So, I haven’t been feeling well these past few weeks. I’ve never been this exhausted in my entire life; I can barely function during the day. My appetite has been non-existent, and my body is weak and achy. My doctor tells me that there is nothing really physiologically wrong with me.

He said that it must be stress.

And that makes sense. I’m getting married in a month (OMG) and just moved into a new home. This is a very, very busy and stressful time in my life.

But this post isn’t about how crappy I’ve been feeling. I’m just telling you, hive, so that you’ll understand, after you read a few more paragraphs, why I am the LAMEST PERSON ON THE PLANET.

But we’ll get to that in a minute.

After my wedding shower, I went home, crashed on the couch for a few hours, and then got ready for my bachelorette party. Like the shower, I didn’t really know the details of the party. The girls knew that I wanted something low-key, and that I’d be happy as a clam with just a chill dinner followed by cocktails.

I had no idea where we were going until Bridesmaid K picked me up and informed me that we were headed to Zama, which is supposedly one of the best sushi places in Philly.

SUSHI!!!! My absolute favorite!

The party was small but perfect: me and six of my closest friends.

And of course, a ton of sushi. Droooooooool.

Unfortunately, after stuffing my face full of delicious nomz and two Lychee Fizzes (lychee liqueur with sparkling wine, highly recommended), I was exhausted.

“Zzzzzzzz”

And when Bridesmaid K presented me with a choice of several nearby bars at which to continue my bachelorette party, I had to decline. I’d had such a good time, but I’d had a long day and could barely stand up anymore, due to how crappy I’d been feeling.

The girls still wanted to go out, but I didn’t. And so I left my own bachelorette party early. LAME!

The girls understood. I was ready to jump into a cab, but they decided to continue at a bar in my neighborhood so that they could give me a ride home.

I really did have a fabulous time. The food was amazing and it had been way too long since I’d just kicked back and relaxed with this whole group of girls. It was a lot of fun.

But I think that part of me will always regret leaving my bachelorette party early. Although I felt like total crap and really wouldn’t have had fun if I’d forced myself to stay out, I really wish that I’d felt well enough to continue to party on. After all, this is the only bachelorette party I’ll ever have.

Oh, well. I still loved my bachelorette dinner and love my friends for planning it!

Has anyone else out there had a low-key bachelorette party?
