This is often paraphrased as "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one."
Nothing was being achieved with my constant brain battles, so instead I gave the tickets away. Done. Picked up, gone.
Despite the fact that I bought the tickets way back in May, when I evidently didn't have anyone to go with, since early November I'd come to associate the whole experience down to being with Wellington tonight. And once I'd fully realised that, I decided it would be best to not go at all. So I sent a txt to my best friends (in the in-a-couple category), and they're going. V, who came to pick them up, did offer to go with me, and that was sweet, but I told her I would rather not go than remember why I didn't go with someone specifically. She gave me a well-needed hug.
And V & I can tell me all about it as we're having brunch tomorrow. We were going to spend the day on Waiheke Island, but their bathroom renovations are a little behind on schedule so a two hour brunch fits better in the plans. The weather's crap anyway - just keeps on raining. Plus I have that date-type thing in the evening which I will hopefully be looking forward to more and more bit by bit over the next 24 or more hours.
So! This is the first time I've had a dry eye since my last blog. That's pretty dismal really. h1dd3n tried calling me earlier, but both my phones were on silent when I went back to bed. I called her back but no reply, so maybe we'll talk later. At least I'll be able to talk...
I am now going to shower, get dressed, go buy a lotto ticket, a piece of meat for the bbq and a few beers. Then later on I'll go to the birthday party and I will get tipsy, dance and laugh. I might cry a bit too, but I'm not worried about that. I'm just feeling in a slightly happier place right now, and I want to be around friends.
