Focusing on yesterday instead which was a lovely day with my wife, the one who really matters. Of course yesterday would never have happened if I'd been to the party as I would have been rolling in sometime in the afternoon, most likely drunk again without having had any sleep and then straight to bed fit for nothing, instead this morning there is a nice sense of calm & happiness in the house rather than the usual frostiness and sniping / general unease - it certainly makes for a pleasant change. Also the fact that out of the whole office (130 people) I'm virtually the only one with a clear head.
