Glad to hear things are going smoothly on the home front.
Bummer about the work "event", at least it's been smoothed over.
About the drinking and such....I believe you mentioned that you've been drinking more than you used to since your M sitch exploded.
Well, I kinda think you have company there. Now KNOW I am not trying to make excessive drinking OK, but I've heard time after time about folks here who are having a little more vino than they used to, a little more regularly.
I'm one of them. I looked over our last few months bills and receipts and discovered that our food costs went down, but our booze costs rose, just about proportionately!
So I think it's fairly usual to turn to our vices in these times...BUT it's also fairly easy for that to get out of hand.
Much to my everlasting shame, H and I (who never smoked cigarettes in our entire lives) began taking halls, then sharing a smoke at a bar, and before you know it there was a pack in our freezer! No, I really DO NOT want to become a 1st time smoker at 40!!!
So it is good to try and reign these things in. Just know you're not alone .
