I do drink the occasional manhattan, but I can't make one with dry vermouth.
Waaaaaaay behind, but dry manhattans are very nice, for people who like that sort of thing.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm up and just finished breakfast. Because I'm supposed to run with a group at 8am. Which didn't seem sooooo early when I signed up for it. But that means I have to leave my house by at least 7:45. And I have to have eaten long enough before to be fueled but not get sick to my stomach while I run. Thus the 630am alarm. On a Saturday. Voluntarily. For the next ten weeks. Wtf self?!?!

I don't like dry Manhattans, but Juliana turned me on to perfect Manhattans, which are ½ dry and ½ sweet vermouth, and are awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What are y'all doing this weekend? I'm headed to do volunteer training and I have a massage tomorrow.
I have a massage today! Also dad and some errands. Tomorrow just dad and possible house cleaning?

Today, drawing, maybe some housework. Tomorrow I'm staying with my dad while Mom goes out of state for a birthday party.

I have a blissfully unscheduled weekend. It's my first in a while, so I'm reveling in it. I do have plans to catch up on Agents of Shield with some friends, but that's less a scheduled thing and more a hang out at some point Sunday thing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Running errands, doing taxes. There's a reggae band playing at the bar around the corner tonight that I think we're going to go see, entirely because the band is playing in the basement bar, and I've never seen the basement of this bar and now I'm curious.

Our wings are not tired.
My sister arrives this afternoon for a couple week visit! She will probably only be with me a day because she will head over to stay with Mom. But always happy to see her.

Punishingly Intricate
We were supposed to have a yard sale today but, since it's winter again, we've postponed until June. So, got to sleep in and go to market and petstore and now am at the mall. Wish I had a massage scheduled!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's raining, so I'm not practicing Tai Chi in the park. My plan for the day is a whirlwind of indoor tidying and organizing, but I have not found the motivation to actually start, yet. Tomorrow is a local multi-winery event that I am quite looking forward to, rain or not.
