Energy, wherefore art thou?

I have been dragging my butt for weeks now. Not necessarily feeling bad, but not feeling good either. I ached all over and the idea of getting out of bed each morning has been an Herculean effort.

Today, after crying about it, again, my daughter asks if I would like to try a 5 hour energy shot. I've never consumed this concoction before, and quite frankly was afraid to try it. However, since I've started punching up my vitamin intake and it still was having virtually no effect, I thought, "Sure, why not."

So, Brit gets one from her "stash" and says that maybe I should start by taking only half. I drank said half and followed it with an apple juice chaser. (it doesn't taste very good) Within about 20 minutes, I started feeling a LOT better.

Maybe I could paint the house by nightfall.

I need someone to clean my house. Do you do windows? Just kidding. At least it would get you to come for a visit. We miss you and Lee and the kids. Maybe we'll get amtitious and take a little two-day trip. Don't be too surprised if we do or don't. We'll see.

B12 SHOTS! They did wonders for me when I was having a really hard time with keeping myself sane. I have dragged since I stopped getting them, but if you look on the side of that lovely bottle, it's got a nice dose of B12.

But look at the caffeine content, too. It's powerful stuff.
