Are we there yet?

At Goody's request, I'll abandon my John hat for the day, and talk about something else besides politics and the fact that our governent is being run by a hyperactive eyelid.

Met a couple of my friends for a beer yesterday after work. Needed to happen. This hasn't been my favorite week of all time, for no particular reason other than the fact that it sucked. So anyways, there I am drinking my Casco Bay Riptide Red, which is a fine beverage, only to realize in the middle of out conversation that I had no idea what day it is. No clue. And I was still on my first beer. Now, my tolerance isn't what it was back in the days of 30-pack marathons, but I haven't yet fallen to the point where one beer makes me forget what day it is.

So I asked my friend what day it was, thinking that it was Friday, but prepared for Thursday. You can imagine my shock when I found that somehow I was off by two days, and it was really Wednesday. I wanted to curl up in the corner and cry. As that wasn't really an option (I go to this bar often) I had to man up and drink another beer. Yup, that's right. Two beers on a school night. And, believe it or not, I didn't fall asleep on the couch when I got home.

Trust me, that's not a trend I'm looking to continue. In fact, I'm going to make it a goal to nap on the couch every day. Everybody's got to have goals, right?

and naps. everybody's got to have naps as well. you might want to think about splurging on a hammock for yourself. although, that would undoubtly be taken over by clem. so you'd actually be buying a hammock for her.
