I was a little surprised about today. Not that I went extremely long in my drink last night, if it was a bit deeper in the cup than usual. I did expect a little bit of a rough day, maybe a headache, perhaps a little nausea, some cloudy mental function. Nope. Not a problem. I have to suspect that a decent whiskey (or probably any decent liquor), ounce for ounce, is less problematic than an equal alcohol content of beer. I did sleep later, but that was to be expected, especially since I went to bed so very late. I had zero physical problems though. I did some more cleaning, made spaghetti and meat sauce and just tinkered. Tomorrow I am hoping to make it to the pool. I thought about just taking the week off to clean but I don't really see how that will help all that much, not at this pace. Tonight, in spite of the oddity last night, I should be able to get to bed easily, shortly.
I'm not getting to cleaning as quickly as I had hoped. Then again, I am going through a lot of drawers, stacks of paper, and miscellaneous items. That always takes longer, and jobs always take longer than I suppose on top of it. Of course, if you run into this, you must then understand why bosses can be a bit put out when a job takes longer than expected. Or if you are a boss, perhaps it helps you understand that jobs really do take longer than expected. The frustration remains though.
The girls have been being really nice lately. I think as the season rolls over, even animals are more active and more social? Maybe not though. They may just be responding to my increased activity. To be honest, I don't think the girls (my two cats) really get grumpy. Like children, if they are hungry, tired, just waking up, thirsty, or unhappy with something specific, sure, they can be grumpy. But I don't really see them as being moody over long periods of time, or seasonally... save when it begins to chill to the point where my older cat can no longer go outside. There is about a month of grumpy readjustment then, more like cabin fever. In warmer weather she often will stay gone for most of the day, and even takes her food and water on the patio. My other girl is a total house-cat, minus a few hours a week and then only at night and in the summer. She's a papa's girl all the way, and a homebody. Me? I need some sunlight. Other than that I don't really care. I enjoy the cold more but I get a lot more done when it is hot, so long as I have a way to cool off. It's when it is cloudy and or humid that I hit the skids.
Good night.

ReplyDeleteIs why I drink martinis. Cleanest liquor I know of in terms of morning side-effects.
Fair enough. I guess, growing up, I was always lead to believe that beer was less of a morning problem. My problem may have been that if I drank mixed drinks, when I was a young gun, I drank way too much, way too fast. It might simply have been volume. Before I learned to add salt to flatten beer, the volume and bubbles were natural limiters.
ReplyDeleteNow it seems I have pretty good limiters with mixed drinks, even on a blue moon.
4-5 beers, plus a fifth of Southern Comfort, and a couple of JD+coke is why I can't do Southern Comfort or whiskey and coke any more...
ReplyDelete*blurg*...even the thought, twenty+ years hence...
I tells ya, if'n I had a kid in his late teens, and I wanted to cure him of any proclivity to alcoholism, I'd just have him repeat my experience...
