The streak is over - Viva Starbucks!

My Starbucks streak ended yesterday. It was a good run, I managed to go exactly 6 weeks without my sweet elixir. But it all ended yesterday when I indulged in an iced cinnamon dolce latte on my way home from work.

I've been battling an ear infection for over a week, which has resulted in vertigo. If you've never had vertigo, count your blessings. The spinning sensation is disturbing. I've learned to live with it a bit and can function daily without much problem as long as I remember things like don't get up too quickly, don't tilt my head backwards or to the side, etc. But when I'm sleeping, I have no control and I ended up with a very restless night on my hands. Every time I move in bed I get the spinning sensation. The past few nights have been horrible and I feel a bit like the walking dead from lack of sleep. Then I sat in my doctor's office for over an hour (my fault, I arrived way too early) and the AC wasn't working properly so it was quite warm in the office. The sleepiness set in and my zombie-like trance increased. I needed a fix to get me through the rest of the day. Enter Starbucks.

It was so good. I'd forgotten how much I loved the cinnamon goodness. However, partaking in the drink at 4:30pm did way more harm that good. I spent another restless night due in part to my affliction with vertigo and in part to my caffeine stupor. Damn you yet again, Starbucks. Damn you.
