Later on

I've got a quiet day ahead of me. I have been invited to dinner, and I'm going to go. I don't feel nearly so easy about it now that I'm sober, but I'm sure a big mouthful of cider will get me out of the door. Of course it's lovely to be invited, but it will be a strain in that I will be in a completely unknown environment. I expect it'll be good for me to break my usual routine in this way. Deep breath.
