Was a nice day. How’s your weather?

Enjoy the weekend.

Lovin’ it!

..to be called The Incessant Nagging Drizzle State. Is that right?

We might complain about it, but we love it. You can tell by way we rarely use umbrellas.

Guaranteed.

I’m a prognosticating genius.

Staying calm. The White House, Joe & Kamala are eerily quiet. Makes me think there's a lot being done behind the scenes to safeguard what they can. Am I being naive?

Joe and Kamala are smart and hard-working. They’re shoring up everything they can that would be difficult for Trump to undo. They’re shepherding judicial approvals through Congress with the help of anti-Trump Republicans. They’re doing everything within their power to minimize the shitstorm that’s on the horizon.

They have our backs. We need to return their service by keeping our eyes fixed on 2026.

I made a caramel apple martini for my cocktail tonight--apple cider, vodka, and butterscotch schnapps.

Has a woman ever said: “Hold my beer and watch this!”?

On my 3rd and last. A truly shitty week is behind me.

And here’s to a relaxing weekend!

but it helps me get a good night's sleep at night.

I get well more than eight hours sleep, but largely during "working" hours.

Turns out, Skippa loves the taste of a gin martini, Hates beer and wine, but loves a well made martini. I will need to secure the gin and vermouth going forward,

I always order my Martinis without.

A martooni with cocktail onions. Yum.

on edit: mixed my drinks up....not sure why.

Do you plan cocktails to go with?

She’s eighty-three. Don’t know how many more holidays we’re going to have with her. So we’re making the most of it.

No cocktails for me, though. Probably a nice medium-dry Riesling to go with the turkey.

having to deal with a surfeit of morans (sp intentional) these last two days.

I have a lovely bottle of pumpkin spice creme liqueur intended for my coffee. Shoud I do the gracious thing, and wait to share with my friends on t-day, or start with my coffee tomorrow?

I hope you feel better soon.

It’s okay to treat yourself. Go for it, unless you already promised your friends you would wait.

sensitive, so anything above my normal (fairly quiet) voice is a real strain. And they have been severely strained these last two days!

I think I wil treat myself. There is always the adult eggnog to share!
