Reservation at AA

The 3rd week of December was a heavy one.  

Heavy handed with the drinking.  

How my liver and myself are alive is a question that I can't answer but leaves me ever so thankful to have properly working enzymes.

~~~

First there were drinks Tuesday night (12/18) to celebrate that the following day was both a National Holiday* and James' 30th birthday!

I was meant to be on a budget.  

I was meant to only have two drinks and get the subway home.  

Instead I had a ton of drinks and was out till nearly 5 in the morning.  

~~~

Then there was a little Christmas dinner and drink get together with Rachel and Michael in Nampo Friday night (12/21).

I had lessons to teach the next day.

It was meant to be just a few casual drinks and an early night.  

Instead it was drinks, shots and then a bottle of Jager shared amongst friends and a brain that went black to try and protect itself.

~~~

Then it was Christmas Eve.  And since we aren't home with our families - dressing up and heading off to church - some of us choose to go out for dinner and a few drinks.

I was definitely meant to be on a budget.

It was meant to be a fun night celebrating Christmas.

Instead it was another night of drinks and too many shots.  A few rounds of me behind the bar bar(pre)tending and next thing I know I don't remember all of the night.

And next up is New Year's. 

God save me and my liver!

*Elections in Korea merit a day off!! And the 19th just happened to be the big election - the presidential election - so all civil service workers got the day off!
