Holy hell, who would have thought that going out for the first time in weeks would get me into so much trouble? I mean seriously? What the hell happened last night? I didn't mean for it to get out of control like that. I swear I thought I could handle it.

Heh, I'm just fucking with you.

I did go out last night, but nothing exciting happened, and nothing bad happened. For once, I proved I can enjoy myself without breaking the bank, getting into trouble, or finding myself passed out in a ditch. I went to the movies last night. Yes, by myself. I have no problem with going to movies alone. It's no big deal in my mind. I went and saw Red. Cute movie. A little long given the premise is straight forward, but it was still enjoyable. AND more importantly, I had a drink last night. A single drink. I proved that I can do that too. I showed impulse control. Let me back up and we will discuss.

Spent the morning at the DMV taking care of the vehicles. Got there at 6:47am and was first in line. When the doors opened at 8, I was out of there by 8:09. One hour and thirteen minutes of waiting outside to be done in 8 minutes. Yeah, it was worth it. Back home I put the stickers on the bike and the car. I then decided to go for a ride. I ran over to the bank to get some cash for laundry. That will be today's big excitement. Then I rode over to the motorcycle store to get some cleaner. Unlike a car, where everything is protected by a hood, on a bike, everything is exposed. Being clean isn't about vanity, it's about safety. $5 for a can of cleaner is worth it. Came back, cleaned the bike, did some work. Got a call from one client asking if I could come out today and help them. No problem. That's why the early post today. Have to drive out to the client in a few.

My replacement phone came around 4 yesterday. Have to find a fedex office today to send the old one back. I forgot how clean and pretty this phone was when I first got it. The new one is working great so far. Very happy with Verizon.

Around 6 I headed out to the movie theater. I got there about 6:20 and decided to hit the restaurant next door where I know folks. I went in, said my hellos, and had one drink. Told the bartender that I was seeing a movie and couldn't stay long. And I did just that. Had my drink, went to the movies, came home, in bed by 10pm. Total spent about $30, but I had fun and didn't go crazy or do anything stupid. Yay me.
