I am totally screwed for my taxes. My receipts are all hither and yon.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

So, I just went to the deli for two-thirds of the trashiest Saturday night run -- cigarettes and a scratch card, but no beer. But the good news is, I won $5!

Now you can buy beer!

Good god, Kathy, that's appalling. Being a doctor does not give license to be an asshole to random people who are not your patients.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. I don't want beer, is the thing.

But... it's beer!

I'm not much of a beer person, really. Although it's awfully convenient -- I have part of a bottle of wine sitting here I'm about to throw out.

Oh, unless You People think it would be OK to cook with -- it's been open on the counter for like a week, so is no longer good to drink.

I'm of the "if you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it" school.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been told that you can cook with wine for maybe a day or so after you'd drink it, but a week seems like too much. (I've heard about people freezing leftover wine in ice cube trays and then using those to cook with, but I've never tried it.)

Ah well.

So I was on the phone with my brother when a kid arrived for a sleepover with D. He got off the phone and called me back under a minute later. In that minute, there'd already been a pillowfight, someone had doffed their pants and D and friend (5 y.o.) and T (11 months) were all in D's bedroom, tearing it apart. I could hear the friend making nice with T, and within 5 more minutes, a fort ("No! A SPACE SHUTTLE!!") was being constructed of the recently deconstructed couch in the livingroom and T had had his first crawling-can't-keep-up-with-running meltdown.

And my SIL is off having a girls night out. I've been a nanny. I know this is how it goes. But I was exhausted just listening to it!
