Woke up Sunday to volunteer and then see my family. Didn't want to see my family. Even my tdoc suggested that I make something up to avoid seeing them for now, but I told her how uncomfortable it is for me to lie (to take that giant step beyond little white lies). Plus, I had to come up with some cute, kid-friendly, aquatic-themed Halloween costume for the aquarium -- Not only was I lacking in ideas, but also lacking in the desire to spend $ on a costume! How I dealt with this: Saturday night I drank a few high-octane beers (and gave my number to a cute guy clearly 10+ younger -- not gonna work out but always a compliment). Despite all the water and food I consumed I woke up with a horrible hangover. I'm always shocked by how little it takes!!! A hangover (especially when it's 7 AM and you're vomitting repeatedly) makes it SO much easier to lie about food poisoning! Sans costume, I called and cancelled at the aquarium -- they had so many people working anyway -- And then I cancelled on my family, drawing upon the unforgettable food poisoning symptoms I experienced in Mexico. I still lied, but I included a large dose of truth -- so I don't feel too guilty. A little "off" cuz I slept for 16+ hours and consumed at least 6000 calories -- but I'm safe at home instead of walking on eggshells around my father and his temper, etc., etc. Z "I'm going to quit -- dried turkey." - Anonymous
