2970 Tasting Notes
How is is Monday? Where did my weekend go? Where did my last week go?
Fortunately I have tea.
I am a creature of habits. I felt like this tea, so this tea I shall drink.
Tower of London is one of my favorite teas for those mornings where I want to just enjoy something without thinking about it too hard.
Its my birthday! And it got off to a wild start.
At 3 in the morning my phone rang. It was the security company for my office saying that the alarm was going off, and that police had been dispatched.
Fortunately they didn’t call back (which means that the police didn’t find anything), but I had trouble going back to sleep.
Ah well.
Adventures!
In any case, a lovely cup of a favorite tea is much desired today. Yum!
So I live in the part of California that is being slammed with lots of rain, high winds, and general Weather™. So far it’s not flooding here, but there are big sections of the roads that are not in ideal condition.
I love the rain, but I wish it would happen on the weekends, instead of when I need to go to work. I spent all weekend annoyed that it was clear and I had nowhere to go, but this morning it’s pouring and I’m going to need to go to work soon.
But for now I can listen to the rain and sip this lovely cup of tea.
I had a dream that I was in a fancy grocery store and was frantically looking for Paris. Every tin was empty, and used for decoration around the shop, and I was opening tea tins looking for one that was full, and getting increasingly upset.
I did finally find one with tea in it, and in my dream I was so relieved that it was time for a cup of Paris when I woke up.
I feel that the fact that I have nightmares about tea scarcity says a lot about me.
(Grin) You are not alone. I dreamed I landed a part time job in the one local coffee shop (inside a garden center/nursery, of all places) that serves decent tea … strictly because I wanted to make the tea. Instead, they made me scrub landscape rocks.
Ooof, it’s been a week. Happy “thank-goodness-the-holidays-are-over” to all who celebrate.
I spent New Years Eve stranded in a rainy train station parking lot after my train was delayed for several hours, after hitting a tree, and then my car not starting.
I was so happy to get to bed, and then to have tea!
Its a cold and stormy time here (lots of downed trees and such), and I wish I could stay home and drink tea, but alas, I must return to reality.
Whew! Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a great late autumn/early winter/ start of the holidays.
I am running like nuts- in fact I am about to start out on a huge trip! I am entirely freaking out.
I’ll tell you all about it when I get home, but sufficient to say it’s one of the trips I’ve always wanted to take, and I am excited and terrified.
But first, tea.
Ugh.
So Saturday I was felled my a mighty migraine, which had me sleeping and unable to eat all day.
I am much better now, but my sleep has been screwed up. Daylight savings time is probably not helping, either.
This is day two of waking up at least an hour before my alarm, which is not great. I am really, really busy at work (some stress there), and I have a huge trip coming up in two weeks that I need to prepare for.
Ugh.
Help me, cup of tea, you are my only hope.
