Shoulda stayed home . . . in Not All Who Wander Are Lost

I had sort of an annoying evening with the bestie last night. I mean, don’t get me wrong, she is my bestie, we are the bestest besties who ever bested, but even besties can be annoying sometimes, and I’m sure she’s been as equally annoyed with me a time or two. So, anyway. Annoyed.
Originally I wasn’t even going to go out. I had a hot date with my couch and Daredevil season 2. But Jo called and asked I wanted to go out for sushi because we haven’t been out since my birthday and I mean who can say no to besties and sushi? Plus I am the faithful people pleaser and “no” is a foreign word to me, so of course, I agreed. Sorry, Charlie Cox. You have to wait a day.
Jo had had a cocktail before I picked her up so she was already buzzing, and then proceeded to order two more martinis at dinner. She falls into two different categories when drunk, she can be like me - happy, giggly, will turn weepy and tell you how much they love you and cry on your shoulder about how pretty you are - or she can be more obnoxious, belligerent, and pretty unfun to be around. Last night was the latter. She was constantly dropping things and being SUPER loud and just, I mean, no filters obviously but it’s like. Ugh. I don’t know if it was more annoying because I was stone cold sober or if I would have rather have been at home watching Matt Murdock and Foggy or . . . I don’t know. At one point we were talking about our friends’ infertility (they have been trying artificial insemination the last few months) and I said I couldn’t imagine how difficult it must be to want to get pregnant and not be able to. And Jo goes, “Yeah, well YOU can’t.” Which. Sigh. Jo acts like she and Matt struggled with infertility for years when, seriously, she decided she wanted to get pregnant in March and was shocked when she wasn’t pregnant in April. Or May. Like, yes, it was a few months before they got pregnant but it certainly wasn’t anything like our friends are going through. Also, for the record, it took me nearly a year to get pregnant with Kenley, but whatever, apparently everyone forgets that because I was in my 20s and not my 30s so obviously everything was easy for me.
Jo wanted chocolate after dinner and I was so done that I was like, hey, we can get a drive through shake at Steak N Shake but she really wanted to go to Poco and get a brownie. Last thing I wanted I swear to god but she was three martinis in at this point and I knew arguing would make her sad so I was like, whatever. We went to Poco and ordered dessert and I ordered coffee and Jo ordered ANOTHER FREAKING GLASS OF WINE. I was like, ARE YOU SERIOUS. So she drinks the wine and the proceeds to drink half of my coffee as well. And then when the bartender split our bill she did it directly in half so I had to pay for half of Jo’s $8 glass of wine and half of my $2 coffee which Jo drank most of.
And then the sushi box fell in my car and wasabi got on the floor mat.
Anyway. Just needed to rant about that for a minute. I mean it’s fine, we’re fine, it’ll all be fine, but needed to get that OUT. Thanks.
