Random Post on a Sunday Night
First of all, belated birthday wishes to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
duniazade, and I'm sure there was someone else on my flist who celebrated being a year older this past week, but LJ is not accommodating with missed dates at all. Anyway, I hope you had a wonderful day, and I'm very sorry I missed posting on the day. Happy belated birthday to ferporcel as well, even though you're not on my flist. I love your story and hope you'll update soon.
If you have a prompt, I'll write you a drabble. I will start writing due drabbles as soon as I finish my exchange fic. That is kinda taking over my waking hours right now.
Writing and beta'ing and if it's not either it's driving to and from the dojo. Don't even try to imagine the state of the house right now. I was going to remedy that today, but I woke up with a headache, spent half the day asleep in bed and am not up to doing such mundane tasks as cleaning. Snerk.
Dorkboy left early Monday morning for California, and I'd forgotten how stressful life tends to be without him around. I was spoiled for three months while he was working from home. Sleeping alone in bed is no fun to start with, not sleeping well is even less fun, and having to deal with everything mundane that constitutes life entirely on my own is almost painful. I don't mind making shopping lists, I don't mind browsing shops with DB, but I don't enjoy the actual shopping act unless it's choosing a seriously good bottle of red wine, and believe me, that's nearly impossible in the South, no matter how sophisticated a liquor store might look from the outside. So, yeah, this week has been kinda stressy, and of course, the first day I have without stress, a headache decides to invade me.
But at least I managed to get all the necessary shopping done, all that's left is a trip to Penzeys, which I'll do when I visit Borders next sometime this week as they're just around the corner from there. Their dried herbs are of high quality and their vanilla sugar, with real Bourbon vanilla, simply rocks. The holiday cookies project is slowly progressing. I need to bake the stollens this week.
Found a t-shirt yesterday. It's navy blue and says "I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter". I think it was made for me. *looks innocent*

Shiraz is from Australia, I believe. You've inspired me to branch out of my red wine ghetto and try something a bit less average! I'm going to have to write some of this down as I am obviously wine-illiterate!
Don't stop drinking wine! It's too good for the soul. And I'm nowhere near "slim"; I'm just tall!!

If you like red wine, try your way through the French ones. I grew up about five miles from the French border in Germland, and to this day, I find French is the best. Okay, closely followed by Rioja (Spain) and some Italian grapes, but the Italians very much depend on the region.
I just tried the new Beajolais Nouveaux, which, strangely enough, you find in any wine-selling shack here! I'll have to try it a couple more times before a final verdict, but my first impression was, "Not bad at all." :-)
