ilanaramaSaturday July 2nd: worked on house. Woo.
Sunday July 3rd: went to cookout party at inlaws' ranch. Ate elk shish-ke-babs and too much lemon pie. Got drunk on gin and tonics, strawberry daquiris, and red wine. Fell asleep immediately upon returning home, woke up two hours later, and slept not a wink until 7 am due to consumption of excessive alcohol.
Monday July 4th: worked on house. Went downtown to see parade and ran into our old political friends from when we were heavily involved in local stuff last fall. Remembered most people's names. Watched fireworks from 9th street bridge, which also gave us a great vantage point for the brush fire that started in the cemetery when some of the ashes that fell weren't quite burnt out.
Gosh, that was fun. Let's do it every year.

Date: 2005-07-05 08:56 pm (UTC)Although I do sleep some: pass out for a few hours,
then a restless half sleep with hot flashes and without dreams,
and my skin feels like I'm wrapped in plastic.
Especially when I get drunk on beer, I wake up "sweating hops".
But usually just drinking beer doesn't make me drunk: its only when
I mix the beer with the wine, and then the beer again.
