Summer is in full swing, and I am loving every minute of it. So much, that I have neglected the computer. I am on it all the time during the school year, and I am on it all the time at work, so when I get home, the last thing that I want to do is sit in front of a computer. I just wanted to get on here and get out some thoughts. Not that I am really thinking too much in depth, right now I am trying to live in the moment, to unwind and relax.
Normally, the day after the 4th of July, I have a strong desire/need to lay and wallow around in bed trying to nurse a hangover that has the intensity of a supernova – not like I’ve personally experienced a supernova, but I bet it is pretty damn intense. But this year is different. For starters, I had to work yesterday. While I did get off work at 4:30ish yesterday, it was not the same. I like to start out my 4th with margaritas around noon, and by the time I would have gotten home and changed it would put my starting time about 5 hours later than I prefer. Also, I felt like garbage. I had to get up at like 6 something in the morning to get to work on time 
Add this to a long day of sun and booze the day before, and two days of serious boozing the two previous days. **Think what you want, I am in the prime of my life right now, I love drinking, I have fun, and really, as of right now, I have very few responsibilities right now, and I am making the most of it- and work Thursday and Friday were fucking terribly busy and it seemed that everyone coming to the pharmacy that day decided to be a super douche, so stiff drinks were necessary**
So yes, last night, I felt like death. I laid on the couch and went to bed early, drinking one of my favorite non-alcoholic beverages, other than Diet Coke and Mountain Dew Baja Blast, Arizona Blueberry White Tea. This morning I woke up feeling pretty good, still a little run down, I get sick when I go too long without getting enough sleep, but other than that, I felt great. I went to take Noah for a walk, and I realized that the morning after the 4th of July is like the morning after New Year’s Eve- everything is dead, it seems kinda like a ghost town this morning. I have had the unfortunate experience of having to work New Year’s Eve and the following day, so I have had to spend a few of those sober, and so I know what the day after is like for those that did not imbibe in the revelry the following night. It is eerily quite~ I should take advantage of this and go shopping and get some errands done, but I don’t know. I feel uncomfortable being up and about today, it goes against tradition. Since I was like 18 I have spent the day after the 4th wishing I were dead, and now that I am up to enjoy this less populated day, I don’t know what to do with it. I guess I will get off the computer, try to do some pilates, which I have also been seriously neglecting, and get going with my day. I hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th, and that they continue to enjoy summer.
