clarity comes after the violent hangover

Aug 15, 2006 14:51

i like life today. i only say this because lately i've been in a really unjustified slump. i was feeling weird about everyone, including people who really didn't deserve it like my amazing boyfriend. the rock bottom of this slump is a toss up between me choosing to smoke with the girls (none of which are going anywhere anytime soon) rather than spend the whole night with dion on his last night in the city, and drinking 6 vodka tonics sunday night and blacking out until monday when i was forced to call in sick because i was violently ill. turns out if you throw up enough times and you've been drinking something as volatile on the stomach as vodka and tonic you get horrible acid reflux. both of these decisions are completely inexcusable - they were just plain thoughtless. for someone who always thinks things through and acknowledges the consequences of my actions before i act, this was pretty bad.
so after my horrible guilt-ridden day of hating myself for inflicting an illness on myself that caused me to lose 8 hrs. of pay, i decided that i couldn't wait to get up this morning and start the week over the right way.

* today: work at longwood til 5, golds with kates, tanning, maybe grocery shopping, and hanging out on the hill with the few people left if it's not too late. but fuck drinking tonight. alcohol still = the devil

* wednesday: work at longwood again with the fabulous auditors. these guys were here today and they remind me of the 2 bobs from office space, with their short-sleeved dress shirts and bad personalities. but they audit all over ma so they know the whole worcester area pretty well. they heart savers bank hardcore. they said it's their favorite bank to audit. so we chatted about southbridge and sturbridge and restaurants there and stuff. then they leave and i am informed that these two guys are a couple. amazing. i had thought it was strange that they shared a lunch of leftover mac and cheese. anyway i'll be out of work early tomorrow to get my hair cut with ash at my new fabulous place on newbury. then hopefully he can round up kates and jules and go out for on last hurrah before ash goes back below the mason-dixon.

* thursday: last day at longwood for the week. no plans yet but probably gym, tanning, and chillin with kates again.

* friday: back to coolidge and then home to the bridge. hopefully dion will be able to make it out that night.

* saturday: quality time w/ the fam and boyfriend!

* sunday: amazing concert with my bro

so its shaping up to be a good week. my whole attitude has done a complete 180 and i'm back to loving life again. i'm glad it took extreme poor decision-making to make that happen.
