Cold morning

Christine had a birthday this weekend, we went out for dinner on Saturday and had a few friends over for drinks afterwards.... I was pretty nervous throughout the afternoon before the dinner plans. The whole "hurry-up-and-wait for the scheduled social event" was in full swing. Cold sweats, nervous twitching, upset stomach, numb limbs.... There was no way I could back out though, this was Christine's day and I was gonna take her out to dinner even if it meant using a hockey stick and some duct tape to prop me up at the table.
Thankfully, verything went surprisingly smooth. Once we were at the restaurant and seated, and I had a pint in hand, the switch flipped. I went from sickly anxious to having fun in about one minute flat. Christine thanked me the next morning for a very enjoyable birthday, that made it all worthwhile.
