Lost a day

Hangovers are not a good thing. They are worse as you get older. I was out last night in town on a lad’s night out. We drank some beer, wine, beer, long island ice teas($2.50). I got home early. I didn’t drive. I got a lift back. Worth doing if you want to live without the life sapping guilt of a manslaughter charge hanging over you. Lots of Texans don’t seem to make that connection and will drive when they really are unfit to piss in a corner. Anyway, got home, slept on the sofa, went to bed, got up, drank propel water. Had painkillers, had anti acid, had antihistamine (probably couldn’t do any harm) and then walked around in a fuzz all day.

If you are expecting a revelation here about the cocktail of pills being an unexpected hangover cure – sorry, its 10pm and I feel worse than I did this morning.

I did manage to go to Macy’s today though and I was looking for some nice new clothes. The kind that wouldn’t make me feel my age. I was disappointed when the woman who worked there came up and said, “sir, this is the young man’s section” – customer 0 staff 1. Note to Macy’s, if you want the dollars don’t pass judgement on your customers.

I don’t have a new top, I have a hangover, I now look too old to be in the section of the store that I want to by clothes from. Next thing will be an artificial hip and an ear trumpet. An a life alert necklace. “Help, I’ve fallen over and I can’t get up”. If they market a life alert necklace with a connection to the GM OnStar network LifeAlert could be onto a winner in Texas.

Too drunk to work the remote for your car. Press one button on your necklace and OnStar can open the door, start your car, program the GPS and send you on your way. On second thoughts… that’s probably what the drunk drivers do here on a Friday anyway.

Happy Labor Day
