Thank you, everyone. I’m fine. I think I just have to get used to being over there as a teetotaler. We used to split two bottles of red wine and then I really would call it a night when she did. I’d go to bed in her guest room happy as a clam. So, I can’t pretend I didn’t enjoy myself back then over there or that it would’ve gone badly like in times past, bc it didn’t while I was there.

But...then I would wake up tired and hungover and go back to my place and continue to drink, while she went about having a real life. Therefore, I obviously am not a normal drinker and can’t imbibe. But I did miss it last night.

But, thank you all. I MUST do a better job of recognizing that I myself missed nothing...my beast, however, missed it all and was/is trying to deceive me. Thank you for that critical reminder, dwtbd.
