I believe Ernest Hemingway said that. So if a literary great like Hemingway said it, I’m going to give it a try.

I came home from a stressful day at work. Stressful not because of the work I was doing but because of the CORONAVIRUS! NOVID-19! news I was being bombarded with from everywhere all day.

I go between being upset about it to being excited that I might possibly be holed up in my house for 2 weeks.

So I came home, checked on my babies who have been sick, and make a dirty martini for myself and PJ.

We sit on the front porch and sip our drinks while my oldest walks around the green space in front of our house to get some fresh air in his lungs (bronchitis) and my youngest just for exercise.

One drink. It only takes one drink to get me tipsy, and now I’m Tiffy Pettingway.

So how’s this drunk writing going? Well, my thoughts aren’t in order and constantly flowing like they usually are. I’m on the couch watching Jeopardy! while writing and if I wasn’t writing I would’ve just killed this last category because it was about pop culture.

PJ is sitting next to me. I’m especially impressed with his Jeopardy! knowledge tonight. Holy moly, he is mastering Jeopardy! tonight and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t making me a little 😍😍😍 (even while he’s munching on chips and shaking his foot like a bloody maniac.) Knowledge is sexy people!! Don’t ever play dumb!!!

Omg PJ just got Double Jeopardy. Who is this man? I’m convinced he watched an earlier version of this episode. Ok, he just let out the loudest burp and then a hiccup – back to the man I married.

He just shared his thoughts on the Coronavirus and how people are saying that they have to sacrifice, and he thinks it’s not really a sacrifice because they just have to stay home. I correct him and say “No, it’s not a sacrifice for US because we love being home. It IS a sacrifice for normal people because they enjoy going out.”

The final Jeopardy question is about birds. I think the answer is Gull, he thinks it’s Seahawk. If he gets it right I’m going to jump his bones…. and…

He was wrong 😂 it’s Albatross. PJ is cracking up now because the guy in the middle answered with “Booby”.

I think I’m going to make another drink but I’ll save the writing for when I’m sober.
