Happy Solstice!
Dec. 21st, 2022 09:48 amI'm making MEAD again this year! I haven't the last couple of years, because Life, but I always drink a bottle I made myself for the solstice, and today I will be cracking the last bottle from the before times. (I'm hoping it's still good, but it should be, it's been in the wine "cellar" aka. my husband's wine fridge that is a nice stable temperature, and from 2019 isn't too terribly old.)
But that means I need to make more for next year!
I'm also going to make candles with my goober child, and probably make one to gift my mother in law, she'll like getting something from her grandkid.
And I got a nice wedge of brie and some cured meat, and I'll make myself a little charcuterie board for dinner. :3
NOT doing the all-night vigil, I've been so goddamn exhausted this year that beginning the next year with a heap of sleep debt seems like a bad idea.
But all in all, it's looking like today will be a good little celebration.
Now, if only I didn't have to leave the house to drop off packages and pick up pills... Alas! Will have to be sure to do that before sunset!
