Just another manic Monday, Wish I wouldn't have had such a Sunday Funday....oh wait, I didn't and I feel GREAT!


Sunday's were always one of my favorite days of the week because it was perfectly acceptable to have Bottomless Mimosas or Bloody Mary's on a Sunny patio, stylin with those favorite pair of shades, at 10 am without any judgement. Where it gets tricky is once you start this routine, it's hard to stop, soon, you're planning your weekend brunch drink menu along with whether you should make blueberry pancakes or breakfast burritos.  But, always with a side of fruit because hey, we care about our health.  Now this almost never ended after brunch, as we all know, because once you have one, the second is easier to order and after 4 you just quit paying attention; coming to terms with the fact that tomorrow is going to be one hell of a day to get through!

Today is different, it's Sunday, football is on, playoff football, so tomorrow would have almost been a guaranteed vacation day because I hated working on Mondays.  I hated being hungover, period.  But at work it's almost unbearable, shaking, anxious, head pounding and the biggest reason, most employers tend to look down on having a screwdriver to get through your morning hangover.  Instead, my ex and I, would use our well-earned vacation days for the important things like the day after a sporting event or the day after you get home from a week long Mexico vacation because who doesn't get drunk (for the 7th day in a row) on an airplane? 

These are still things I think about, I think well if I land at 11 pm I will have to drive and I would have had x amount to drink so I will just have to Uber to and from the airport.  I have to remind myself that I don't have to worry about things like that, I will finally be able to just have a sprite instead of, a large sprite from the airport food court that I just spiked with 3 travel mini bottles in the bathroom before boarding.  Fun fact, you can carry 3 ounce closed bottles of liquor (also known as a nip, thanks Boston) on an airplane in a clear, see through, zip lock baggie, just like shampoo or perfume.  So naturally I always carried on my liquor opposed to my bathroom essentials because if you don't bring it, they probably sell it where you're going.  Unless it's like, a remote camp site in Alaska.  Then maybe you check your bottles and take tampons and shampoo like a normal person!

So today I am going to my favorite, local watering hole to enjoy playoff football with some of my favorite friends which most have become more like family.  I know I will have a soda, tea, VP no potatoes or lemon water but a funny thing happened that I didn't think EVER would-  I will still laugh, tell stories, have fun, make memories, not have a manic Monday and hopefully watch the Chiefs head to the SuperBowl! 

Saturday's and Sundays' consistently evolved from harmless lunch beer/s into all day drinking marathons.  Everyone has heard the saying "you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning".  That is 100% accurate and a hell of a lot of fun until it's not.  For anyone out there about to have a Sunday Funday, no matter what kind or what you're sippin' on, I hope it's fabulous.  But in case your Monday's are or start turning Manic, and it happens quick, you can change the routine, it's tough at first, but funny thing is, you just start to consistently feel better.  Happy Sunday my friends and GO CHIEFS!
