I got to play normal again last night!! Yay me! Same group of friends from Tuesday plus one more all came over last night for another night of game night. This time I didn't indulge in too much food or anything and was able to stay up and just have a good time until about 2:30. Start of the day was uneventful - waited for the client to fix network server issues and connectivity problems until about 1, had a conference call for a potential new client at 11, had to run to my bosses house to pick up a laptop around 3, but after that it was all about me and the peeps. Hey, I have friends I can hang out with even when it's not a show - how'd that happen? Damn.
One of the guys brought all the fixings to make cookies - oreo stuffed, chocolate chip cookies. Damn they were insane. These huge mounds of chocolate chip cookies and when you hit the center - BLAM - oreo. Neat. I made 'magic juice' which consisted of gin and TONS of fruit and cucumbers. Was really good and I have some left. They also brought wine and we ordered pizza. Safe, sane, fun, goofy get together. We laughed, played Fluxx, Apples to Apples, and then tried to play Uno but we were all too tired and happy at that point to figure out if we even wanted to play.
This kind of Friday night makes me happy. Not out of line, didn't spend a ton of money (I did pay for the pizza with my card, but only because we ordered online and everyone chipped in their part so I have the full amount of cash on me. I spent about $40 at the store for the magic juice, but also bought food for the week. Plus I have leftover pizza and salad for the next two nights. Can't say I didn't get my money's worth for once), I don't have a hangover, and I don't feel guilty about anything I did. Yet, I still managed to have human contact and have a good time. The more I can have nights like last night, the healthier I am becoming, the less I need other people to complete (meaning female companionship, but I still need to get laid), and the more I know I can survive.
THAT'S how I am supposed to live my life, right?
