Despite some obvious connotations, on this occasion this referring to my decision to give up alcohol. It's a sort of lent-post-lent idea. Yesterday was Easter Sunday, and my first day of not drinking until my birthday (25th of june approximately 3 months away.) During the course of the evening I was offered four drinks all of which I had to politely turn down and settled instead for a large pint of apple juice after work. It's a shame really; yesterday would have been a very good drinking day. I wasn't too happy overall, for some reason. I'm still not entirely sure what's wrong with me at the moment, it's probably a culmination of things, but I don't have time to sit and work through then at the moment, seeing as I'm headed back to work.
Aside from completely foregoing alcohol, I'm cutting down on two more things: fried food (especially chips from work, which I eat far too many of on a regular basis) and Starbucks. At this point anyone who knows me may be thinking, "Alcohol and white hazelnut mochas? Impossible!" But that's the truth of it. Mainly for health reasons (I'm trying to uncover the buried muscle I found during The Tour, most say I'm crazy, that it's all myth, but I know the truth) but also because my finances are not as stable as they once were and I need easy ways to not spend money.
So a favour of you, dear minion: should we be in one another's company for a period of frivolity, please do not tempt me with the above substances. And also, please forgive the lethargy which comes with losing a major caffeine intake, and the irritablness that comes from everyday life.
