Yesterday morning
Amy got up pretty late. Which means I got up really late. And neither of us really had time to make coffee. So I got out the instant coffee, because it's not actually possible for me to remember where I work without at least one cup of coffee.
Sadly, we were out of teaspoons, so I grabbed a tablespoon. This mistake came into clear focus about an hour later, when I was having one of those so-awake-I-can-feel/hear-my-heart-beating experiences, and I realized that I had put a tablespoon of instant coffee in my cup, not the teaspoon called for in the directions. And it was a heaping tablespoon at that. That's like what, 4-6 cups of coffee in one? (And strangely I did not notice anything funny about the coffee at the time.)
So, the tragedy: I had so much caffeine in my system that when I got to work I didn't want any real coffee, even though we have an infinite supply of free Peet's coffee at work.
(And I had a terrible headache yesterday afternoon too, which at the time seemed very mysterious to me.)
