I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Today I watched our mailman walk around the neighborhood with his mask down around his chin chewing on a toothpick, and at each house he put the toothpick away and pulled the mask over his mouth and nose. With his gloves. That he also used to pick up the mail. Sigh.
One of the reason the Chief Medical Officer over here still hasn't even recommended, let alone mandated, the wearing of masks is that he says they can make things worse if used incorrectly. Now I think I can visualise what "used incorrectly" might look like.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I am feeling like an excellent neighbor because I just delivered margaritas to my neighbors.
Man, I need neighbors like that.
I am sitting here with my headset on until 9 pm, waiting for any of my students to webex in for online office hours, and feeling a bit like the Maytag repairman. Had exactly zero out of 100 check in from my uni course this afternoon. I did have two from the community college (out of 17) earlier this evening, so it hasn't been a complete waste.

Dude, Jesse, you are the BEST neighbor.
that said, I'm not short on alcohol, but I would love a fancy cocktail made with 7 ingredients. I can half-ass a manhattan or an old-fashioned or a margarita, but I would love to get a Carter Beats the Devil or one of the designer cocktails they make at some of my favorite places. I was looking at some of the restaurant websites, but most of the to-go cocktails are in units of 2 or 4, which is more than I really need...

That's what I've been saying! I know I could make infused syrups and shrubs and whatever bullshit, and between my mother and me we have a bunch of kinds of liquor, but I want SOMEONE ELSE to do it!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Feeling hard all ya'll dealing with bullshit. Right now my bullshit feels very internal -- I've been having way more lows than usual, which is understandable, but still very frustrating. My shit is negatively together. It is frustrating.
Fancy cocktails do sound nice.

I did acquire flour, however -- one of my favorite bakeries is open for call in and counter service, and they had flour directly from their mill bagged for purchase. I have no idea what I will use it for any time soon, but I do feel kind of shiny for having it.

The yeast I ordered ages ago, and the bread mixes I ordered because I couldn't get yeast, all came in on the same day. Of course, and I have also lost the early urges I had to bake. I just want to go to a bakery and have everything made for me thank you very much.
