Done and Doner

Conference - done. Went down Tuesday to set up. Went out with Marti and Carolene. Wednesday was Day One. It went pretty well, just very busy. Wednesday night, I was exhausted and had no obligations, so I went to my room to chill out. When I felt a bit better, I went downstairs for a drink. One drink later I was in a conversation with some nice people and watching baseball, so I had another drink. Then some more people came and we were talking about politics, so I ordered another drink. Then some state legislators came in and we were gossiping about other state legislators. Fortunately neither was my representative or on the committee that has oversight for my agency, because by this time I realized I should have quit at two drinks. Got back to my room and did something that still makes no sense and texted Him. Correction, I think the text itself made sense, at least to me at the time, but not why I felt the need to text Him. I think I was finished drinking, but still interested in making a "connection" with someone. I must of been more gone than I realized, because sober I would have known there was no connection to be made there.

Speaking of sober, I woke up feeling terrible on Thursday. One of the first things I did, after I realized that this day was going to S-U-C-K suck, was delete his number from my phone. Not sure why I hadn't done it sooner, but it's done now. As I suspected, Thursday was the worst. I was so tired I couldn't stop moving because I wasn't sure I could get going again. At the end of it all, a group of us went out to dinner. We ended up staying longer than we had planned, because in our absence the hotel had to be evacuated. The policeman said it was a gas leak, but the otherwise normal-looking women at the next table swore a "gas bomb" had been set off at the Tea Party banquet on the second floor. I am personally inclined to believe the nice policeman, but I plan to investigate the rumor. Glad we were out for the evacuation, because at that point I am not sure I would have been able to walk down 14 flights of stairs. Even better, I now know how to clear out a Tea Party event :)

So today was good, and now I am done for the week. My car is unloaded to make room for football and soccer equipment and the weekend looks fantastic weather- and plans-wise. Headed home to enjoy my family before I have to return to the office and start sorting it all back out. And that's my preliminary report for the week: Hot Springs - great, drunk texting bad. I...am...done
