some people must use other uppers--I am very curious about this and the side effects.
When I have spare time again, I would like to study these drugs (through books only). Drugs fascinate me, in a purely academic sense. You can learn a lot about neuropsychology and physiology overall from the effects. One person told me she did some lab drug (some abbreviation she forgets) and she felt like she was underwater, it was a good time. Later she found out it can cause permanent brain damage. Also, she was (is) dyslexic after taking it and had never been before. A part of me is more curious about the psychology that would lead someone to make that choice. But self-experimentation/making huge mistakes/lack of foresight or extrapolation is pretty standard.

Oh man, I got so little sleep during grad school it was scandalous. I think it just comes with the insane workload. Coffee was my best friend back then.
Now I've cut back and just have it on weekends, and drink tea during the week, which is nice. I feel much more relaxed, and rely on my morning bike ride to wake me up and get me going during the day. If I have to drive, I'll have to have coffee, since your body never really wakes up without moving about, ya know?
Maybe you could run around the block when you're really tired - get some of that adrenaline working for you.
