Acclimating

I went to New City tonight. I really didn’t want to. I still feel tired. But I have this $50 tab that I feel I should use. So off I went. I bought drinks for all the people I know, but I stayed with the non-alcoholic beverages. My vacation taught me that alcohol has no benefits, so I see no reason to change my standard pattern.
The night was also disappointing in another respect. In Jamaica, everyone dressed up beautifully. Now New City isn’t my vacation, and the people really don’t dress up. It takes a bit of acclimating to lower my expectations.
