I am getting seriously annoyed with the jerk in my building (or jerks, who knows) who keeps turning the heat off. When I get up in the morning, it’s cold! I’m wrapped up in a fleece blanket and a fleece robe (still bare feet tho..), with my hands wrapped around a giant mug of tea.
Brr! “Spring” doesn’t mean “turn off the heat so the north facing apartment over the storage area gets really cold”!
I keep looking outside, thinking there’s snow all over that tree. But no. Cherry blossoms. Phew.
I haven’t had this tea in a while, and I also forgot to set a timer. I steeped closer to 4 minutes though, I can tell because there’s some dryness to the tea that I don’t usually find present with my usual 3 minute brew.
So good. So, so good. Other-Flavoured earl grey’s are definitely my preferred earl grey intake method. This one is creamy and fruity and just. Yum.

Grumpties. Whoever’s messing with your heat needs to stop! :<
I prefer earl-grey-and when I’m drinking earl grey too. Paris is good stuff!
I know! Every fall and every spring we get into this passive aggressive argument of turning it on, then turning it off, etc. It’s ridiculous.
I have a warm fuzzy cat on my lap now too. Yay extra warmth!
Brrr. That’s totally not cool! (It is, I guess that’s the problem…)
The bonus is that it’s not below freezing here! Not quite bare-leg weather, but definitely not freezing.
I’m having the exact opposite problem here. I moved in slightly earlier before the other students, so the heat was still off. In the basement here, it was pretty cold. Then once everyone moved in, they’ve cranked up the heat, and it’s been so hot that it’s been setting off the fire alarm at 6am. Ugh. Stupid maintenance people, I tell you.
It’s so hot it’s setting off the fire alarm?! What? That is ridiculous.
It’s luckily stopped last month once it started warming up a bit. I’m sure the heating system has some sensor that turns down when it warms up outside, but still, I feel really bad for the firefighters for having their time wasted so many damn times. I just hope things will straighten out for you over there, soon.
