Happy Sunday morning! Where did this weekend go? I’m actually having a three day weekend because I took Friday off as well. It was a vacation day. It was a mental health day. And it turned into a day-drinking fest. So much for not drinking, as I said a few entries ago.
See, I wanted to get a lot accomplished again - kinda like I did two Fridays ago where I had a bunch of errands to run. But this time I wanted to do it in my own neighborhood. And I also didn’t want to have the semi-frantic pace that two Fridays ago ended up feeling like because the maintenance people couldn’t get my car serviced in time for me to beat the horrible 5 o’clock rush hour on a Friday.
ANYWAY. I decided that it would be less of a stress day and I’d start out with getting a mani-pedi at 9AM. And when I got to the salon they offered me a drink, and I thought, what the hell, I’m taking a mental health day, so I’m going to get a mimosa! So I did.
I ended up getting another before the whole service was done. And then I guess I was off and running.
I’ve been in communication with JKD (remember him?) again for various reasons, but mostly because….this is going to seem long and complicated, so to keep it brief, he did a favor for me last week and it was very nice. So I told him I owed him one and asked him if he wanted to meet me for lunch in his neighborhood so that I could thank him.
We ended up going to kind of a trendy spot where we both proceeded to drink - I had more mimosas and he had some kind of vodka concoction. It was a really nice, long, extended lunch. We sat outside through lunch and decided to move it inside to the bar when it just got too hot to sit outside.
So we had one more drink at the bar and that’s when he tried to put the moves on me and I sort of let him for a little bit because it felt really good at the time. Yes, I was drunk.
And oh, by the way, even though I took a vacation day, I had agreed to be on a conference call at 3:30 to discuss a few urgent matters with my biggest customer. That’s right! I was going to drunk dial into work!!!
JKD needed to go anyway because his phone was blowing up over some meeting that he’d called and he was MISSING so that he could hang out with me. I find that half appalling and half kind of hot. But then again, I was three sheets to the wind at the time.
JKD asked if he could drive me home (I don’t think I would have made it in the heat and in my condition), but he needed to grab something out of his apartment, so we went there first. Of course, the dude tried to put the moves on me again. I’m not sure how I feel about that, and I shut it down pretty quickly.
He got me safely home where I went and checked my email. Lo and behold, the conference call was CANCELED, thank goodness!! and So I took a nap. A two hour nap! In the middle of the afternoon. I should have known that would happen because I do that every single time I day drink.
When I woke up, it was almost time to pick the dog up from day care and my friend Emma wanted to have an early happy hour with me…so I picked up the dog and we met out at the park where I tend to meet everyone lately. Em had brought a fun friend, H. I had ONE drink - it was all I could handle, but it really rounded out the day of drinking. Em and her friend, H. were running 11 miles the next morning, so they didn’t want to stay out late.
I was in bed by 8:30 on Friday!
Yesterday was a NO DRINK ZONE day for me, and it was awesome. Got up early, walked the dog, went to the farmer’s market, did some cleaning and meal prep for today’s cooking, and that was pretty much it.
Today I’m supposed to walk the dog with Bachelor Party Marty and his dog and then …who knows? I had a super sexy dream about him in the wee hours of this morning and woke up pretty much aching and agitated.
OK. Off to make a small breakfast and then get on with the day!
xo, GS
