Opening (Closing?) Party

I woke up at the gallery around noon. I felt pain in some of my joints. I went to a supermarket and bought instant noodles, bean sprouts, and canned corn. I ate the instant noodles at the gallery. I had a hangover, so I felt like vomiting. I regretted drinking too much last night. At 6 pm, Christel and her child came in. I explained my artwork to her. She bought a sticker. After that, Henry, whom I met the previous night, also came. Others, including the landlord couple, Julli, Peter, and an Italian couple, came as well. They enjoyed making a Japanese DIY candy kit. We talked about some interesting topics. The discussion became heated. It was a productive time. I closed the gallery at 9 pm. Eri and I cleaned up the food and drinks. We returned home just after 10 pm. I immediately took a shower and dived into bed. It was a super long and hard day. I recognized that bedding is the most fabulous invention for human beings (because I slept on the floor at the gallery last night). I did not drink any alcohol for the first time in over half a year. I fell asleep around 10:30 pm.
