1. Soooo I went to a going away dinner for Sabs last night at Chez Elissa.

2. And maybe it’s the stress from dealing with work and my grad school applications or maybe it’s because I’m dealing with the sadness of Sabbie’s departure or maybe it’s just the plain fact that I like to drink whiskey on Wednesday nights but I drank a little too much last night. And by ‘little” I mean I passed out at Elissa’s house and woke up this morning feeling completely displaced and confused.

3. First of all, why WHY do I drink whiskey on a school night????

4. Second of all, I was so disoriented that I couldn’t figure out where I was. Imagine the Bourne Identity. But with a massive hangover. And you have to pee really bad but you can’t figure out where the bathroom is because you can’t figure out where you are! I finally figured out where I was when Chris’s alarm off and he told me to wake up. How sweet are my friends? He set his alaram at 630 IN THE MORNING so I could get to work on time.

5. Then I saw a pink post it note next to my bag. Elissa had left a pencil skirt and a top for me to wear to work.

6. And then there was another post-it note next to a clean towel for me to shower with.

7. I continued to follow the pink post-it notes like they were a sherpa leading me to back to reality. There was a post it on the front door reminding me to take my lunch that Elissa had packed for me (like a mom!). There was even a plastic bag with a muffin, emergen-c and meds to help alleviate my HANGOVER. Yes, it was the kind of hangover that requires ALL CAPS.

8. So I learned two very valuable lessons.

9. Don’t drink whiskey on a Wednesday.

10. Always be grateful for such amazing friends. Especially the ones who have to carry you up a flight of stairs and put you in bed and set their alarms and give you clean clothes and packed lunches so your ass doesn’t get fired during this recession!!!!

11. Oh and I lost my phone. So if you’ve called/texted in the last 48 hours, it’s not because I’m avoiding you. This time!
