Oy — I’m having a heck of a time keeping caught up on Steepster and making notes on my logs right now. First family, now I’m trying to be “healthy,” and now there’s some bonus work stress :P
All of this has culminated in what I think is my tastebuds staging a revolt. I had my Black Dragon this morning and it was meh — meh I tell you! And now this is meh as well! I know that two of my all-time favorites cannot be suddenly blech. I am the only common factor. Therefore, it must be me and not my tea (at least I hope it’s just me and that it’s a temporary change). :(

I’m sorry to hear that!
You know…to be honest, I think there isn’t any tea on earth, no matter how delicious, that I want to have all the time. The surest way for me to ruin a favorite thing is spend too much time with it, be it music or a movie or a type of tea (video games and certain authors seem to be almost exempt from this).
Usually when that begins to happen, I just know I need to mix it up and surprise myself with something radically different, and when I come back to things they are still full of the awesome they always were.
:(
Nooooooo! Not meh tea! Ok, ok, ok, here’s the plan: we’re going to need some tea you don’t particularly like, some cat hair, glue, a towel and a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle.
1. Combine the cat hair and glue in order to make a fake mustache
2. Try to bring your tastebuds into line by inflicting not very good tea on them (perhaps they have gotten complacent!)
3. ?
4. Profit!
(why do you need a towel and a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle, you ask? WHY WOULDN’T YOU?)
PS: Sending calming thoughts in your direction!
I think taste is tied into emotions in a huge way. Big hugs to get through this time of stress and change.
Thank y’all so much! I guess I’ve known that stress can affect taste, but wowsa — I didn’t realize how much it could.
And Ewa: I laughed until the tears came and my cat fled in terror. Thank you!
Being healthy is worth it though, and in the long run should help with the stress. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. Hugs.
