Wine, Meatloaf, and Weeds

elfsWell, this afternoon I arrived home early enough to make a meatloaf, toss it into the oven, then go outside and do a solid hour of weeding. And believe me, it needed it. I must have hauled a full forty gallon bag of weeds out of there, and it all still looks crappy, but it's less crappy than it was before. Afterwards, I felt like I needed a shower because I was covered in pollen.
The meatloaf was straightforward, although I put in an egg and some softened breadcrumbs. Given how hot it's suddenly become and just how little I was in the mood for something heavy like beer, I decided to try an experiment and mixed three parts Late Harvest Rheisling with five parts ginger ale, over ice, to fake up a wine cooler. Actually, it was very good! Even Omaha liked it.
And I wrote three thousand words today. They weren't on the story I was planning on writing, but they were three thousand words that I don't feel guilty about not having written.
