‘Twas the night before the greatest weekend of the year as friends gather to eat and drink like teenagers with adult money all the while busting each other’s balls and laughing so hard that it hurts. You might think that last part is hyperbole but after more than one of these I’ve had pain in my nonexistent abs and side. These fuckers are funny and I can’t wait to see them.
So much fun that I need to take pre and post vacation days around the event. Today was the pre as I cleaned the apartment, packed, and purchased supplies for my convalescence. I like coming home from a trip to a clean house and most importantly clean sheets. The one thing I don’t like about this apartment is the size of the washer and dryer which make the chore a pain in the dick. But I got it done. I like the clean sheet thing so much that tonight I will sleep on top of the bed to preserve the clean sheety goodness. Even using a pillow from the guest bed because I am broken.
So now I wait. There is an early call in the morning as I’m meeting some of the crew to golf. This means getting up and hitting the road ready to rock. It might get bumpy as I’ve only been out once this year but the game will be about the laughs not the score. I have mentioned in the melancholy past that I need to get out and hang out with people more but golf ain’t it. I enjoy time with friends but removing the activity itself meaning I could sit outside and drink with the same people minus the game then I would have the same amount of fun minus the aggravation. Nonetheless I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
On the hangout with other humans front it has been suggested by my local council of advisors that I join some things. I like that suggestion and that’s what I’ll be looking into when I get back. I’m also considering a weekend part time job to get out there but I’m resisting that due to certain covenants to which I’m bound for the next ten years or so. I am also resisting the urge to date at this time. I don’t have the stomach for it right now. Adding boys weekends to my list of relationship non negotiables.
