The game started at 9 AM here. I've had 6 hours to process the end result. I am still raw. I think I might need another headache relief pill. I just need to cry and I'll be fine. I didn't openly weep in front of Marchand, yet. So I have that to look forward to. I watched WWE's "Blacklash" pay-per-view after the game. I thought, "I wonder if Jimmy Hayes is in the audience?" I watched Backlash with my three headed Mr. S items still facing the TV. Thank you to those who decided that Seth Rollins and Jeff Hardy should win their respectful bouts. Though it only dawned on me, half an hour ago, that it was Jeff Hardy that I saw win and not Broken Matt Hardy. See, I'm still in a haze. I also forgot my phone password and ATM code. Completely sober, just trying to come back to earth.
@brian5or6 (6 PM 5/6/2018) When I looked at the moon this evening, I whispered “Zdeno Chara”. I turned to go back in until I saw the moon drop one single tear #NHLBruins
Do you know how bad I am? I'm watching exit locker room interviews. I have to do this now. I can't wait a week from now it will be worse then. Deal with this now so that I can move on. Fandom teaches you so much about love. I have a big heart especially for you, Dobs.
Khudobin please re-sign. They are going to win the cup next year and that makes me happy. Glass half-full. Thank you boyzzzzz, Thank you so much. Go Bruins!
INFINITE POTENTIAL. Always.

Sobriety is a never ending process*
After the game I was texting my friend and I thought to myself, "I think I want a virgin lava flow". Which I don't want at all (sober: 15 years, 1 month and a day) and the darn thing doesn't even have alcohol in it. But neurotic me doesn't trust the bartenders enough to clean their equipment correctly/waitstaff to not remember to get me a virgin item. Then I guess I have to make one myself. I just looked up a recipe for the drink. Yeah, it doesn't look so appetizing anymore. I live near a fruit boba tea place and I think I'll just go there tomorrow.
I went on Fanatics.com after the game and bought hockey cards, a Bruins shirt that may not arrive in time for my Mother's Day afternoon tea date and Bruins drink umbrellas. Which I hope doesn't make me a bad sober person. I have no idea what I'm going to use these umbrellas for. Stupid emotional roller coaster of emotions buying impulsive items. Insert swearing. Bleeping, eh I have to attend a meeting.
*As it damn well should be and it's a beautiful process with beautiful results.
