I have got the coffee jitters

Every morning I get to work and before the first hour is out I either walk over to Dunkin Donuts or someone else goes and and I put in my order for a medium regular light and sweet. I just love my coffee. It’s so warm and yummy.

…but there’s a downside.

By the time 10am rolls in I have turned into a jittery mess. I might be yawning uncontrollably by then. My muscles tense up more and more as the minutes pass and I have to stop myself about every 10 minutes and lean back in my chair try to relax and take a deep breath. My chest is the worst. I don’t know if it’s my heart or just the muscles in that area. But it’s an uptight, anxious, jumpy kind of a mess.

God I hate this feeling. From now on, decaf.
