It's Only Tuesday

Shockingly, painfully hungover. Had a business dinner last night – we started with drinks at 6:30, had a couple of cocktails before sitting down to dinner, drank several bottles of wine with dinner, scotches with dessert, and finally, blessedly, we finished up around midnight.

I grabbed a cab home, and at some point realized that my motor skills were not what they should be (barely had the capability to make it up the stairs to my apartment, and it took me a few minutes to figure out how to unlock my door). Thought I would die when my alarm went off at 6:15 this morning, but like a champ I got up. My boss looked like hell when she arrived in the office, my assistant only just got here (almost an hour late), apparently I sent out a couple of emails that weren’t exactly coherent (since I was the first one at my desk and felt I should do something – I'm so stupid), and we’re all hurting. A lot. Life sucks all around, and we have another business dinner tonight. Also, company Christmas party tomorrow night, a date on Thursday night, and another date on Friday night – help. Just want to curl up and die.

Note: It seems our waiter last night was given my phone number – I was not the one who gave it to him. How does this kind of shit happen at a business dinner, you ask? I don’t know. I just do not know.

Any and all hangover cures are welcome in the comments section. Fuck, I’m not going to make it.

Juice. Eggs, sunny-side up and good and runny. Bacon. Double Bloody Mary made extra spicy. Sleep.

In that order.

You're welcome.

Personal experience tells me that each hangover is different, and you've gotta go with whatever feels like it'll work. Sometimes that's greasy food, sometimes it's sitting rock still in the one position that doesn't feel completely like death. Good luck! You're a trooper.

Biscuits and gravy and Guiness

Water, juice, a piece of fruit if you can eat (and if it doesn't make you think too much of the cocktails).

I know it's hard but NO COFFEE- that shit only makes it worse.

That is right. Coffee makes you thirsty and will dehydrate you. Drink iced tea. Tea quenches thirst and will help settle your tummy. Its in all the survivor manuals.
