Dateline 4-27-2017

Boy howdy am I exhausted today. I don't know what it is about having to wake up to an alarm clock that turns me into an instant alcoholic. Since I am so out of practice drinking in general, I now find it twice as hard to drink and get through the next day.

For the most part, I now only drink on the weekends and even then it's only once or twice a month. I also try to pick nights where I know that I have no obligations the next day so I can sleep off the misery.

I don't know why but on the bus ride back from day one of jury selection, I decided I needed a few drinks. I guess I was just slipping back into old sleep anxiety induced habit even though I'm fully aware that I don't sleep better on the nights I drink.

The last two days have been my first experience with drinking the night before putting in a full day's work that had in quite a while. Once again, I am blown away by how I used to be able to do this on a daily basis, as all I could think about all day was how much I wanted to puke and go back to sleep.

 Last night's bender was more to finish off the booze that I bought on day one and now that it's all gone I plan to take another break, at least for a little while. Luckily, I feel so exhausted that I have absolutely zero fears of being able to sleep with a sober head.

Now it's time to rush through tonight's SNL review so I can relax around the house for a while before I venture off to sleep. Sorry for my scattered thoughts about sleep and alcohol, I just gave up on a failed nap and really should let my thoughts settle before attempting to communicate but I just want to finish this day.

And with that, I will talk to you tomorrow.

Sincerely,

The Wicker Breaker
