still been a good girl

I'm keeping track of how I've been feeling about alcohol over the past few days. But it's been hard to really think about it that much. I'm in the last two weeks of school (I'm a teacher) and between tutoring and getting stuff ready for graduation, there isn't time for much else. I've also been packing at night to get ready for my move (also in two weeks).

The weekend starts tonight, but I think I'm going to be mostly busy this weekend. I don't know what's happening tonight, but tomorrow our school is having a garage sale, and tomorrow night I'm babysitting. Sunday I've been invited to have dinner with a friend, so I'm hoping that will keep me busy too. I like my weekends full.

My friend is coming to visit starting next Wednesday, and having her around will also keep me busy. I haven't gotten that book on doing 30 days, the Moderation one. I'm still too broke. One of the things I noticed about my drinking in previous years is that I used to never drink alone. I would only drink in social settings, and even that was rare (since I would have to drive myself, or I was often the designated driver). Maybe the trick is to only drink when it's part of a celebration or dinner with friends. Because really there is no other reason to do it.

What I like about alcohol is the way it tastes in certain drinks, I only like white wine, or girlie drinks. I like very few beers and usually if beer is all that's available I'll pass. I also like the silly part, although in the past I used to get a little happy, a little sleepy, and then I'd just go to sleep. I guess I want to go back to the way it was before. I hope that's still possible.
