Yall', I did it again. I found the bad drug called caffeine again today. I know, I never learn. 1:42 AM no sleep. I should have known better that the 8 glasses of iced tea tonight, beginning with the 2 glasses at lunch and 2 glasses of Dr.Pepper at lunch would keep me up. Nope. I was beginning to wonder why the heck I was still awake at 1 and just remembered that I am actually up at 1:30 just now knowing that sleep will be a figment of my imagination. Crap. I can feel my heart pumping this caffeine through my veins into every muscle and my eyes shifting from one place to another. Did I mention the twitching that is involved with all of this? The occasional bicep twitch, glute twitch, and the all time favorite Calf twitch. Pump, Pump, Pump this caffeine through my veins. Try to sleep? I Tried to sleep with no avail. I cleaned up my clothes and was going to put them in the RV, but decided not to make everyone else suffer my caffeine trip. Iced Tea. Did I ever mention that I was in Ohio?
This essentially means that they do not sweeten their tea.... Above the mason dixon line, there is a code of Honor for tea. no sweetener. I know people that ADD sweetener to their sweet tea. Here, they give you like five packets which is barely enough to make water. I am not a huge fan of the Sweet tea thing, but sometimes, I can enjoy a glass or two of southern SWEET tea. But, one thing they give you with your tea is lemons. and allot of lemons. For my eight or more glasses of tea, I had five lemons in my glass when it was all said and done until the waitress got wise and just filled my glass up with the pitcher and didn't add any more lemon. Did you know that refrigerated tea tastes different than non? I didn't until now. So, now that I won't be sleeping tonight... I will just read?
