I stayed up drinking until 2:30 last night. Or this morning, I guess.
I haven't done that on a school night in probably three years. When I used to do it all the time.
I feel damn good, too. And I'm just not trusting it.
Sometimes, when I wake up after going on a bender, I actually look better than normal. My cheeks are rosy, my lips are plump and my eyes are wide open. This usually lasts about an hour.
Then I realize my cheeks are rosy because my rosacea's starting to flare up, and the ugly little bumps will be canvassing my face in no time.
My lips are plump because they're horribly chapped.
And my eyes are wide open because my body's asking my brain, with fear and alarm, "What the fuck did you do to me last night?"
Then it starts to change. The center of my universe decides to camp at a point right between my eyebrows. All my energy, all my focus, and all my care in the world just decides to sit in this one little point and it HURTS. My eyes go squinty due to lack of sleep. My lower GI tract should be starting to bark right about ... yep, there it is. Excuse me.
OK. Back.
I'm pale now. And all I want is sleep and ibuprofen. It's 9:04 a.m. Holy hell, this is going to be a tough day.

power through it....it's friday and all you HAVE to do this weekend is sit around and relax.
PS you have no idea how much i wish that i could be the one with a hangover today! i miss benders-
Oh, it was so easy at age 26, wasn't it?
I did that last week on my break. It was a Sunday night solo-bender after Dave went to bed. 3:30 AM found me sneaking out of the house for a heater - I found a hidden pack with 3 left! Great idea. Monday and half of Tuesday were a total wash.
whenever i wake up feeling okay and looking okay from a bender, i know it is just a ruse and that really i'm still wasted.
then at like 3 p.m. i'm doing downward dog over a toilet.
I like the training regime! You will be in great shape for GW!! Wash a couple of advil down with 32 oz of water with a couple of Emergen-C - it will work wonders. If that doesn't work, 2 soft tacos supreme, cheesy fiesta potatoes and a large Mountain Dew often do the trick.

I stayed up until 2:30 last night too! No bender- just a few glasses of wine, but I feel like I drank a liter of vodka. Seriously- I feel hung over without the fun or embarrassing pictures to show for it.
Old sucks.
Ibuprofen does nothing for me- I need the glory that is Excederin every time. Also, Alka-seltzer works wonders when your tummy is involved- I highly recommend it.
