Egad, I am tanked to the gills. You have to understand that I seldom drink, and even more rarely do I drink to excess. But tonight we were finally able to take K & C out for a belated birthday dinner for C, who is always in Kansas on his actual birthday. I had warned everyone in advance that S would be our designated driver, noble and self-sacrificing soul that he is, so the three of us were free to get legless. I dragged everyone to Luau Polynesian Lounge up by Green Lake because the food is great and the drinks (especially the Zombie Bowl for Two) are lethal. In fact, I think the three of us were half in the bag after the first bowl, and we had what--3? 4? total. After a pu-pu platter, entrees, and desserts, we waddled back to K & C's to decompress. They are inches away from the big move to KS, and I am still trying so hard to be the supportive, helpful, compassionate SuperFriend. Come Wednesday or Thursday, whichever day sees the wagon train roll out, I will be a blubbering mess.
On the way home, thanks to the inhibition-lowering effects of rum drinks, I was able to work out a 10-day-old conflict that had scabbed over between S and me. He is going out of town Wednesday at the crack of dawn, leaving me alone during a terrible time of year, a time of loss and grief, and I wanted to clear the air about our issues. I don't want him to go away with anything still hanging between us.
I dread Tuesday morning because I know I am going to have a hangover measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale. It was mostly worth it, although I didn't lower my inhibitions enough to tell K & C all the things I want to say. I guess that's why the good Lord created pen and paper. But anyone who reads this thing should be aware that I will be wibbling here for days.

We can use them to share our fears and anguish with friends and acquaintances (and even random strangers), and suddenly people are there with *hugs*, and condolences, and advice. Sometimes virtual life trumps real life.
