Well, it finally happened again. They slipped me real coffee instead of decaf! I got a clue because both my husband and I were trying to go to sleep last night and ended up awake 'til two o'clock. I'm usually out as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Consequently I'm exhausted today and have to go in for a clearing. My system hasn't had any caffeine for years and I think it just kind of went into shock!

I think coffee houses (and restaurants) give you caffeine when you ask for decaf either because they think it's funny or because they are out of decaf and just don't want to tell you. They think it doesn't matter but they need to realize that some people really can't have caffeine. I think the young kids working probably get a kick out of it. Ha ha.

On the positive side I didn't have a panic attack so I really think that is better. I just really don't function well without 8 hours sleep. Guess it's a little thing in the grander scheme of things but it makes me soooooooooooo mad!
