A tea to love on this Valentines Day!
I’ve never been someone much interested in Valentines, but I’m very happy to express my love to tea!

Sipdown!
A sip down is always a satisfying thing, even when it’s a favorite tea.
See you again in the autumn, Boston!

I am in zero-in mode. I have been drinking this every morning for the last week.
The reasons for this are twofold- on the one hand I love this, I find it rich and delicious. On the other, I feel very strongly that this tea is best in the autmn and winter, and I want to sip it down before things get warmer.
For me, this is tea is very easy to drink every morning. Nom!

Why is life so busy? Why am I so tired? Well, maybe those have something to do with each other.
I’m in one of my phases where I am feeling like working towards a sip down, so I’ve been drinking a lot of this. I adore this tea, but it’s a tea best suited to autumn, in my mind, and I know I’ll want some fresh when the autumn comes around again.
It’s still cold enough for me to enjoy it, though, so that makes me happy.

Morning plans- sit with a beautiful tea cup of this, sipping elegantly, and being as relaxed and happy as possible.
It’s my birthday. My celebrations will be small, but they will be happy.

After last weekend, which was Not Fun™, I have dedicated this weekend to relaxation and indulgences in pleasures, small and otherwise. I intend to make food that delights me, to give myself permission to work on my hobbies as much as I’d like, and to watch and listen to exactly what I please.
I have, for this occasion, brewed an entire pot of this, and pulled down one of my beautiful teacup with saucer. I intend to sip daintily, nibble on some bread, and do some knitting.
Ah, bliss.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and love and concern.
It was a long weekend of no fun, but there is very good news. My mother is home, and doing much much better. She had a small procedure in the hospital, and we got way more information about what is going on with her heart. It’s treatable with medication, and things are looking generally up.
She’s annoyed, as she needs to lay low for a few days after the procedure, but she’s home.
It was a rough stay, emotionally, as she was in the same hospital (even the same wing) that my father died in six months ago, so none of us were at our emotional best.
But she’s home. Thats what I really am focused on.

My mom had another cardiac event this weekend, and is going to have some surgery today to see just what is wrong with her heart.
I was looking forward to not spending more time in the hospital, but that doesn’t seem to be in my cards just now.

My sister gave me this tea for Christmas, and it’s nice to make its acquaintance again!
Not the most pumpkin-y tea in the world, but I actually find the somewhat lighter blend of spices to be very pleasant.
