I was very drunk last night. Very, very, very drunk. How do I know this? It's not that I chose to use SoCo as a mixer for my rum - although there's that, too. It's not that I woke up covered with a blanket on the cold wood floor - although there's that, too. It's not even that I puked three times (that I remember) - although there's that, too. No, the real clincher is that when I took a shit this morning it smelled alcoholic. My feces smelled alcoholic. Blah.
I have slept a lot today. After I drove home at around 9, I changed out of my clothes and slept until 1:30. Then I took a shower and dozed on the bed until about 3. Then I actually got back under the covers and slept until 5. I also slept on and off from about 7 to about 9:45. And now here in a bit I'm going to go back to sleep, because I'm still tired. I really should have, I dunno, eaten something at the party. Or drunk some water. Blah. Happy Birthday Rebecca; I should know better than to poison myself like this. Luckily with enough sleep my body will heal itself; tomorrow morning I should be ok. And ravenously hungry, if experience proves.
On the other hand, I just had a nice surprise, which made up for (1) feeling craptastic today and (2) Grey's Anatomy being very badly paced, IMHO. I got my Annual Statement from the federal Direct Loan people, and apparently when I consolidated my loans, in the eyes of the government I paid off all my accrued interest from undergrad (in addition to the principal, but that doesn't really do anything tax-wise). So... I downloaded the 1098-E, and went off to H&R Block's website to update my online stuff (luckily I hadn't filed yet; I'll wait a couple more weeks for other mysterious forms to come in). And you know what? My federal refund almost doubled. YES! That will make an impressive dent in my credit card debt. I am so very happy.
