Wow
As of today, C and I have been living together 5 years. Those of you that know us might understand why that is such an accomplishment.
He has seen me through all the good and all the bad (and there was a fair bit) that comes with your early 20s. Hopefully, not just MY early 20s.
This weekend was both good and bad, and not much knittiing was done. Friday was fantabulous. I left work after a half a day, C and I dropped the pup at my Dad's and went to Princeton for Indian Food, Medeski Martin and Wood, and the Bent Spoon. Great concert, awesoom food, wonderful night.
Saturday we got up early, got some breakfast and spent the morning reading until my Dad got back to his place, then we went out for lunch with him before heading down to Philly. C was meeting the guys for a bachelor party, and I had a date with Rosie's Yarn Cellar, where I purchased some Calmer to make a CeCe. Then I met up with my cousin, with whom I discovered, I cannot hold my own with Business School People.
No joke, these people drink like fishes, and Sunday was not fun. Not fun at all.
The experience has lead me to reevaluate my drinking. I'm not saying that I'm quitting, or that I have a problem, but that I've noticed that with more than 3 drinks I don't make good choices for my health. I sometimes "forget" that I quit smoking, I drink more, and I eat badly so that needs to stop just to take better care of myself and avoid hangovers from hell.
I'm a knitter, spending an entire day on the couch without the energy to knit, and it was brought on only by my stupidity . . .not worth it.

Sometimes it is good to take a step back and think about things like drinking. I know I have to remind myself that there is no way I can keep up with my siblings but the almost Pavlovian response is to try to do so. Hope you are feeling better and knitting today.
