I woke up with a hangover this morning, which was surprising considering I don’t drink. It was in the mid-90s yesterday, and I spent most of the day getting ready for the arrival of my sister and her family.

They showed up at about 3:30 p.m., and we hung out, ate, and talked until midnight, by which time I was thoroughly knackered. I thought I was just tired and overwhelmed from socializing for so long, but when I woke up this morning and felt like I had drunk as much as everyone else last night, I was, to say the least, surprised.

I was a zombie all morning, but I had too much to do today to lose a day to this hangover. By 11:30 a.m., though, I gave up. Today was canceled. There was no way I was getting anything done. I sat at my computer, watching YouTube videos for an hour in a zombie state.

Without even realizing it, though, I managed to drink a gallon of water in that hour. By 12:30 p.m., I felt like my old self again. I guess I was dehydrated, even though I thought I drank plenty of water yesterday. Revived and reinvigorated, I got to work.

I’ve had a bunch of shit listed on Craigslist for months, but it’s not moving, so I shot video of everything and posted it to Facebook Marketplace, and within seconds, I had two people messaging me about a set of drywall stilts. In less than half an hour, they were sold. I’ve never sold anything so quickly before. I’ve given shit away for free quicker than that, but never sold anything that fast.

So, it ended up being a good day after all.
