The Day After.

I woke up still struggling to comprehend that this is real, although it definitely feels real enough when I see how the GOP is salivating at the opportunity act as duplicitous(ly?) as usual. It makes me sick. I needed to do something, anything, that felt like a real action. I’ve wanted to volunteer on Election Day for a long time, so I decided this is the year to do it. I will mask up and drink a gallon of hand sanitizer and do whatever it takes to help people vote.

The second picture is from a distanced get-together with our friend this afternoon. We already had it on the calendar and decided that maybe the solidarity and commiseration would help a little bit. The pitcher of mango margarita that comes with a straw also helped a little bit.

Things I love, vol. 29

Lord Henry of the Manor

  • Fat-bellied robins hopping all over the lawn after I mow it, looking for wormy snacks
  • Opening the windows at night to let the breeze into our house
  • Stay-at-home happy hours with B to celebrate the end of the work day (so far we’ve had margaritas, palomas, old fashioneds, and boulevardiers)
  • Enjoying every position Henry contorts into in his new floofy bed
  • Watching Westworld!

Today’s aperitivo: the Lil’ Ripper. The name is kinda meh, but the drink is fantastic. We’re trying out Amaro, a lovely low-alcohol spirit from Italy. This drink ends up tasting like a citrusy, slightly boozy Coke – and I love it. I take mine sans olive, but B raves about eating the olive as soon as the beverage is gone.

My favorite new breakfast “cocktail”: the Mexicano! This normally done with espresso and Mexican Coke (and is also referred to as an Americola), but I made mine today with Mexican Coke and cold brew. I would like approximately five gallons per day, thanks. 

I just looked it up and saw that someone online called this a Cali-Cola, but I refuse.
