Thirteen

I have the biggest caffeine-inflicted headache right now. Thanks to my double espresso Cubano from..... where else? Intermezzo. It was so black and thick, almost tar-like, pumped full of more caffeine than any human should consume in one sitting, and it kind of burned on the way down. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I can only imagine this is what a hangover feels like... maybe worse but I wouldn't know. It's kind of the effect I was going for I guess. 

I've been really emotional lately, mostly concerning a B-O-Y. So I just needed to be alone to hear my own thoughts. And it's really hard to hear my thoughts when I'm with him 'cause when I'm with him, I'm emotional goo, and nothing makes sense. (Is this just me or is this all women?) This friendship with this B-O-Y, like any relationship, is teaching me a lot about myself, and in order for me to express me feelings in the least emotional (and most rational) way possible, I have to be alone, I have to write, and I have to pray A LOT! And after that, the world seems to be at peace. 

So tonight I did all three AND I added the "caffeine bomb" to the equation. The world is at peace, but now I'm over-stimulated. And what was my rationalization to counter the effects of my lethal injection? A smoothie from R. Thomas. I figured a smoothie would make up for the nutrition that I did not encounter today, and it was the healthier alternative to a slice of caramel apple pie...... yes, definitely healthier. So I decided to walk an entire 1/2 block to R. Thomas, which is open 24/7 and I ordered the Busy Bee to go. But before I could get to the door, I ran into a a good friend of mine, who also happens to be an "ex" ..... I guess you could call him an ex.... whatever. He was out with his brother and a friend, celebrating a birthday. It was awkward on his part; I could tell. I don't know why.

(that was just a little nugget that made the night a tad more interesting)Anyway. 

Back to my smoothie. It's delicious. pear, banana, mango, dates, friggin Organic bee pollen!! I'm still enjoying it! It's like dinner and dessert all in one. R. Thomas's prices are too high for the quality of their food, but $6 for this smoothie is worth it to me. I will keep going back for this if nothing else! 

In conclusion, I still have a headache and I'm still wide awake, and this smoothie didn't help my "caffeine hangover" BUT it is delicous... you should go try one. BUT you should not, under any circumstances, buy or drink a double Cubano from Intermezzo.... 'Cause you'd be askin' for it!
