cornerofmadnessI'm not sure I've ever mentioned it but I love cocktails and I find cocktail history interesting. The botanticals are very interesting in how they mix. So today was my friend's retirement party at zoe's. I am very sad to see her go, though she'll be in town so it's not goodbye.
However, Zoe's had a corpse reviver #2 but changed the name to necromancer, slightly different twist on it. Absinthe, Lillet blanc, gin (petal gin in this case) and lemon juice. It was delicious. So much so I had a second one (because a 20$ bar bill is what this night needed).
No, it really did need that. It's been a miserably depressing day. The stuff at work is leaving me emotionally exhausted. Not to mention the end of the semester is usually exhausting to begin with. I'm in a foul mood (did I mention I snapped at my students for being entitled little assholes last week).
On top of that exhaustion is the fact that my sugar is out of control again and when it's high I ama bitch. THat's sort of your warning and my apology. I don't mean to be but that's what high sugar does to you.
I didn't get nearly as much writing done as I wanted to but on the other hand, I did have a nice night out. I was worried about going downtown on Ohio University's campus (not our school but fine dining where I'm at is Bob Evans) b ecause it's a nightmare especially on 420. But thanks to Easter the campus was deserted.
Even the coffee shop I usually go to was closing early but I did get my lavender latte. Yum.
But now I want another corpse reviver #2. Too bad both absinthe and lillet blanc are expensive and hard to find.
