I feel like I am the only one here that absolutely hates all holidays.

Nope, you're not!

I think that I am going to return to drinking for the time being. Not much, but just enough to drop me at night time. I have too many sick pets right now, I am no longer employed, and vets are frigging expensive. So, too much stress, not enough stress relief. This year, my holiday will be spent not even knowing my own name; that is my goal.

Water is a good choice or fruit juice. Alcohol not so much. Way too many of my friends turned to alcohol when times got tough. They know my life hasn't been easy and they always tell me I chose the best path in not turning to alcohol.
I am becoming less and less interested in any alcoholic drinks, so much so that I often have a slight gag reflex when it's offered to me.
To give context to this, I used to really enjoy a shot of wine regularly. During the covid scare I got "covid", what it did to me is the complete opposite of most people I know, instead of lessening my ability to taste things it greatly heightened it, there are flavors in alcoholic drinks that I never noticed before, yucky flavors.
My sense of smell was greatly heightened as well.

I realize I didn't get any of the kitchen. Oh well, When I's all cleaned up I'll grab a few pics from each room.

Do you have a lot of people over?
It all looks great but a lot like work too. Hope you get to show it off instead of just staring at it all yourself.

I do not normally drink. Last night I had a few very hard shots, room temperature, in quick concession. In other words, those few shots hit me like a bulldozer and I was able to sleep. I had problems with alcohol when I was in my late teens to mid 20s. I have zero desire to go back to it. I do not even have a tolerance for it anymore; it takes almost nothing to put me out, and I stop long before it makes me sick to my stomach. I woke up feeling a bit more hopeful than I have been, and I have that one night of almost awesome sleep to thank for that. Tonight I may have a Pussy Cat or 2 to lull me off, but I need to have my brain tomorrow morning, so nothing too hard or heavy-hitting is going into my system tonight. Depending on the news I get tomorrow, I may switch it up for a clean banana smoothie.
