A New Year's Fiasco [Tuesday 31]

Worked from home for the whole day, had something good or other for lunch probably, don't remember, we probably watched tv too, everything's a vague mist about this day actually.

TD and I were going to Remnant brewing in the evening, we had invited SS and SR. Our plan was to brewery-hop around the area, then take the Green line to SD's (in Brookline). We got to the brewery almost exactly on time, a little early maybe even, I showed TD the lay of the Union Square the donuts the himalayan kitchen everything even the little Indian/Nepali store and Market Basket. We took a nice picture there and started drinking at the brewery. I hadn't had a drink in a long while...since CC's job declaration couple of months ago, so got the Mango Sour beer, which was so good. SR and SS joined us after maybe half-hour or so.

It was good conversations really, and we were having an incredible time. The three of them ordered the same drink(!), I was alone with my sour beer. On our second rounds, I obviously didn't get a second, they ordered two of the sours that I'd ordered, and one of the stout, I got too eager and brought out the question of chocolate. Namely, if they wanted to try it. They did, and we did. TD claimed to be microdosing on it.

Soon after, SS didn't feel so well, we had to leave, get wine for SD's, and SS and SR went home because they weren't 100% well. We were a bit worried later because SR also took a second chocolate since she wasn't feeling quite anything yet, but apparently it worked out fine. We took an uber to SD's.

Greeted everyone, everyone was nice and great, I was expecting SBK and PB to be in Poconos but they were at the party which makes me wonder if it was their plans that changed or if they were lying about the Poconos. Had the appetizers since PD wouldn't take out the entree before they were done or they'd be wasted, had a little bit of the veggie biriyani, socializing socializing, and then things started slowing down. The chocolates started hitting. Talked to the lady-friend of RQ who was quite a fun person it's a pity I didn't get to know her better, talked a little about business with PB and SD, and thought was generally having a good conversation, but realized TD and I were both feeling a little spinny. So we profusely apologised to everyone, ordered an uber home, and returned. Back in bed by 10pm on New Year's eve.

Of course there's the part where we got lost in their parking lot while trying to order an uber, and might have been lost for an entire night had a nice Canada Goose guy not turned up and given us the directions out of that maze which TD was fortunately able to make sense of and we escaped it, got into our ride, back home safe and sound, asleep many hours before the strike of midnight.
