dragonlady7I don't usually get this, but having coffee this morning has made me way too jittery. I have such a high body weight that most chemicals don't affect me in small doses, but one cup of coffee, woo, man. I can't focus on anything and can't hold still. It's very weird.
I had basically four hours of hard exercise yesterday, what with the morning practice and then the evening practice. I expected not to be able to move today, which is kind of normal for a Monday-- after a hard workout Saturday morning, then a hard one Sunday morning, I'm usually useless Mondays-- but I had to get out of bed this morning to answer the phone. (I'd been lying there for about an hour just avoiding moving because of dread.) I got up and spoke coherently and hung up the phone and was halfway down the hall to tell Z (it had been his phone), before I realized I wasn't at all sore and had been dreading for nothing.
Really. Truly. So I guess the way to avoid sore muscles is just to go exercise a ridiculous amount *more* after having exercised a ridiculous amount.
Maybe it's revved up my metabolism so I'm reacting weirdly to the coffee? I don't know. I'm also drinking water like it's my job, but mostly out of a sense of obligation. I really didn't keep hydrated that well yesterday.
Argh, I have a lot of things i have to do today that require concentration, and I'm just too revved up to do any of them. i should go for a jog or something, but exercise is really the last thing I need right now. And I just plain don't have time...
But i have even less time to spare for sitting around jittering and unable to focus on anything! Boo. I need my brain back.
