Day 16: Passed on drinks with the gals.A Rough Day Would Have Gotten Worse!
Tonight I was invited to join the ladies for drinks to celebrate the end of the year working on a school committee. I like to socialize, however, I don't really like to drink. It doesn't agree with me and can throw me out of whack for a couple of days. It wasn't worth the consequences. If it was for coffee I might have gone.
It also was a long day at work with meetings and preparing media plans. I was emotionally exhausted. There was good news and then there was some disturbing news which threw me into a tail spin midday. For the first day in weeks, I bought a snack from the vending machine. It is rare that I do that so I could already feel the possibility of poor choices. Alcohol would have put me over.
Bottom line. As much as I like to socialize and celebrate, my priority is my well being. Better to avoid a potential problem than to regret it afterwards. Smarter.
