Day 9: Weekend Conquered!

I have emerged  from the DREADED WEEKEND OF DESPAIR ....

TRIUMPHANT ... GLORIOUS ... VICTORIOUS!

HEY WEEKEND! COME AT ME BRO!

Not only did I stay perfectly on plan (without killing anyone) ... I was able to:

• Meet a friend for coffee (and did not doctor my coffee ... although I almost made off with someone else's coffee ... OOPSIES)
• Go to a play reading where there was cheese AND wine
• Have brunch with a couple of friends (poached eggs and fruit for me)
• Sit on the patio, BBQ meat products, and not drink wine

I'm not going to lie. I would have REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoyed a nice, crisp, cold, white wine on my patio (the weather here has been AMAZE-CRAY). But I didn't. I just whined (HAR HAR) about it and demolished the steak that we grilled.

Even today, I had a lunch date with one of my besties at a WINE BAR near my office and managed to order a salad .. with all the dressing, cheese, nonsense ON THE SIDE. And I didn't even finish the salad. (WUT??) 

ON THE SIDE is a magical phrase. It means .. I get exactly WHAT I WANT. I've always felt like a special snowflake-douchey-high maintenance-bitch-face if I asked for amendments to the dish I was ordering. However, the semi-nice server said ... "Eh. It's your food. You have to eat it." TRUE THAT.

My bestie at lunch asked how I was feeling and/or if I had noticed anything different yet. Good question. Actually, yes. Surprisingly enough.

• I feel well-rested (which with a sleep disorder is a MINOR miracle)
• I have more energy
• I am less moody (which I'm sure everyone around can benefit from THAT little side effect)
• Less intense allergy symptoms
• I am less cranky if I'm hungry (which also is a minor miracle)

So far .. no real negative side effects. Which is ... also kinda weird ... STRANGE THINGS ARE AFOOT AT THE CIRCLE K, people.

Until next time ...

BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER. PARTY ON DUDES.
