I usually try to drink only 2 cups of coffee per day, and both before noon, lest I tend to have even crappier sleeps compared to the spotty snoozin’ performance I already endure.

Today I did three (before noon… I’m a madman, I know), and maybe the office brew is a lot stronger than the holidays’ Baileys+coffee cocktail I’d acclimated to, because I was buzzing by 3PM. Buzzing to the point where I felt mildly uncomfortable and sensed the whispers of a potential anxiety attack. Now, I don’t suffer from those on a regular basis but I’ve experienced enough in the past to know the signs. This over-caffeinated state wasn’t really too serious: but I did need to take a few breathers in the later part of the day to keep it from getting distracting.

Then I went home and blasted out almost 3,000 words (2,850).

Granted, the fact that they were action heavy climax scenes with solid signposts plotted out helped, but I also wonder how much influence the roasted bean water had.

Overall, not complaining. Will probably avoid repeating tomorrow though (the coffee part I mean… I’ll take another 3K words happily!)
