The morning after the night before.
I can’t believe I’ve got a hangover from two G&T’s and
half a bottle of cava. Christ almighty, that’s just bloody pathetic. It wasn’t
like one of the nightmarish hangovers where, you wake up, have that blissful
second of amnesia, lift your head off the pillow and then it slams into you
tidal wave of pain and nausea, “Why am I actually dying?! DYING!!! God damn you
to hell Rose!!!” (I can be slightly over dramatic at times) Thankfully not
today though, I’ve learnt my limits through some very hard lessons over the
years. Very, very, very, very, very hard lessons…. Best not dwell too much on
those! This one’s been more like a nagging nuisance of tiredness that’s dogged
me all day. I could have let the
hangover take over, but I’m WELL HARD and pushed through. That and the boys
demand perky mum, not get-out-of-my-face-my-head-hurts mum.
Thankfully because of those very, very, very hard lessons
and three pregnancies and much breastfeeding in my twenties, I’m a light
drinker these days. I tend to have a
glass of chardonnay a week, if that, and that’s it. My alcohol tolerance is now
really low and it’s not a bad thing. It makes me an insanely cheap date, which
is handy for Valentine’s Day! We had a lovely, humorous and ‘free’ time. By
that I mean it’s just nice to remember that we are actually a young couple
still, and now and again it’s precious to get that time together minus the children,
as much as we love them! We only went to ‘La Tasca’ and had a few drinks in the
Croydon institution that is the ‘Green Dragon’ but it was perfect.
In non-hanging news: I HAVE THE MAC!!! Myself and the kids
made the tram journey to Wimbledon yesterday, spent a lovely hour with the
hugely generous Maeve who then gave me the Macbook I remember her bashing out
many a mind blowing academic essay on (you have not read an essay until you’ve
read a Maeve essay. FACT). I can no longer call it ‘Operation piece of crap Mac’
as that just feels wrong! I Just need to acquire the adaptor and mains plug for
it and the bottom half of the screen has viewing ‘ishoos’, but that is
absolutely fine as I have a monitor I can hook it up to. Maeve upgraded the
hard drive not too long ago so I don’t even have to battle with a slower, 2006
era operating system. So, as far as the Appymum challenge is coming on, it’s
all good in the hood. Once I’ve got the last bit of kit I need, I’m good to go.
Objective C here I come.
