Diabetic Soda....AKA Diet Coke

Believe it or not, I woke up this morning at 6 48. Why would I do such a thing in the summer? Not because I had anything fun planned.... because I had a dentist appointment. The good news is, I have no cavities. And since I have no cavities, I got to pick out two prizes! (I still go to a pediatric dentist, but only because they give me flavored vitamin toothpaste, games to play, and prizes at the end.) So now I am so...so...so.. tired. Usually, to wake me up, I have a nice, caffeinated, Diet Coke. Diet soda is pretty much the only beverage with caffeine that actually tastes good without having any carbs. And usually I drink it anyways every day for a little pick-me-up. So imagine my surprise when I got out to the fridge and see that there is NO MORE DIET COKE!! Whaat??? My dentist was happy to hear this, of course. He's been telling me to not drink soda since I've been old enough to drink soda. But me, on the other hand, was not so happy by this unfortunate discovery. And as the morning goes on, I become less and less happy because I can feel myself becoming more and more tired.
Just to let you know, Diet Coke is definitely not my favorite soda. (Even though I have an "I heart Diet Coke" shirt. But that's mainly because I think it's funny, since it's a shirt about diet coke and I'm diabetic. I know...corny sense of humor.) I even prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke, because Diet Pepsi tastes sweeter. But, of course, if I had to choose my absolute FAVORITE no-carb soda, it would definitely be Cherry Coke Zero. Coke Zero used to be my favorite, because it tastes so much more like regular soda. So imagine my joy when I saw they had a cherry flavor of it too! However, none of this matters today when I'm tired and without the comfort of caffeine to fall back on.
