True story

[yendi]

The last hour or so:

1. Get Aleve from break room.

2. Make cup of coffee.

3. Wait for coffee to cool enough to gulp (instead of sip), allowing me to wash down the pill.

4. Forget that I was waiting on a pill (even as my shoulder still throbs), and chug the coffee when it's cooled down a bit.

5. Notice the pill one second after finishing the coffee.

6. Make another cup of coffee. . .

Yes, after three cups of coffee, I finally gave up and went to the fucking water fountain.

Just for the record, caffine makes muscle pain worse, because it tightens up the muscles.

Ah. Alas, getting anything else done requires caffeine. Fortunately, the Aleve works pretty well.

Which is ironic, considering how many pain relievers have caffeine.

Three cups of coffee in an hour? 0.o

Caffeine does help with migraines, though-- it's actually a major ingredient in Excedrin migraine. So your shoulder might be worsened by the coffee, but you won't get a headache, hopefully.

Is that a lot?
Because, like Adam, I can drink and entire pot in about 45 minutes.
