It's a bit of mind-fuck isn't it. Like last night I dropped the kids off at a four-hour fantasy card game event and went through the motions. I hit the gym first for a swim, and during the entire swim I had to talk myself out of having a few drinks. It's been habit for so long to sit down and write with a drink! Originally I wanted Mexican food but going to a Mexican restaurant means there will be Margs and tequila. I had to eliminate the temptation. Instead I went to dinner at place that doesn't have liquor and wrote a little during dinner. Then went back to lift weights at the gym. Then sat at the grocery store near the kids' location and wrote a little more. It's not like I would have gotten blasted on tequila, but I would have spent extra money on a drink or two and for what reason? I felt great this morning and hit an early yoga class before the kids woke up.
