sugar overdose

i wasn't feeling really well. my father had kindly passed on his cold and after the windy day on Samsø, my sore throat was raging. my cousin made a pot of tea for breakfast and as everyone else drank coffee, i ended up drinking the whole pot. with all the sugar this entails (i like my black tea to be sweet). 

i didn't notice, but my cousin made pot after pot, so that by the end of the day, i'd actually had quite a lot of sugar, too. i don't really eat that much sugar on a daily basis and most of my intake comes from fruit or, once in a while, chocolate or biscuits. so that's probably why, when i went to sleep, my body went into fits that seemed like seizures: my arms and legs shot out weirdly without much sense - and without me being able to control it all. it was odd and just a little scary. but as it didn't seem to otherwise affect me, i kind of pretended it wasn't happening and tried to keep sleeping. not an easy feat. 

it hasn't happened since, so it presumably was a sugar overdose. it's made me quite wary of the stuff.
