If you’ve ever read a Superman comic book, then you know his great weakness. Expose him to kryptonite and his powers are gone. It’s all he can do to just stand up.
I know how he feels. By the end of the day Thursday, it was all I could do to stand up.
There weren’t any glowing rocks from outer space. What did me in was a lack of caffeine.
When I got to the office on Thursday, I had 50 cents with me. That took care of the morning caffeine, but I didn’t get a chance to stop by the supermarket during lunch. I spent the afternoon with thirty pennies, several $20 bills, and a soda machine that would take neither.
Fortunately for Superman, once the kryptonite is taken away, his powers return. I stopped at the store on my way home and bought soda for Friday. 🙂
Hey, I thought you had given up caffeine ages ago…
Yes and no. I did give up caffeine four years ago, but that was only for six months. At the same time I was also cutting out spicy foods, tomatoes and anything with citrus.
Once you cut out both the caffiene and all the citrus stuff, there’s very little left to drink but tap water. (Even the flavored waters at the store contain citric acid.)
Besides, I missed having my super powers.
