It should have been a Red Bull-

I do not normally do a product endorsement but as the cartoon depicts "It was a no Brainer". I should have taken a Red Bull instead. Now those of you who are aware of the so called benefits of the Energy Drink Advertising that seem to bombard us everyday from billboards, TV, Sports Events and etc. Supposedly to give you mental alertness, more get up and go. Red Bull " Gives you wings".

Would be familiar with all the hype and the Red Bull Logo. I went into the local IGA actually it is now called Shop and Save. To pick up some groceries for the day. On the way back from walking G. to work as I try to do every morning. I was going to have a really hectic day. There was a walk through with a contractor of the Condo and as I am a member of the condo board was required to be present. I had to get a prescription filled at the local chemist. Do the accounts,laundry, work on my music. Do some house work and get the dinner on, write a few letters and of course checking my blog. Just in case someone actually is reading it and to see what the Mermaid is up to.

I am also looking after someone's condo whilst they are in sunny Dominican Republic for a month ,lucky them. Collecting the mail and looking after his one and only plant.

Now due to the Chronic Pain, I do not normally sleep through the entire night and that night I had several major setbacks pain wise so I was up all night.

So I was feeling a little sluggish. So while I was in the IGA . I saw some other brand name labeled Energy Drink. I think it was some PC or Rock Star brand. I remember they were 2 for $2.49, so as I am a sucker for a bargain. I bought 2, thinking they are all probably the same as each other. Well I drank it down at the store and walked home over the Commons.

Well time I got home I was still feeling only about running on 1 cylinder instead of 4, so I drank the other one as well. Went on the walk through with the contractor, more asleep than not. Collected the mail and got in the elevator and pressed the button for the 5th floor to check up on D's condo and drop off his mail. Now I have 3 keys for his unit, so the first didn't work,tried the 2nd. and then the 3rd. Funny none of his keys seem to be working;so I tried them all again. Then I saw some shadow behind the door,someone has broken into D.'s house I thought. The door opened and my neighbor from the third floor was standing in David's unit. So I asked her what she was doing at David's place?

She looked at me like I was completely bonkers ( which I am). Said this is my place. I looked at her then the unit number and saw that it was the right number but wrong floor. I explained things to her. She invited me in to talk about painting and taping her unit which I said I help her with. She made me several cups of coffee. Which I drank and finally I started to revive from being a walking zombie.

So much for that boost of energy and mental alertness from the cheap imitation. I should have bought a " Red Bull" in the first place, one of those really works on me when I am in the blahs and need a quick boost.

It was a no Brainer. I should have known better. But hey, it was on sale and I got airmiles.
