~~I played tennis last night~~. I drank margaritas last night. It was National Margarita Day, which I found out at exactly the same moment I was told the tennis courts didn’t have nets. It seemed like a sign from God. I drank two margs, ate some nachos, rolled home fairly early – before 10 p.m., I think – but then spent a good deal of time snuggled up on the couch with Miller, staring at the ceiling, being very comfy and content.
