maribou1) Decide the dishes would be more fun if you had a really big supersized mug of gin with some ice and sour mix.
2) Do the dishes while sipping.
3) Soak your saxophone reed in a cup of water while gulping down the rest of the gin and listening to The Jane Austen Book Club on audio (the narrator is WAY less annoying this way).
4) Play saxophone for a really long time. This is a lot more fun while drunk because a) you don't screw up the fingerings almost ever, even when sight-reading crazily complicated pieces, and when you do, you don't really care anyway and b) all anxieties about lack of tone quality compared to your previous peak 10 years ago completely get out of the way. Whee.
5) When you just cannot possibly make any saxophone noises any more, get out the tin whistle. Hee hee hee. It doesn't matter if you're any good at the tin whistle as long as you have fun and know the fingerings without thinking about them. That is good enough. Especially for Si Bheag, Si Mor which you tend to forget is one of your favorite songs.
6) Put away your saxophone. Tip over the glass of water, but that's okay because it's just water and you have a blanket right there to sop it up with anyway.
7) Come down to the basement and allow your husband to be charmed by your adorably drunken self (see, all the wind instrument playing heightened the drunk thing, due to all the oxygen you used up or something). Acknowledge that he's probably right about it being clever to try this whole getting plastered thing when he doesn't have to work the next morning, next time, all things considered. Give him nice kisses. Send him to bed.
8) Make livejournal post while listening to Slainte Mhath's version of Si Bheag, Si Mor.
9) Whatever else happens before falling soundly asleep.
Yay.
