Heyo!
How was/is everyone's weekends so far?
Friday after knocking off work, one of the busiest weeks I've ever had, I caught a life with my sister back to my parents place (country Australia) to see them, as it was my Dad's birthday Thursday gone and I hadn't seen either of them in a couple of months. I mulled around their house and with them, played with goofy animals, and then Saturday night caught up with two of my closest friends who still live in the area.
We went out to a local Thai place, which is legitimately some of the best Thai I've ever eaten. It's amusing for a relatively small country Australia town; the restaurant was established by exceptionally talented chefs, most of which take two months off each year to return to Thailand, visit their families, and brush up on their recipes. Those who've travelled to Thailand cite the food as the closest they've tasted to the real thing. The place doesn't even have a phone, so you can't book or order takeaway without visiting directly. It's right in the centre of town, quite large, and exceedingly busy. Incredible food.
We went out for a country pub drink afterwards, and despite my initial plan to head back to my folks, my good friend lured me back to his place to hang out with him and his fiance. They had a bounty of a locally sourced Shiraz gifted for their engagement party, and neither of them drink reds. A bottle and a half to myself later, on top of numerous beers, and I was a total mess, enveloped in painful drunken D&Ms and whimsical boozy philosophy.
Sunday I felt like shit and wanted to throw up during the ~two hour train ride back to my apartment. Today I still feel like shit, but thankfully work was very quiet. Nevertheless, I just want to crawl into a hole and die. Fuck alcohol.
