Just to darn old

I remember when I was a young man, and I could drink what I wanted on a given night and then the next morning when that alarm went off, be up and at it without little problem.

Now it is a different world, I am not that man anymore, and last night I forgot that.

It was a good day at work, had a relaxing evening in the pool with the family. Then the Spurs played a great game to rout the Heat. And in the middle of the Spurs game I came to that point, do I continue with what I am doing with this beverage, or am I to old for this and in the morning will regret it terribly? Well I am at that point I NEED to tell myself "I am just to darn old" in those situations, and you know what, normally I do. But last night I did not. I was feeling to good to stop drinking.

So this morning when my alarm went off, I rolled over and GROANED, and really did not want to get out of bed. My mouth was dry, I had that uneasy feeling in my stomach, and I just wanted to go back to sleep. But because I am too old, it means responsibilities. Ones that I cannot ignore. So I rolled out of bed, slowly made my way to the bathroom, and well you know the drill.

So now I ask was it worth it. maybe, maybe not. But I will say this. In the moment, that large peanut butter bacon milkshake from Sonic sure was awesomely tasty.
