day seven: one million shirley temples

I had a lot of Shirley Temples last night. And my friend made me a really good cranberry / basil thing. I need... a sugar intervention now. Oy. 

I've been having a good time with my friends this week (HOLIDAY MADNESS) but I'm exhausted. Thankfully I've just been physically tired after a night of staying out, rather than hungover. I've been kind of grumpy and sleepy this week. But that's because I've been not sleeping that much and staying out until 3AM. Blah blah blee blah.

I'm interested in learning more about chemical dependency / addiction type stuff. I watched a TED talk a few days ago about how after a good stretch of sobriety — the evil addict in your brain says "Hi! See! You're cured! You can drink again!" And then that's how you start the cycle of binging again. So, I'm keeping that in mind and not celebrating any success too soon.  Just choosing to not drink each day. 

Did I mention I'm tired? One to two more holiday friend hangs tonight. I'll sleep when I'm dead. Baiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
