In 2005 (I'm pretty sure that was the year) we were in Florida and went down to the hotel bar for "a drink". I stupidly thought I would order a double shot of Jameson Irish Whiskey and Josh did the same. We then ordered another...and another...and oh my...another.
I've never been able to drink like that without either being incredibly sick that night or horrifyingly hung over the next day. That night my body decided to go with option 2.
Did I mention this was a business trip?
We both went back to our hotel rooms and I remember thinking how incredibly moronic that was. That was 8 shots of whiskey in a very short period of time, on an empty stomach. I fell asleep a short time later.
In the morning I remember being so sick I could hardly move. Josh brought me a coffee and a bagel but I couldn't look at them. We drove to the office we were visiting and while we were walking across the parking lot I lost everything I had eaten or drunk from the night before. Josh held my hair!!! Isn't that nice? haha I'm in the bushes in the middle of a parking lot on the first day to meet remote co-workers and he's holding my hair.
I composed myself and when we were inside he told everyone that I had eaten something bad the night before. Thank you Josh for saving me from having to say what we really did.
That evening it was sad because we went to a really nice restaurant and I was able to nibble on a little bit of Josh's and Joel's meals (oh ya, there were three of us on this trip ha) but there was no way I could eat a full meal. I remember Josh got Orange Duck. We were at a French restaurant. I wish I could remember the name. It was quite tasty.
Josh took care of me the entire day; he brought me water and medicine. This experience made it so I will NEVER do that again on a business trip. I think I was just being really stupid. ;O) But it was a fun evening.
Josh always took care of me though. When I was sick, he would stay home from work to take care of me. If I needed something he was right there to make sure it was done. When my mother passed away in 2006 and then my grandparents in 2014, he was there to take care of the little things and be my strength when I needed it.
