crackers bring it home...

Another day finished and I am home SOBER! Hurrah! Almost, almost decided to hit my hangouts after watching Noh theater. It was nearby my hangout area and I wanted a hit after sitting for two and a half hours. BUT....drum roll.....I thought, well, do you want to go home in the morning? And I said, no, I want to go ride my horse tomorrow morning, which means getting home NOW and into bed so I can be up by 5 a.m. and get out to the stable.

The question has worked thus far...about 2-3 days. I know the day will come when I will try to say, having one drink doesn't mean I'll stay out till morning and, yeah, maybe it won't, but I won't try it till I CAN stay out til morning and I have the morning to burn doing so. And that should be a while.

So, for today, I'm home.

Ah yes, the reason for the heading and this is sad. I bought Saltine crackers today because the other morning, I was dying from a hangover with nothing in the house to eat. I needed to get something in my stomach. Being so addicted to caffeine means that's the first part, being able to keep down coffee, but then I need to get some food in because chances are I haven't eaten anything for about 16 hours...God, do I sound pathetic or what??!?!? So, I was thinking, yeah, gotta keep some crackers on stock. And today, because I wanted to give someone a taste at work of the new almond butter I'd bought all the way from the States (and it took 3 months to get here!) I bought crackers. AND, I was thinking, oh, good, now I have some for those mornings when I've been drinking all night...and I stopped!!!!!......and thought, oh, no, honey, them days are OVER!!!

Here's die Daumen druecken and all that.
