A Day Lost to the Wanderers Punch

Ok, it's true. I got a little too drunk Friday night. I actually - and this is the truth - have never been THAT drunk before. As Dave Attell would say . . I did not "black out" at all during the night. .but I did quite a lot of "time traveling." You know, first thing, I was at the bar, next I was outside, then I was in a car, next thing I knew I was on a bench at a new bar, and then I was safe and sound in Melanie's bathroom throwing up. (and how and when did I get this stamp on my hand??) I'm sure this was all quite pretty for my friends who were the ones that actually had to HOLD ME UP to get around to all these places. Yes, I have done my fair share of taking care of the drunk, and I shouldn't feel bad that I've now done it ONCE in my life. (little bro would be SO PROUD) :/ But as an ALMOST 32 year old. . I can safely say - I don't plan on doing THAT ever again (or at least until I forget how sucky the hangover was). I lost ALL of yesterday! I was throwing up, little headachy, couldn't find a comfortable position, always searching for the cold side of the pillow, trying to focus on the TV. . and Melanie ended up NOT hanging out with Brian - so we could have TOTALLY done something fun. . but no. . warmest day of Februrary, and here we sat INSIDE - in PJ's - watching TV and ordering IN.

Oh well. . . .today is a NEW day. . and I'm feeling good.

REFLECTION:
Before the whole drunken Friday night, I did have a PRETTY good day - I went to divorce court with Paul - and that whole thing should be over WITHIN 4 weeks! We were commended by my lawyer, and the judge for having everything taken care of before we entered the courtroom. NO fighting, no haggling. . . pretty much my lawyer read our agreement into Record. .. and we're on our way! Also - our house went on the market - and we've already had 3 showings! Keep your fingers crossed for a QUICK - yet profitable SELL! Would be a GREAT birthday present - to have a divorce decree AND a closing date set!
