Which means tonight is my staff party
Every year
Towards the end of the season
They head out for a well deserved treat
Last year they went to the races
But this year we are going to, wait for it...
....Bingo!!
Yes Bingo!
Why on earth are you going to Bingo I hear you ask
Well
The two house keepers at work are avid Bingo fans
And this is their last year working before they retire
So we decided to do something that they would enjoy
We are meeting in a pub this evening at 7pm
Then after a couple of drinks
We are heading to Bingo for 8pm
They will most likely go back to the pub afterwards
I am both really looking forward to tonight
And dreading it in equal measures
Obviously
I won't be drinking
And I have been thinking about how I'm going to manage that
In reality
I don't need to explain myself to anyone
But I know I am going to be asked what I want to drink
And I'll just be asking for a soft drink
Really it's no ones business whether I drink or not
All I need to say is that I don't drink
Period
I'm getting my hair done at 3pm
I'm getting some braids on one hAlf of my head
And I'm going to wear a sleeveless shirt with jeans and some smart trainers
For me
Comfort is the priority
I spent too many years
Trying to be someone I wasn't
And let me tell you
That is utterly exhausting and soul destroying
Thank the Lord that I don't have to do that any more
Any way
Look
I will go
And do my best to have a good time
So
I better run
I will post tomorrow to let you know how it went
And of course to share some photos with you....
That is a given
Ok
Talk soon
And see you on the next post....
Have fun!!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't worry about the drinking as far as what other people think. I know a ton of people who don't drink alcohol simply because they don't like it. Probably no one will even take any notice.
I hope you win. Are there prizes if you do? I won 10 euro at bingo last time I was in Achill. ....you know you're in Ireland when the entire village shows up to the weekly bingo at the pub xD
Have a blast at the party! Can't wait to hear all about it...and see photos of your hair, sounds amazing! Don't worry about not drinking, it's others who have the problem, not you, you're strong enough to stay strong, I believe in you. Thinking of you loads, hoping you're having an amazing time! Xxxxxxx
