Dear Beer and Wine:
I know I’ve been MIA. There was no inciting incident; I just thought we needed a break.
It was a real break — a Ross break not a Rachel one.
Just look at this screenshot of my Dry January app.
Yeah. It’s called Dry January, but it tracks drinking for the whole year. My wino friend Goat Yoga Lisa suggested it. (The icon is a cup of tea, not a duck. British developers, I guess.)
It wasn’t just last month, though. Here’s October:
- Oct. 5 was an ill-advised night out.
- Oct. 19 was the Decatur Brew Fest.
- Oct. 24 was the Big Freedia concert (one beer).
- Oct. 28 was a glass of wine after a spectacularly difficult day at work.
My life has been kind of great without you.
Coffee and water are good company.
I’m not sure how long I’ll want to stay away from you and your friend liquor, though. Christmas is coming up, and I love a good spiked eggnog.
So maybe I’ll see you soon.
Love,
Beth
