I Went Out with Girlfriends!
And it was fantastic! Yesterday evening, I could not WAIT to get outta here. And just when I thought I'd go postal for sure and that my friends would be seeing a newscast about my nearest and dearest's violent demise at the hands of their crazed mother, a white Honda pulled up and two angels in black swept me off to dinner with more friends at a restaurant I've always wanted to try and to drinkypoos at a cute neighborhood bar with an angel in red.
OUT was what I needed. AWAY was the medicine for my ills. And those darling girlfriends were just the right specialists to prescribe and administer it.
Am I healthier? Saner? More relaxed now?
Yes. Thank you. A healthy dose of estrogen was perfect for counteracting all the testosterone around here.
Am I still waiting, yearning, longing for bigger bites out of life, time to myself, space to pursue my dreams, and precious contiguous sleep?
Yes. Thank you.
