it was a good day

Nope. There was no post yesterday. I know! I was doing so well! I have a good reason, though.

Angel and I were supposed to be leaving and driving to our friend Aaron’s house for dinner and a party. In the morning, we’d head to Salt River for some innertubing. Well, there was quite a bit to do so I did not have the time before leaving to sit down and bang out a post. Oh well. Things happen. No one is perfect.

We got to Aaron’s house and Robby eventually met us there. Ate steak, had a couple drinks, and went to bed way later than anticipated. Even after Angel went to bed, Aaron and I stayed up and just talked. Did I mention that he is an ex-boyfriend? So we caught up a little bit, chit-chatted, and then I decided I needed sleep. His friend Ryan came back from a beer run and they decided to go out and have another drink on the patio. I got settled on the couch and tried to fall asleep. That’s about the time that they came back in and neither of them could be quiet.

One of my biggest pet peeves about someone in a living situation is the inability to properly turn a doorknob while opening and closing a door. There is no need to make noise. Especially when there are people in the house trying to sleep. Ryan, who had invited himself to stay the night, took about 30 minutes to finally get himself situated in the recliner with a fan blowing on him. He couldn’t be quiet. At all. I start to doze off and Aaron’s cat, Max, starts meowing obnoxiously. I get him to come back over to me and he curls up with me again. I doze off. About 30 minutes later, I am sweating it was so effing hot in the living room! I go into the bathroom, wash my face and drink some water from the tap, and then try to settle down again.

The rest of the night didn’t go that great, either. Then Ryan’s alarm goes off. Which is the obnoxious rooster crowing that Robby has on his phone. And Ryan doesn’t wake up right away. So it continues to go off. He tries to muffle it. Hello! Just turn the damned thing off!

We all get up and head to the river finally. I will spare you the details but instead go by bullet point:

• awesome group of people
• very calming experience
• hurt my left little-toe so bad that the nail fell off six hours later
• didn’t get TOO burned
• did get very, very drunk
• learned what my level of tolerance is for drinking alcohol

I have awesome friends who took care of me in my inebriated state. I never blacked out and I remember everything. Aside from the–nevermind. All in all, it was a good day.
