Friday evening in

The week of me and Olive and just me and Olive continues. 

Almost at the halfway point.  I am utterly sure that she is dearly wishing that she was with her daddy and Plan C instead.  Rest assured, she is being fed and watered and walked, though!  I am not a monster!

I had a weirdly busy day for working from home.  Fridays don't usually have quite so much I need to tend to.  I'm glad for things to do, though.  At the end of the afternoon, though, I put on music (listening to the new Laura Veirs) and made a very very very basic dinner (things foraged from the fridge dipped in blue cheese dressing), and made a cocktail.  I shudder to call this a martini (just because it's in a martini glass doesn't make it a martini)(and I served this in a large Nick and Nora instead) when it's really a vodka sour, but it was tasty enough:  the Italicus Martini. 

I'd make this again, happily.  Simple, goes down easily.

I munched on dinner and sipped the cocktail then poured a glass of wine and started to work on notecards and such to friends.  One of my favourite things to do:  send something in the mail to people I care about, even if it's just a hello.  Who doesn't enjoy something in the mail other than a bill or a flyer?

Friday will wind down here.  Lunch plans tomorrow, and that's it for Saturday.  We are almost half way through August, folks!
