Slippery wheels careening down past trees and vines, I was only present in the cold numb sting of my fingertips.

Wow. I feel like shit. Now I remember why I don't typically chug

I expected a nice tongue lashing from Jen this am, but was pleased to hear

"He did a nice job."

Unfortunately, as I sobered up, I realized how much it fing hurt.
