I hear you, Grace. Would NOT want to swap homes, even with a family member. My own bed, please... and then there's all the cleaning and tidying and bed-changing etc if someone were to stay in mine.
NOPE.
Drinking alcohol certainly can create all kinds of unnecessary misery to life in so many ways.
I think about never having wine again - or a lovely straight shot or two of a well-aged single malt - but don't think I like that idea. I do enjoy a little wine now and then and can't imagine I'll ever stop completely.
It's sure not worth all that upheaval, though, just to have a couple of drinks. That's why there are taxis and Uber!!!
And yeah - having anyone - or anything - dictate to me?? Nope. Not happening!
Thanks for sharing, Grace ๐๐๐
