Wasted Weekend - Part 3.

Well, this weekend wasn't totally like the previous 2 - with me getting up and just starting to drink all day. Yesterday I was up around 4:30 in the morning and took my car to be inspected. I got to the dealer @ 6:25 (they open @ 7) and waited for around 2.5 hours for them to get the job done. Around $550 later my car passed inspection. But as I was waiting, there was a cruel reality that hit me.

I try to block out the holidays as much as I can from my thoughts. And I don't call it "The Holidays", I can them "The Helladays". As I was sitting there watching TV, I saw a Christmas commercial and it just reminded me of how hard things are going to get. But I've prepared myself for Thanksgiving at least. I've put together an "emergency kit" of sorts, consisting of 2 bottles of Wild Turkey, a bottle of champagne, and a case of beer. I figure that should help keep me numb for the day.

I'll probably do the same for Christmas, but New Year's Eve will require more than just that paltry amount of booze to help me deal with the emotions that day. But I have time to figure all that out, and I'm actually glad we have only Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's day off. I don't need extra time to be thinking about things, especially this time of year.
