Aftermath

Agh. I got that blotchy red thing, despite trying to remove food out of the equation. Stupid allergic reaction! I started to get it right around the bus ride home, and ended up conking out a lot on the ride home. Back at the office, I tried to drink a lot of water, and was on the verge of going home at around 4 PM. Even my boss Deb, after seeing me, told me that I should just go home.

Stubborn bastage that I am, I stuck around. Ben, Justin and I left the building around 6:30 PM, and by that time… tons of water and a Quarter Pounder later, I was feeling a bit better. The three of us, geniuses that we are, decided to stop off at Monk’s for some more drinks.

Peanuts. Water. Coffee. Tequila and whiskey. It took me a long time to even get my drink down, and we were all rather sluggish from this spike in drinking activity.

We ended up taking the Blue Line back to Justin’s neighborhood, picked up some beer and a bottle of Jim Beam, and hung out at Stu’s house for the rest of the night. Alex and Dave stopped over and, though they brought over a movie, we ended up just hanging out and talking a lot. A bit later on, Katie stopped by and hung out with us.

We all called it a night around 12:30 AM. Early, but Stu had been up since 5:30 AM. There was some talk of plans for tomorrow, which I’ll have to check into.
