Caffeine Low

I'm on a Just Say No Self-Inflicted Caffeine Probation, so I skipped my Diet Coke today. My head was throbbing and I wanted drugs. I started asking around. I mimed looking through purses and my eyebrows were knit together. I put one hand up to my forehead.

Me: Aspirin?
Her: No, thanks. I'm good.

(pause, then a discrete whisper)

Carly: Is she drunk?
Me: No, just stupid.
Carly: Huh?
Me: Stupid.
Carly: Oh. Wow.

Just give it up, girl. The Just Say No campaign, that is. Caffeine is part of our natural world and it's good for you...in that way sanity is good for you. :P
