41 days to go and this year is done. Another 365 posts in the bad. Almost 1500 posts about my so called life. Drunks say take it one day at a time and I understand that to some degree now. You really do have to take it one day at a time.

Trained during the day yesterday. Another good class. I really do know what I am best skilled at when it comes to work stuff. I have been doing training in one form or another for 20 years now and I have always known it's where I excel. That's not being cocky either. It's simply knowing where your best skillset lies and for me it's training.

After training I ran to the store with the kid to get things for game night. I made a giant nacho platter, taquitos, and a gallon of sangria. Before everyone got to the house, the kid and I watched St Trinian's. EXCELLENT movie. Very amusing. I wish US comedies had the style and wit of British movies. Their movies use real humor versus the fart jokes of american comedies.

People started arriving around 7:30. We ended up with 8 of us total. I managed to keep B in the loop and talk with her both during the day and during game night. We played the new expansion of CAH, had Mean Girls in the background, and had fun. After Mean Girls we put on Beauty and the Beast and the best moment of the night was when we paused playing so everyone could sing the Gaston song. We are a strange lot that's for sure. A couple people left around 10 and we then had a game of Scrabble. That was played with Emperor's New Groove playing in the background. Everyone was out by midnight. Because we were drinking sangria, no one got super drunk or dumb. I have a lot of dishes and glasses to clean this morning, but otherwise, it was a pretty wholesome night. Fun without crossing into stupid without any drama.

Now tonight is my director's birthday party at her house. I have a feeling it will have a lot more excitement as there will be dozens of people there. I am going to watch any drinking I do very carefully. I don't want to be out of control in anyway. I want to have fun but not be dumb. I am going to try and be home around a decent time. Let's see how well I do on that.
