No kids. Just alcoholics for relatives. Yes. Being able to track their location during a bender would be great, simply for some damage control.
That was before we changed states to live the fuck alone, just man and wife ~and three pitbulls, four cats, a bunny, and now three pekin ducks~
Before moving, there was a Goth club called The Church.
That outfit would, from what I’ve heard, be far too formal and restrained.
Apparently, and this was coming from a platonic female friend, anal is like shaking hands there so what do I know. I never had the urge to drive from North Fort Worth to Downtown Dallas to drink, and then turn around and drive back after drinking and possibly making stupid choices.
I have two types, natural redheads, and goth chicks.
I can’t. Literally can’t.
I will not fall asleep unless I spend some time unwinding first. Preferably alone.
No, not a masturbation reference, but I just need some quiet and not have to remember every little social rule that no one ever explained to any extent, at least to me, seems like others have an idea though.
Its a time to let go of social anxiety build up.
Coworkers make the anxiety worse, friends too, my wife as well. It builds up and I need a couple hours by myself to let that fade before I have a chance of sleeping, even with my meds, some of which are prescribed simply to knock my ass out.
Then again, as a teenager, I stayed up 9 days straight before a doctor snowed me and I crashed. No, it wasn’t some attempt, it was straight insomnia - it sucked tremendously. Also, no, not coke, being “snowed” on an EEG (brain waves) means the medication has caused such a response in the brain, you’re just getting the EEG equivalent to static on an untuned channel, so I have issues with sleep, and have since childhood.
10pm seems late, lol.
Then again, my social circle would get off work, usually staggered by a few hours as people got off.
Then we’d head to the nearby watering hole and join in the festivities that were ongoing from people who opened lol.
Shop doors were shut by 8pm, give the floor a quick pass to clean up any major debris left over from the day (IE: run the push broom over all floors, scoop up, and dump) and then just making sure that a few things were stocked sufficiently for the morning. Like commonly used oils for oil changes.
Now… well,
Bed time is 9pm. I’m not currently working, but want to maintain a reasonable day shift for when I find work. I prefer overnight, but that doesn’t seem to be an option where I moved.
Wife gets up, I get up, and start with applying for jobs and housework. Weekends mean she is working 7a to 7p, medical work, so standard. So we’re up by 6:30 to get some food/caffeine in us before she works - though, if neither of us are hungry, I’ll acquire any caffeine needed and cook later. I’m not cooking at 6:30am. Period. I will burn myself, one of the animals, or my wife, or the house down so… no, I need caffeine first, lol.
I haven’t gotten a raise in almost 10 years.
Different companies.
Moved to a different state.
Now I just can’t find work period.
Inflation isn’t the only problem.
