Happy January 1st! What has already gone wrong today, and what has gone right?

It’s been a whopping 13 hours of 2025 so far, and I’m just getting up. Mind you, I woke up and took my meds on time, but then afterwards I went back to sleep. I reset my alarm for a couple hours later but obviously the thing that went wrong is that it didn’t work. It’s now about 1:00pm as I write this up. Oops.

Even though I didn’t wake up quite when I wanted to, something good did happen! Late last night I had sent a message to a fancy restaurant I had been to in Savannah. They had a mezcal cocktail on their menu that I really enjoyed, and I wanted to try making it for myself. So, I contacted them to see if they would share the ingredients and preparation method. To my surprise, they did! To be honest, I don’t drink very often. Alcohol isn’t something I typically care to have, in part because I don’t like the way it can make me feel (like getting a wine headache after a small glass). Mezcal, in particular, is also kind of expensive relative to other kinds that would get used in cocktails, and anywhere here that carries it doesn’t carry a wide selection.

Anyways, time to get about my day because my vacation is almost over. Back to work tomorrow!

Happy New Year!
