Theophylline
Wave 772

As I was sipping up what felt like my third coffee in three days, I felt strange. First I felt broke, because mixed drinks are not cheap. Second I felt absent, like I wasn't actually sitting by myself at Caribou. I felt like I was lackadaisically hovering over myself as I tried to study but couldn't. Thirdly, I was unconsciously analyzing the effects the Theophylline (present in the cocoa part of my drink) and Caffeine (present in the mocha part of my drink) were having on my heart. I guessed that they were having synergistic effects on my heart rate. Trembling to feel my pulse, I found it somewhat elevated and then I noticed the hands on my watch yell at me for wasting time. They were literally screaming at me. I didn't know if it was the perfect mix of carmel, coffee and cocoa; or just a figment of my imagination. Ignorance sold me out, and I decided to resume my studying and the remainder of my lonely weekend.
A fair point was made that Valentine's Day is a mere 26 hours away. Regarded as one of the more stressful "holidays," it could be deemed as one of the more lonely ones also. I sit and wonder if I will even hold up to my own challenge. I probably will, and probably do something stupid at the same time. But doing nothing could be worse. At least I know I'm trying to make someone's day, even if someone else is already making it. A little extra love never hurt anyone.
I believe I'm going into online silence for the next couple days until I get these tests taken care of. I wish you all a very rewarding Valentine's Day. Filled with love and the ones that love you back. Have a good evening.

Happy V-Day to you too.
