I was carded for purchase of both cough syrup and cooking wine today. As if anyone enjoys the taste of tangy cough syrup or salty cooking wine enough to get drunk and/or high off of it. But my sincerest of thanks to the young man ringing up my groceries who was not yet old enough to purchase either item, but who carded me on my purchase of these items anyhow. As I checked out my total came to $7.77. I considered buying a lottery ticket on my way out.
Then I made another gargantuan batch of healthy, hearty and tasty homemade applesauce because we’re addicted to the stuff, and a pan of gooey, delicious, sugary and tart lemon bars – for good measure. I devoured three before hauling the rest off to hungry lighting students on their second of three straight midnight work calls at CCM. They definitely need them more than I do.
Also, my basil plant is thriving. I’m super proud. I remember when I planted the little guy back in April. He took forever to finally peek through and he was so tiny! But look at him now…so tall and handsome! He’s the only one of my herbs to have made it through the fall. What a champ!
P.S. I only have to make it through two more days of work and then I’m off for three whole glorious, luxurious days. I haven’t had a full day off since October 31. Stoked!!
