Well, I weighed myself this morning, and am literally five pounds heavier than I was on Friday, due - I'm sure - entirely to this weekend's Halloween-related drinking.
- I'm specifically grateful that when I went back to the second bar - Simon's - on Friday night, that my cell phone was still there, exactly where I left it with half of my drink. Yes - to your unanswered question, I did take another sip of said drink upon reunion with my phone because: we were all there, so why not.
- I'm oddly grateful for the naked party held at the Call (divey gay bar in A'ville)yesterday. To be clear, it's a non-sexual naked party (though a LOT of sex follows). It was a surprisingly fun crowd - many of whom I was specifically glad to see naked. Being gay is normally ridiculous, but it's even more so at a Halloween naked party. "Oh, another naked cowboy. How original." (That was me, saying that, even as I was in cowboy boots and a bandana. Orville Peck was not threatened). It was actually a blast on an otherwise ho-hum afternoon, and maybe I made some new friends?
- My mom's Halloween costume arrived yesterday. I am very grateful for this because I didn't realize until Friday afternoon that her memory care facility is having a Halloween party today. I emailed my sister and said, "SHIT." She replied "FUCK." I went to amazon. They had a perfect pajama-style flamingo costume - the wings are what really makes the whole thing amazing. Having a parent in memory care seems in many ways like having a child in daycare, and you realize - at the last possible minute - "holy shit, I was supposed to have done x, y, z," today - and I'm ALWAYS just under the wire (except for when I miss it completely). I'm grateful that Artis plans holiday activities, and that this one is going to have a flamingo as part of the flock.
