So smooth, from start to finish. Chocolate, bread, malt. Exactly what I needed today.
Yesterday was another clearing, shuffling, sorting kind of day. I am attempting to make space in what is/was my office for an army cot so that I can see whether I will be woken and kept awake by my neighbours—on both sides, omg—in that space as well.
As is, I am woken btwn 3 and 4 by some sort of electro-magnetic current and kept awake from then until whenever, usual 7 am, just in time for the condo construction to start.
I’ve tried going to bed at 7 and 8 and 9 pm to be able to get some rest, but nope. On one side, the neighbours trail past my bedroom with gangs of friends and family and tenants, each with buzzing, pinging cellphones, roaming currents, whatever, and two big scary barking dogs. These people all work shifts, so there is always action in the night and early morning. They also seem to have an overwhelming number of big screens on through the night which somehow affect my brain and its ability to shutdown/stay in shutdown mode. When they turn them on, especially in the night, it is like a massive electrical surge in my space (though we are not connected).
On the other side, it’s a young family with two kids and their extended family and friends. They all seem to have an exercise addiction—elliptical, wii, various workouts on old wooden floors with programs connecting devices and ear buds and whatever else through Bluetooth and/or wifi. The husband comes home at 3 or 5 am and he and his partner yell at each other in the quiet night. Not often with the fighting, but whatever. Maybe coming home at 3 or 5 is usual though. Then, of course, early waking and more exercise, of one kind or another. These people don’t seem to sleep in the night either.
Ugh.
Ok, maybe this is more a life review than a tea review.
Back to the point, every time I shuffle things around at home, I shuffle around my tea order/disorder. New forgotten ones come into focus.
And here we are.
This one is so lovely. I am grateful that it is deliciously here to soothe, motivate, and uplift me.
Onward!

Sleep disruption is miserable! Plenty of sympathy and kind words for you here.
I hope your new bedroom location helps you get some sleep!
Thank you both. Not there yet, but we’re moving along. It remains to be seen as to whether it will be better as it is much closer to the people with the exercise fetish. (I’d be exercising more if these people would let me sleep.) In the meantime, yay! I found more tea. :)
