5-Hour Energy

[pamelonian]

I tried one of those 5-hour energy drinks today.  I can't say it doesn't work, particularly.  I can say that I feel rather restless.  

I went and bought things to decorate my 2 bathrooms in the new house.  I looked at patio furniture and lawnmowers, as well as plants.  Scary grown-up stuff, but it is also a little fun. 

I am afraid to open a charge account at Nebraska Furniture Mart before I know for sure that I got my loan.  I don't think they will like me opening new lines of credit right now.  Maybe they won't care.  I have no way of knowing.  Loan closes one week from today.  This time next week I can be in my new house.  My car will be parked in my garage and I will be lounging on my new floor, no doubt, because I won't have any furniture!  

Sunflower email is down today.  They installed an update which screwed everything up (sound familiar?).  I was hoping to hear from the loan office today.  Figures.  It is weird not having my main email account.  I have my school email and my gmail, both of which I checked for want of something to check.  I still have the internet and my phone, but I feel oddly disconnected.  

I figure I will use the opportunity to do some reading, some more packing, and watch a movie.  Here's the thing, will the 5-Hour Energy let me just sit around or will I have to be doing something?  Time will tell.  I have about 3 hours left.

So how did it go? Did you run out of steam at 4hrs 59min? Or did it just keep going until you were laying in bed, trying to sleep over the sound of your heart pumping?

Funny you should say that. I did not run out of steam after 5 hours. Instead, I had a terrible time trying to fall asleep last night, plus I woke up probably every half hour. I guess if I ever use that stuff again, it will have to be in the morning. I did get a lot done, though.

I generally only avail myself of energy drinks when I'm tired and I'm meant to go out and socialize (read: drink) that evening. I'll have one before I go out and by the time I'm ready for bed, the alcohol has offset the effects of the energy drink.

Not that I'm endorsing the use of alcohol. I would never do that. ;-]
