Reaching borderline insanity from being holed up inside with no connection to the outside world, i pulled myself slightly-chilled self together to head out to see real people who talk back on friday night. It's times like these when i miss not having a sympathetic housemate who would be the connection to the outside world of the unsick and bring home goodies to satisfy the unusual cravings of the unwell. Anyway, back to the booze party. My 2 bottles of Schnapps made an appearance and my body quickly warmed to the 2 glasses of Frangelico which inadvertently made me feel a whole lot better. Just what i needed to get rid of the chills. As the rest of the merry men (and women) drank shots after shots, sampling the buffet of liquor spread out at in the kitchen, i happily sunk myself into the cushions and watch the drunken mob compete in the very entertaining game of Singstar. As i continued to rest and recover thru'out the weekend and i squeezed in a short trip out for takeaway coffee and came home with new yellow shoes, a game of Scrabble and a delightful little movie called Little Miss Sunshine. I have to keep hydrated and healthy in order to prepare for the forthcoming weekend of ugly excessive drinking with the lads from work as we depart for our annual trip to the south and i plan to behave very well.
