Back to Bed on January 1st

Well ,this being the 1st day of a New Year when my horoscope says I should look forward to a productive year, I'll begin by putting down my often mundane thoughts.  I should get a jump on things since there may be forty thousand other Scorpios beginning blogs today too.
 
At the end of everyday I always think I have something important to say.  Staring at a blank page, no matter how pretty the background, is daunting.  I'm thinking my life is not the tortured hell I'd always believed.  Now I'll have to prove that it is;  I will attempt to heed the unsolicited advice from a friend to get over myself . 
 
The circumstances surrounding that advice were as such:  I was apologizing to my "advice giving" friend, for losing my temper with  a third friend during a circuitous conversation which took place the previous evening at a bar.  And not just any bar, but at a Bennigan's Bar located in the suburbs. The topic of the conversation was forgettable, but  I was so incensed that I stormed out of the Bennigan's (a life saving maneuver in some cultures ,I'm sure) and had to call someone for a ride home.  I'm not sure if  I was more upset about the disagreement or to having been at a Bennigan's bar. 
 
The next morning when my rage had dissipated, I called the recipient of my diatribe to offer my apologies  and being an upstanding gal she readily accepted them.  Next, feeling that perhaps I had also ruined  the evening for the third participant, I called to offer my apologies to her. 
 
She told me to get over myself. 
 
I will spend the year chronicling my efforts.  An assured step in the right direction: never, ever go to a Bennigan's bar located in the suburbs.
