One of my friends is going on a no alcohol and no meat diet from this year. It’s apparently already started. I’m not sure how long it’ll last.

Also, more and more of the folks I know are getting pretty sociable. And that’s not relative to me, since I’m not the most sociable cat in the alley, you know ? I mean sociable, as in sociable from lunch to dinner every weekend. They also need to party-hop, which means more than one party per night. These are folks with kids, so I’m not sure how they do it. Me, I have one social engagement one week, and I’m exhausted enough to last a month. Like if you go out being social every lunch and dinner, when exactly do you cook, clean, launder and all the rest of that good stuff ? When exactly do you get time for self, the significant other, the kids, and you’ll all together ?

Really, email is good enough. And then there’s the phone, if you must use it. And reading this post, am so glad I don’t SMS and don’t get SMSed back (Thank the Lord for small mercies).

This isn’t really a rant – it’s more of a post to say I’m all tuckered out from all the holiday season lunches and dinners, and the mountains of food which have deposited themselves on my tummy and the rest of my anatomy.
