In Washington

In Washington

I landed at my aunt's house, which started a party atmosphere, but one, which I did not know the extent of until latter in the evening. I was trying to maintain a sober life and was been told that my cousin was doing the same. After all the socializing and fun, we all had talking to one another it was time to close it all down. My aunt and uncle went to bed and then my cousin came out of his room with a bottle of good whiskey and wondered if I wanted a drink. Not expecting this I just went with the flow and said of course, I wanted a drink. My cousin and I had a lot of history, enjoying a good party anytime it presented itself. We had lived together in San Francisco for a number of years and having a good party time as a matter of course. I had a drink with him and we proceeded to get loaded again, like so many times before. This was a good time and enjoyed by I for sure. The next day we had to take my aunt and uncle to the airport so they could start their travels. I had agreed to take care of my aunt's place while they were away. For some reason she thought I was responsible and would take good care of her home while they were away. She had no reason to doubt my commitment to watch over her home. I was not in great shape or responsible as she hoped, but I could not tell her that. Things went OK for a while and everything was going good, then everything got out of control. My cousin and I continued to drink like fishes out of water, enjoying ourselves immensely.
