"Pour Me..."

TODAY SUCKED. I've been disappointed in my body, didn't feel good, the advisement center on campus went out of their way to make me feel guilty for wanting to take another semester of classes, and to top it all off my husband went on a trip and our last moments before he left were spent being grumpy with each other because we both had a stressful day.

As soon as he shut the door behind him I let out all my pent up crying and turned on "The Good Place" to distract me. Then I got a text from an old coworker who was in SLC for a job interview. (We've worked together the past couple summers in Ohio.) We decided to meet up and have dinner in Salt Lake with my sister and a friend tagging along. It was a fun evening that distracted me from my problems, and if there's one thing the drive to or from Salt Lake is good for it's jamming out.

My sister was in charge of picking the songs from my phone and it felt SO GOOD to just belt out songs we both know and love. Everything from "In the Ghetto" by Elvis to "Whiskey Glasses" by Morgan Wallen.

Even though I'm not a drinker, there's nothing like singing a country drinking song to get out all your pitiful feelings.

"Pour me
Pour me another drink
'Cause I don't wanna feel a thing
No more, hell nah
I just wanna sip till the pain wears off."


I didn't drink away my sorrows tonight, but I sure ate and sang them away. And it felt great.
