Life's Little Lessons

Some things I've learned the hard way in the past week, for your sadistic enjoyment, in no particular order.

1. Chocolate & Mint tea that comes in a pretty tin and sounds like a wonderful way to wind down a day is actually quite caffeinated and shouldn't be consumed after 4:00 pm, and certainly not at 9:00 pm.
2. When I am caffeinated, I am consumed by manic Excel cravings.
3. I know just enough Excel functions to do serious damage to my sleep schedule.
4. Ultrasonic mice repellents may only work when they are actually on, or they may not work at all.
5. Dogs are not good mousers.
6. Low-carb diets are low-fun diets.
7. Bagels are not low-carb.
