Dateline 7-5-2016

For someone who has the luxury of setting their own schedule, I'm finding that I prefer the normalcy of weekdays over the wildcards that come with the weekend. That said, I've never been a real fan of the weekends. If given the choice, I've always opted to take off Tuesday and some other midweek day while others were preoccupied with work to then play at night when the world is less crowded.

I say this now as I struggle to recover from my three-day weekend bender where I fell into the usual trap that comes with jumping off the wagon. As I point out every month when this happens, I can't believe I lived like this on a daily basis for most of my adult life which leads me to take longer breaks from my former favorite vice.

Being that it was a holiday weekend I decided to give into temptation and celebrate Saturday with a few drinks. I had fun, watching movies and playing games and woke up feeling fine as if I conquered the whole hangover thing that I now deal with every time I throw one on. That's why I decided to accept my cousins invite to do it all again on Sunday night.

 Where Sunday was a fun day, Monday was a bit of a struggle but it was still technically my day off so I decided to polish off the leftover booze to get it out of my place. There was only enough to get me annoyed so I walked to the store to get a couple more drinks to finish off the holiday.

Now the booze is all out of my house and I am back on a break. Again, I have no intention of giving up for good but every time I drink I feel less and less like fulfilling my romanticized visions of the degenerate life that I used to love to live. 

Oh well, now I need to lay down for a bit to recover just a little more before getting back to work on my app building class.

Talk to you tomorrow,
