Getting a vein at that point would have been impossible, I bet. Ugh.
Oh, and not gin, but I found a recipe for Dark and Stormy popsicles that I have to try once I find a popsicle mold.

Nice. Right now I have just poured a celebratory cucumber vodka and soda, which is lovely when it's 127 degrees out like now.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'm going to do the eggs with capers and lemon
Can you shove a dozen of these through the intertubes for me? NOM.
Also, I absolutely second the utter deliciousness of pomegranate gimlets, especially when it's made with simple syrup and freshly squeezed lemon juice. But they're very tasty indeed, even using Rose's.
I go to the ortho to hopefully get my half cast off tomorrow. Man, this thing is so grotty looking -- I've re-wrapped it several time, because the 12 MILES of Ace bandages would get all wonky, or the cast would slip up and rub around, and the damn thing looks like a splint jerry-rigged from dirty cotton balls and an old pair of beige panties, which was then subsequently used to prevent zombies from gnawing off my face.
I also have NO wrapping skills, so the damned forearm wrap/cast/arm thing is like, two feet thick. I look like Hellboy's little sister.

I haven't spent a summer in the city for 10 years. It's taking some adjusting to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My a/c is a little too small for my apartment so it takes foreve to cool down when it's hot inside. So for weather like this I just leave it on while I'm at work.
Being 1 1/2 blocks from the lake does help sometimes.

It's -23 here. (Really 12C.) Thank you large fog bank parked off the coast.

I don't have a/c. Until a week ago I didn't even have ceiling fans. I loooove my ceiling fans. I need to find time to move everything out of the bedroom so I can have one in there, too (and refinished floors and fresh paint). And yes, being close to the lake is a wonderful thing.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm having a Tom Collins. It's a lovely thing on a hot, hot day when the inside of one's house smells like paint.
