it was the before thanksgiving...

I dropped off Alex at the E early in the morning. M14 was open on they way so I was excited. It was a beautiful morning. We went to Tim Horton’s and they accepted credit cards so I got us breakfast. How sweet. I went to work and it was a good day. I got a lot of my Friday stuff done Wednesday so my Friday could be short and to the point. It was slow at the hotel, which was good, and I did a lot of pre work for Thursday. Alex and my dad came by towards the end of they day and I showed them around. They enjoyed my sales tour. I rock!
Alex and I went to visit my grandma. It was great. I love my grandma and I love Alex. It was exciting and fun.
We went to my house and I changed and got ready for the biggest bar night of the year. I wore my new outfit. Oh yeah, a sexy new outfit, I was pumped.
We then went to CVS and got Alex’s step mom a birthday card and a present. We asked the pharmacist questions and he was old, unhelpful, and then died. The last part was just a wish; it made me not want to get old. He was probably jealous because he did not have any more Viagra. I do not need it. Fuck you. Hehe
Alex and I ate a small dinner at her house. I enjoy her family. Elaine and I shared stories of the E, and her brothers were sad. I ate garlic toast. Alex drank…wine, we toasted the toast, how you like them apples.
We went to Novi to see Byron perform stand up comedy. That was interesting. Wow…stands up comedy…
Jay was supposed to come, and he did not. Alex and I reserved 7 tables and we ended up just being her and I. we cuddled and ate chicken because turkey is not until Thursday.
We then drove to Dearborn and chilled with H and his colorful friend. They ate BK, while Alex drank. I think she drinks because of me. I hope I do not force her to drink. I always say, “Take a shot for me!” and she does. Now that’s what friends are for.
We went to Hamtramck to a new club. H was saying how bad the area was, and I thought it was not too bad. They insisted on valet parking, and then lost the ticket. The club was a lot of fun. For being sober, 5 months now, no energy drinks, somewhat hungry, and around “those people” I had a phenomenal time being the biggest bar night of the year I have ever celebrated. Last year I cried. This year, I nodded my head on the dance floor. Steps, I am taking steps.
We then went to Detroit to another bar. That one is ghetto. Speaking of ghetto, Jody was there. It was great to see him. Wow, I hadn’t seen him since that night. It was bittersweet. I kept thinking in my head if I would have just stayed with him instead of going out how everything and I mean everything would be different. I can’t change the past, I only can create the future, and I am taking the right steps to better myself as a good person. I even thought about giving change to a homeless person, it’s the small steps that count.
We went to H’s house and saw his cat. Jesus Christ I wanted to go home so bad, and it was 3am, cold outside, (it’s kind of like that matchbox 20 song) and I was tired. If he didn’t stop him, we would have been seeing his pictures for hours.
We drove back to Ann Arbor and crashed into bed. What a good night. It was the best biggest bar night of the year going out celebration pre thanksgiving night I have ever had. Thanks for a good safe time.
Don’t drink and drive. bz
