I left work a little early myself, although I was almost the last one in the office when I bailed. Have redonned muumuu #1 which I only wore for about half an hour yesterday and felt deserved more wearing time and am enjoying a glass of wine and the October Asimov's on the patio. I even took my Fitbit off, that's how dedicated I am to kicking back for a while.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

I forgot my closet light deglobed when I was rushing around for neighbor night weds. I just found the globe in front of the bathroom. I guess one of the cats got really bored? (And frankly, pretty impressive. Not cat toylike at all.)

So, I'm using my good crystal, because I can, and I always thought these wine glasses were huge, but when I put one on the scale and measure how much I pour in by weight, because that's how I roll, 5 ounces looks very reasonable in it. Huh.

I took a stemless telescope-event-monogrammed wineglass to the neighborhood wine night this week. Three less-than-half-glasses later,I'd demolished 1.5 L of vihno verde. I had no idea. And I was only mildly tipsy.

At least it was a vinho verde and not a fruit-bomb zinfandel. You'd be staggering.
I'm not in the mood for beer, so I opened a cheap bottle of rose and I'm drinking it with an ice-cube in it (oh the horrors). Next up: GBBO -- pastry week!
Dunno if y'all heard, but the cast moving on with the show is down to Paul Hollywood: Mary Berry just announced she's staying with the BBC.

Own that ice cube!
I wrote a poem that included the line "we order our sushi with wine on the rocks" when I was in high school, and I remain proprietarily fond of the concept.
I'm drinking a cab, btw. It's kind of meh - not bad, but not terrific.

Base was deceptively wide. And I have a pretty high tolerance (which is weird in its own way. VV is lower alcohol, but even twice that, I mighta graduated to tipsy. Maybe.)

All right, I just finished a learning module in my Professional Certification course, so this means I can make a gin and tonic and watch TV.
