kidlet the bartender . . .

i have a suspicion why january is a tough month for me.  it's the prelude to february.  the 25th to be exact.  so for the past three years, i've made it through the holidays and then sunk.  tomorrow i have a mental health tune-up scheduled. sometimes you just need a little help.

but tonight, well, tonight i asked kidlet to play bartender and make me a rum and coke.  i should have known better.  she is a tad heavy handed.  heck she pours all the bar profits into one glass.  i looked at the clear liquid and ice in one glass and the can of pepsi in the other and wondered where the pepsi was supposed to go.  yes, it was that full.  so i asked for a larger container.  i should have asked for the iced tea pitcher.  three hours later, i am still sipping and the glass is still half full.
