too much of a good thing

you know the saying there is such a thing as 'too much of a good thing'? i have rarely to never subscribed to that ridiculous theory regardless of the context. lets think of some good things that are easy to mention...chocolate, ice cream, baileys, cabernet, naps, fresh air, extra leg space on a long flight...still not seeing where too much of any of these would not be a good thing. topping my list of good things is the beautiful and life saving pot of coffee i start everyday with. i have never believed in too much of it (with the exception of when i was pregnant and went through some significant withdrawals all for the love of the peach) and i admit i do require a minimum of two cups to speak in complete sentences, but today i realized what happens when i have dare i say too much. you know that feeling you have when you are running late and traffic just isnt moving quickly enough, lights arent changing fast enough and every song on your radio makes you feel edgy? take that feeling, make it for no reason and then increase it exponentially. i had too much coffee today without any food to help balance that surge of joy that the blessed little bean gives to me. my mind was scattered and i was trying to do too much aimlessly and managed to jump from task to task without completing anything.

i took a shower while thinking of all the things i needed to get done and dried my hair only to realize i hadnt rinsed the conditioner out. i couldnt for the life of me find matching socks and the dog we are taking care of (the cutest little rat on a string if you ask pat) was practically floating behind me trying to keep up with my exceptionally pointless, but nonetheless hurried pace down the hallway on our last quick trip outside. im either singing or rhyming virtually everything i say and am continually having to retype words as i miss cue them. ugh. i would love a nap, a chance to try and wind down but with my eyes as wide as a chihuahua, im venturing to say that would be pointless. maybe food will help. yes, the kind of food you eat when you have had too much to drink and are following the universal rules of bread to help soak up the beverage and water to begin diluting it. (who makes this stuff up anyway?) okay, no more caffeine today, i will forgo the 3 afternoon diet cokes and just simmer down with some tea. ill even make it decaf. im also thinking this could have been preventable if maybe i had just eaten before firing up that second pot which has me thinking it wasnt too much of my good thing, but maybe too little of something else. thats a thought. a completely logical one, too. enough said on this one, ill post more later this week while better half is on a business trip.
