I got to gaze at the big beautiful full moon on the whole drive home from my 2 y/o nephew’s birthday party! Glad that’s over for the month though, since I react too much to it and get so tired & irritable leading up to it. Except it’s not over because I think we have two full moons this month. Oh joy.
That could be a good strategy, Rava; to be sure to send the leftover alcohol out the door with the guests.
I took my two nephews & my niece (11-13 years old) to a water park overnight this weekend with my teenaged daughter, and then we landed at the birthday party afterwards. My knee is so hot & swollen now. I hate being a hobbled person. I used to love water parks. But oh well; I’m old now. It was nice to get a chance to get the kids together for some fun, and I hope it helped to give my widowed brother some time to himself, except that it was only a day which isn’t that much.
It was quite an alcohol-focused place, which you wouldn’t entirely expect since it’s chock full of young families with tons of kids and babies. The adults get the 46-ounce plastic jumbo margarita glass right away in the morning and walk around with it all day. That and lots of beer cans & aluminum bottles. I’m glad I wasn’t there with adults as that would be hard on me.
I drank too much iced tea at the birthday party, and then couldn’t sleep last night. Was casting about for something to relax & brighten me. Forgot to pack drinks for myself.
I like how the drug that I no longer drink makes people relaxed, funny, uninhibited, and chatty. Like the effect it had yesterday on my one brother and my one sister who have also both crossed the line. But, I no longer want their big bellies and ruddy cheeks. And I no longer want to risk drinking & driving.
Our temperature went way up yesterday to a beautiful spring-like day and melted much of the snow. Even though there were people on the ski slopes yesterday when I passed it. Today is raining. 24 more for me please.
