Failing Through Adulthood

Organizing my new house has gotten in the way. I have gotten in the way. I want to refocus my life. On Friday, I found myself complaining all day.

In case you were wondering, there are a lot of things that happen behind the scenes of Bathtub Wine Critic. I mean, I have a killer  set-up with bath bombs and candles and a wheelie cart with snacks, books, and my laptop streaming some video of some sort. I even have a pillow in my tub. I am a champion. You can't see the pillow, but you can definitely see the laptop, book, and snacks. "But Katie," you say, "all those bath bombs and candles are scented and are totally going to mess up your palate and skew your judgment!" To that I say, I'm getting drunk in my bathtub. Obviously I am refined enough to compensate. Fish Eye 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Every now and then, I go to the liquor store and buy 3 or 4 random wines to drink. Some I pick by price, some I pick by label, and some I
