We also get Yellow Tail Shiraz a lot, though, and it's really affordable.
I was drinking that last night, and the bottle was eight bucks, I think.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

I was hoping to run scads of errands today -- but my right foot is so sore I don't even want to stand to cook. Sigh.

What is even happening?

It's pretty good, isn't it? And for the price, it's excellent.
Oh, sumi, I hope you feel better.

Yeah, I like the Yellow Tail. Although I haven't been disappointed with any of the $8 bottles of shiraz I've bought, really.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's a good point, Jesse. I find Shiraz to be a much more reliable pick in that price range, whereas Merlots can be all over the map, from very good to borderline undrinkable.

I've made breakfast and while I think I'll only be getting some of those errands done (I may have to do some today and some tomorrow) - I do feel better. Now, I need to wash out a mug (I can't believe that ALL of my mugs are dirty) so I can have some tea.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It is the 50th birthday for The Cat in the Hat. [link]
In “The Annotated Cat: Under the Hats of Seuss and His Cats,” Philip Nel gives us a better grip on just why Dr. Seuss has so thoroughly captured the imaginations of several generations of readers—and the imaginations of their parents
Huh - it took Seuss a year and a half to write it.
But this is cool:
To honor “The Cat in the Hat’s” 50th birthday, send him an e-mail birthday card. For every card the cat gets, Random House will donate a new book to First Book, a nonprofit organization that promotes reading in low-income communities. Since it was founded in 1992, First Book has distributed more than 40 million books to young readers in 1,300 communities around the country. To send a card, go to www.seussville.com/CITH_50th/. Cards must be received by May 1.
Random House will also donate a new book to First Book for every copy of any Dr. Seuss book it sells before May 1. For more details, go to www.catinthehat.com.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
NBA all star weekend in Vegas
Last time I went to an All Star weekend, I ended up cavorting with a member of *NSYNC. I have sworn off such shenanigans, so am content to stay home.
Knocked myself properly loopy with meds, and slept quite a while. Migraine's only mild this morning.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Good lawd. I wasn't here 5 minutes and I started getting bitched at about lunch. @@
It's FREE LUNCH people. I know there is no such thing, but shut it.
