Don’t know if you’ve noticed the great big blobs of storms and tornados on national radar this weekend, but said blobs have kept us in clench mode since Friday, with a nice case of Stormus Interruptus about 1 a.m. (All is well; the bad stuff fizzled before it reached us.)

But lack of sleep and need for energy drove me straight to the chocolate this morning—cookie dough protein bar and this decent strawberry tea. The chocolate appears to come from artificial flavoring, which always tastes a little thin and chemically, but the strawberry is just about right. Not a fussy steeper, either, which, given my groggy morning state, was helpful.

Next time, I’ll see if a spoonful of cocoa nibs beefs it up a little.

Glad to hear wverything is alright! We are in the middle of dry seasons and Walpurgis Night seems to be without open fires. Actually I am not regretting it.

It’s May. It’ll be around for a while, but we get a break for a couple of days. If the mud dries up, I’m celebrating by wearing my new bright yellow sneakers to work tomorrow. Whether they match my outfit or not.

Martin, thank you for continuing to broaden my international education! Walpurgis isn’t a thing in the American Midwest ;)
