Is anyone else on their way to consuming a bit of alcohol tonight?

Jeez, I'm on the West Coast (it's 4:20 pm) and starting my third glass of wine.

Not my usual consumption amount, but I'm feeling the stress (and yet, paradoxically, I'm feeling hopeful).

I have found that when my stomach is full, I have much less interest in alcohol. And plenty of liquid helps.

A nap is always a good option too.

On my third glass. And I am still a nervous wreck. Another glass and I will be asleep. Which is good. I don't know if I can handle this anymore.

Can't believe the country has so many dumbasses.
