Drank some ice tea today, so I'm up all night....seriously not used to caffeine consumption!
Heard from Son #2 today.... He hasn't had as much chance to write as my other son did in basic training. He also has not been allowed to make phone calls as much. I miss him so very much! He's just a great guy and one of my best friends.
Today his letter said he made "Expert" on the rifle range...guess that's the best you can get, so they let him go get some pizza and pop at the PX. He and his buddy sang, "Reunited and it feels sooo goooood" as they ate their junk food!
He graduates from basic on Oct. 15. I will be going to SC...my first time there and it ought to be interesting.
Am going to try to go to bed, to sleep, perchance to dream......
I'm glad you got to hear from your son. I'll bet the "Expert" rating isn't given out lightly, either. Congratulate him for me.
I'm like you on the caffiene. I have to quit hittin' the stuff after about 10 am so I won't toss and turn all night. I hope you were finally able to get some sleep.
Oddly enough I drink caffeinated pop all of the time - day and night (BAD me ) with no problems, but if I drink even a small glass of iced tea I am wired for the day! I believe the natural caffeine in the tea is just different somehow from the stuff stirred into my cola-poison.
I think I have high caffeine tolerance... I can go for weeks without drinking anything but plain water. And then fall asleep while drinking my tea or coffee. When I was in university, I was envious of those gals who could drink tea or coffee to stay awake and study!
