2810 Tasting Notes
So I am sick, in a play so wildy busy, in my busiest period of the working year, it’s pouring rain, and over the weekend the nice young man I had been seeing and I split. (A nice split, no one angry. Our lives are just in very different places. I wish him all the best, and am in no way angry, I’m just sad and I miss him.)
So nice tea with a spoonful of honey today. I am going to be a nice to myself as possible.
And sipdown!
This was never my favorite blend- I found it veered too easily into bitter, which is unfortunate.
I actually tried it with a splash of milk, something I almost never do, and found it very agreeable. But, as I almost never have tea with milk, this blend is probably not the breakfast blend for me.
Still, very nice to try!
New to me tea.
The description is all sorts of things I like- caramel, fruits, whats not to like? Lets see how it brews up.
This is rather reminding me of Neptune, and that means it brews up flatter and a touch more bitter than I expected.
Hmmm. Well, plenty more to try, so I may unlock it yet.
Oh Frabjous day!
The bad work situation is almost 100% resolved, and what we do have done means that probably the tempers at play will go down. And it is now the weekend!
I’m afraid, today, the weather is pouring, a situation I really like, but that I need to get up and go to my side hustle, rather than staying snug and warm in bed, listening to the storm outside.
Ah well. I shall do my work, then come back and sit with tea and books and my knitting and listen to the rain.
I am afraid to say that this is the last cup of this particular pouch of the Jabberwocky. Drat it all! I swear I’m not drinking all this tea? Maybe tea goblins come in and sip it down while I’m not looking?
Less than nice work situation continues, but there may be a light at the end of the tunnel. We are not out of it yet, but there are huge steps towards a resolution. Gosh I hope so.
Normally I love my job. I love coming into the office, I love by boss, I find the company great, all sorts of good things. This week has certainly needed frequent reminders that everything is good, and I am very happy, and this will pass. In a few years I wont remember it at all.
I’m still not quite sure about this breakfast blend. I’m finding it a little bitter, which is never what you want in your first cup of the day. But there is a richness of flavor, after the initial bitter sip, so I am not opposed to playing around with it.
Hmm.
It is going to be A Week. There is one of those situations at work that is just going to be ugly until it is done, so everyone around is stressed and unhappy.
Inhale, exhale.
We’re going to get through it, and when we do it will be glorious, and until then I will drink lots of tea and keep breathing.
I cannot understand how people work in more stressful jobs. Mine only occationally has a stressful moment, but when they hit it knocks me for a loop. People with harder jobs must be made of solid iron, rather than the combination of wobbly jello and marshmallow fluff that I am made of.
Sending you lots of love. This is a lot to go through all at once. I’m glad you are practicing some self-care and self-love today.
Sorry all the glums have hit at once. Praying for you.
I am so sorry! Hugs from across the miles, and I wish I could have you over for tea. Prayers for you today.
time for mani/pedi & warm home baked cookies? =)
Thank you all. You are all the best.
Gah! Sending hugs and well wishes and seconding the need to generous self-care.
