shitty night: getting called home by the babysitter from a night out and having two cruisers arrive outside your house and seeing a loved get out of one with her belongings.
inebriated: after sorting out a crisis, with the help of a hotel chain, going to the scheduled goodbye party and drinking enough to consider riding the mechanical bull at the local cowboy bar.
anthropology: going to said cowboy bar and discovering a whole tribe of young people wearing cowboy boots and hats and doing the two-step in a bar that *looks* a lot like the dance clubs of your youth apart from the mechanical bull (which you didn't ride after all, wanting to keep the distance of observer).
irony: showing up for your first volunteer shift in need of the organization's services for a loved one, and possibly more hungover than anyone dropping in.

Running on empty
Ohhhh...I hope your morning starts looking up!
At least there was no bull-riding.
Oh Sin! I'm sorry. Except for the inebriation part, I'm thinking that was necessary.
If you had rode the bull, I'm guessing there would have been another definition in there, somehwere (exhilaration? pain?).
Oh man...it sounds like quite a night. I hope that the organization was able to be of help.
Ouch. I hope things get better.
Some weeks are just shitty.
I hope this upcoming one is SO much better. It pretty much has to be, right?
Aww, Sin. I think you have had just about enough, yes?
Good grief, c.g. I'm so sorry for all that. I hope things are better...
oy. i think in light of the rest of the night, really the bull would hardly have been anything but cute.
and your definition of irony entertained me. nice one.
