Sunday morning...

My phone rings at some unearthly hour and I wake up..thankfully not hungover but feeling slightly rough. Not as bad as I thought but perhaps I'll keep on the minimal alcohol thing for some time until I'm stronger. It was a weird kind of pissedness. Like a small amount really affected me and I got all dizzy. Clearly, my tolerance had subsided and time will tell if it will ever be the same again. More to the point, I'll have a lot of fun and frolics trying..

Anyway, it was Andrew and we had a hanging out date doing whatever I wanted to do. He sounded spritely and chirpy as always. May I add, he's a legendary caner and party animal yet he's on facebook at some ungodly hour communicating with the world. I can't help but admire his tenancity.

It was a lovely Mexico City morning. I live right next to this artist's market which gives a convivial bohemian air to my neightbourhood. Also, there's a great fruit and veg market too and as I hadn't been for a while, it was great to go back and have Andrew carrying the bags for me. No I don't like it but right now, it needs to be done. He was enjoying it and was admiring some of the cute guys there. I was admiring the fresh veg. Andrew informed me that most were straight. Any gay worth his salt wouldn't have emerged on Sunday at 12 noon and will be either still fucking, sleeping or partying.

Later on, I continued my spurt of new found energy and met up with a girl I met a while ago. A vegan film maker who was interesting and it was about time I pushed myself out of my comfort zone of just hanging out with close friends. I was worried that I'd forgotten how to socialise and relate to people apart from a select few and even that could be difficult.

The afternoon was pleasant and it was great to forget to be a sick person for a while. Surely, it was hard work but nonetheless, it was doable. I left feeling quite happy.

What really made me happy though was that I got glimmers of myself again. It's days like this make me realise that I could be well on the way to recovery.
