Sediment

           I reached Friday with a single hour of sleep. Three heaping cups of coffee (they really are, with the amount of sugar I put in) made me capable of speaking and shuffling around, but not much beyond that. One of the PR services I use had an announcement that referred to "the festive period," which is even worse than "season's greetings." With nothing in the tank, I went to Allston and tried to drink beer with Cara while Lucy, Emily A and Jennifer played cards and Sawwon occupied the couch. I just couldn't and napped for two hours, and everyone seemed listless when I woke up. I felt like I ruined it. To stave off the bleak mood, we went on a CVS run for soda, pringles, cookies and apple juice, played Up & Down the River, and got stupidly drunk before bed.
