Evening Hymns
I had already listened to my daily hymns when Ben asked for pills and soda simultaneously. As I’ve said here before he cannot have both at the same time. Caffeine and Benadryl tend to cancel each other out in his body. So I made him use expressive language to choose between the two. He wanted…

Drink More Water
I had a Dunkin Donuts latte today and a large cold brew horchata from a new Mexican restaurant. That was I found the hard way too much caffeine and sugar. I crashed out from them. Stephanie was able to let me sleep off the crash, and I hope to be able to go back to…

Too Much Caffeine
Stephanie drinks a lot of caffeine because it helps with her ADHD. Sometimes I am foolish enough to try to keep up. In the past 24 hours I have had too much caffeine. I am shaky. There’s not a lot I can do but wait until it is out of my system. I took a…

Feeling Groovie
I slept for 4 hours, woke up for an hour and a half, took 5 mg of DTHC9, fell back asleep for another six, had another 5 mg, and am mellow and alert. The funny thing is that I haven’t had any caffeine.

D&C 89:9
Today has gone smoothly so far but I’ve already had too much sugar and caffeine. That did not stop me from letting my wife order a cold brew horchata for me. I have never read the exegesis about Doctrine & Covenants 89:9 which specifically forbids “hot drinks.” I’m not really inclined to do so. That…

Artificially High
Between the dopamine the sugar and the caffeine I’m in a really energetic mood today. I declined an extra pharmacy shift because real life is hard. I’ve made art and as you can see I’m blogging. I even got up the energy to cook actual food. My wife asked how I was doing and I…

Not Enough Caffeine in the World
It’s 11:20am and I still haven’t slept. I’ve had several big cups of coffee but mostly the caffeine is just making me shaky right now. Don’t get me wrong I’m still not particularly tired even though I’ve been awake for a little over 24 hours, it’s just that I’m moving into spacier territory. I obviously…

16 October 1989
It’s a little after 1:00am and I can’t sleep. It’s my fault really because I drank a Barqs rootbeer at 5:00 in the afternoon. So what damn caffeinated thoughts are racing through my head? Of course it would have to be the first time I was tormented by prophecy. It was the summer of 1982.…
