Yeah, pretty much not driving when you know you can't is the kind of care taking that... is.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
you are taking care of her -- by not driving and keeping watch.
Care -taking is rarely the fun part.
Next time her turn. That is the way it works.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Also we know other buffistae and friends in the Los Angeles area who might not be posting right now but can be summoned with cell phones. Just say the word and the cavalry is on the way.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What kind of caretaker am I????
An excellent one. You're worrying about what you can do to watch out for her, but without taking stupid risks to do it. Bonus points.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
The common joke about my mom's driving skills in the family is that she's not driving because she's a nurse, therefor supposed to keep the public safe and sound.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Having the wisdom to know you are too drunk to drive is much better care-taking than what could happen if you didn't have it.
And by all that is holy, including your marriage, this is the way we prefer it - that you are sitting tight, talking through it, not driving home. Because it could have such an ugly ending, otherwise.

I get nervous if DH is out and I am drinking wine at home -- What if he needs me... but then he is an adult and so am I. And who knew you were both going to drink to much? it wasn't a plan. Just wait -- stay in the car. Hope DW wakes soon so you can call a cab.

I'm trying to remember more drunk & stupid stories but so many of them have faded... like this one will for you
