Damn it, I forgot to turn off my alarm before I went to sleep

Yes my phone went off at seven o'clock this morning, after only three hours of sleep. But I was lucky. That was the worst part of the last day.

The last couple of days have been pretty bad. Okay, they sucked. I'm still fighting my friend to get the work out of him he promised, and he's given me almost every excuse possible. My pile of work is getting smaller, but it's still stressing me out to have so much of it. And last, I'm disappointed my friend isn't coming here to visit. I'm going there instead.

So I needed some fun.

What started out to be a quiet dinner and drink with my friend turned into something far from quiet. Our duo turned to a foursome at the pub. Then it grew to about 15, including a couple of friends I don't see often. Our table on the patio was definitely the cool place to be last night.

I drank way too much wine, and we ended up playing Never Have I Ever, the bar game where each person holds up five fingers and admits stuff about themselves they would never dream of revealing without too much alcohol and getting caught up in the game. Each person makes a statement like "never have I ever attended high school in another country" or "never have I ever had sex on or in my current car" or "never have I ever had sex with two people of the opposite sex at the same time." Anyone who has puts a finger down. The one with no fingers left up loses. Or maybe they win, depending on how you look at it. Then we walk away from the game knowing we've all shared - and know - just a little too much.

Spending time with my good friend and hanging out with other friends cheered me up. The same problems from yesterday are still there, but I'm just dealing with them with a little smile on my face.

On this happy Wednesday, I'll leave you with a random visual. Grownups throwing a giant, inflatable football at a small blow-up goalpost. It's what I just saw in the park while I was jogging.

Love to the single girls,
Addison
