The End Of An Era

Well, actually the era probably ended years ago, but I'm just discovering it now. I had a Coke with lunch, and about an hour later decided I'd have another one (how's that cutting-down-on-sugar thing going, Christian?). I got about halfway through it and had to stop due to a stomachache and general queasy feeling.

Although I eat a lot of candy, I switched to sugar-free sodas a while ago (I'm partial to Coke Zero, though I drink my share of Caffeine Free Diet Coke, aka Double-Fake Coke, as well) and rarely drink soda with sugar (or, more accurately, high fructose corn syrup) in it. So I don't know exactly what I was thinking. I do know that what I really need right now is a bottle of water and a nap.
