So, the oddest thing just happened...

It's Saturday morning here, a time that would normally be reserved for staying in my PJs and nursing a nasty hangover. This morning, however, I woke up early and headed to the local farmers market a few blocks from my house.

As I was walking around, shopping, doing a bit of people watching, etc I was suddenly hit with the realization that I was SOBER. Like, "Wow, I'm really doing this!" I didn't feel foggy headed or nauseated; I could look forward to the stuff I have planned later today rather than crawling back into bed. What was really surprising is how hard this realization hit me. So hard in fact, that I sat down on a bench and started crying (from relief, I suppose). Luckily, I was wearing sunglasses so I didn't look like the crazy lady crying on a park bench!

Have a great sober weekend, everyone!
