A friend of mine gave me two boxes filled with a. variety of tea bags. So sweet of her. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that I am a bit of a tea snob—not really as I will try almost any tea—and have mountains of loose tea at home. Mountains.
So I am housesitting, which means that I have peace and quiet, internet access and a reliable fridge to keep milk in.
This tea is ok, but just. Having been blessed with Anne’s stellar chais, this one hardly compares. But I’ll drink it because milk, winter, cold.
And Steepster, oh how I have missed you. My wifi died and then my computer died and then I couldn’t remember my passwords to come back and could not even possibly start a NEW Evol account. And then there’s been the thing of my neighbours keeping me awake for the past 5 years and me having lost the will to live in this permanently exhausted state. And my own health issues even before that started. And then, of course, this covid situation, God help us all.
But while I have wifi for now, I am back!

Thank you, Everyone! So good to be back. I’ve missed our Steepster gatherings, sharing life, tea, and news, commiserating, and tea slurping.
Alas, tomorrow I go back home to no wifi, no milk, and no sleep. But I am here for now and perhaps this wee rest and renewal will carry me through with enough energy to change things, at least a bit.
Thank you, Ms. Strange! <3 Right back at ya!
I thought of you a lot during the DT upheaval. Are you still in Montreal?
And BTW, I can’t remember my FB password. Would you kindly tell our peeps there that I am more or less ok?
And good to see y’all too! Thank you.
The first three days without wifi is tough and after that, it’s fine. I even got a bit of an attention span back. I even started reading books.
Wow, good on ya!
Montreal is such a fabulous city. Though right now it may have lost its sheen a bit.
Just a couple of days after DT announced that I had a free 50gr bag of tea waiting for me, the city went into lockdown and all of their shops closed. That sucked. I had the tea I wanted all picked out and everything.
Welcome back!
And let’s hope that you passed through all the misery and now better days will come!
Glad to see you back!
Welcome back! :D
It’s great to see you back on Steepster!
WELCOME BACK!! <3

It’s so nice to see you on here again! (:
Good to see you again! I hope you run into wifi again soon!
I just got my laptop back today. Been 4 days down. Glad to see you back.
@Evol Ving Ness – Yes, still in MTL and still at DT :)
