I am not as YOUNG as I used to be...

As I am posting this it's after midnight..I just got back from my sisters house..It was my nephews birthday, Kristian is now 24 yrs. old. Time had flown by..I went there later today because I was recovering from the night before..This is why I titled this post the way that I did...I went out Friday night to celebrate my 40th birthday with my sister Madeleine, Debi, Monica, Jill, Amanda, Miriam, Karen, Marisol, Kim, Cindy, Leo, Stephanie & George..I think I got everybody..I drank so much..I have not done that in years..Boy, Patron can really knock you on your ass..When they started buying my shot, my eyes were...well, think of a deer looking at headlights..It was funny though, I thought to myself "Can I do this?" I haven't done shots in years..I remember when we used to long, long ago...I had a good time with them all..I am very lucky to have the family and friends that came out to celebrate..They were the ones that thought of doing that..I really wasn't sure if I wanted to..It's hard nowadays to be so carefree..It's like something always stops me..The weather, the feelings and emotions..I laughed, and laughed..I really needed to laugh..I didn't even think of the people that didn't show up..At the beginning of the week, my SIL called to ask me if I was finally going to go out for the birthday or what..I told her of the plans that were being made and she was all up for it..Well, well when it came time for me to leave..I txt messaged her and asked if she was going to come to my house and then leave from her, and guess what? NO ANSWER...She blew me off like a piece of lint off her sleeve...It totally amazed me, when she turned 40, I went out with her, no one else showed up for me but me and her cousin, when she needed help for my nieces 15's I was there to help her pick up the balloons, preparation of hall, picking out dresses, etc, etc...Nice huh???? You're are there for others but they aren't there for you..Well, not NO MORE...I am turning a new leaf...Tired of always being here for people like that, and always getting shit in return...
Well, lets move on to funnier things...After getting shit faced...hahahh We were walking down the street to get to the car..It was me, Monica which was the one driving and Miriam...My friend Leo was parked not far from us, thank God for that..Monica's truck wouldn't start..I said Holy Shit...How am I going to get home..Well, I whistled with my fingers..Another thank God moment, my dad taught me how to when I was young..It has come in handy many times..Leo came over to our car and used jumper cables and got us going...I told him, you have to follow us to my house and you need to make sure I get home..I haven't been in a position like that since I was young...So, I needed the day to recover from the drinking, I woke up thinking to myself "Am I still alive"..
And yes I am..Tired and hung over though...But, in the end I did have fun...
Lets see what comes next...to be continued....
