I woke up at 6 today since I went to bed super early last night and that dratted time change happened. I’ve been puttering around, getting things done in the apartment before I head out to the mall to run some errands. Sadly, the mall doesn’t open until 11. Yeah. It’s like half my day will be over by that point.
Anyways, I went through my teas again last night and (gasp) threw some out that were old and icky. Set some aside to send to my brother. Put a couple out to taste again before I get rid of them.
This is one I had totally forgot I had. And it’s so good. I made it and sipped on it while I set up a chicken and wild rice soup in my slow cooker. I think I have 1 or 2 cups left, and I should really go ahead and drink them. The other teas are straight blacks, so they’ll be fine for a while if I throw them into a tin to protect them a little more from the air.
I used this recipe, but with more of everything since my slow cooker is ginormous. http://pinchofyum.com/crockpot-chicken-wild-rice-soup I’ll also use tapioca or sweet rice flour to make the thickener. And I’ll get some almond or cashew milk today to make it creamy.

You early riser, you!
Going to bed at something like 8pm really does wonders for getting up early. Haha.
I wish I could do that! I have to get up at 6-6:30 tomorrow and dread it. Ugh.
Hahaha. I have to be at work by 7:30 tomorrow morning, which is going to be soooo painful. But there’s an online meeting and if I do the meeting at home I don’t get in until 10 or later.
That’s brutal. :/
Well, kinda yeah. But if I get a Real Job instead of a Make Your Own Hours Job, I’ll need to be at work around 8am every day anyways. So I’m going to try my best to do that every day!
That’s a good habit to get into now, for sure. I need to do that since I’d also need to be at work for 8am if I get this job. Did they let you know when they were going to get back to you?
Yes. About 2 weeks as the interviewer was going on vacation. So we’ll see. :)
That’s nice that they gave you a time frame. I hope you get it! But it’s kind of funny how long the hiring process takes, eh?
Government jobs are THE WORST. I’ve applied for 2 now and the wait is 3-4 months minimum. UGH.
Ugh, good to know. I applied to this one in mid-September, along with some Alberta government positions, which I haven’t heard from (and assumed by now, would be a no go), but I guess you never know when you’re going to get a call.
I’ve applied for Federal stuff, and it takes FOREVER. I’d imagine Provincial gov’ts would be similar.
Makes me wonder what the turnover rates are for these types of jobs. Granted, when it takes that long, I doubt anyone who is lucky enough to land one would walk away that soon. But still. Nuts.
