Being sick is getting really old. That is all.

I hope you feel better soon. I had a cough for months last spring and the loss of sleep was doing me in. I felt like I was in a Bronte novel ;)

Fortunately I can sleep through almost anything, including my own coughing. And I could possibly deal with the coughing if my stomach wasn’t mysteriously bothering me again… :P

Blech and sympathy to you. Are you able to stay at home with a blankie or do you have to go out and face the world feeling icky?

Unfortunately I am going to a scientific conference next week and I have to prepare, so I have to drag myself to work regardless. At least I have lots of good tea here!

Feel better you! There’s nothing worse than being sick when you have so much to get done. Get as much rest as you possibly can :)

Profile

Bio

I am tea obsessed, with the stash to match. I tend to really enjoy green oolongs, Chinese blacks, and flavored teas with high quality bases, especially florals, bergamot-based teas, and chocolate teas.

I’m a grad student and in my free time I am a birder, baker, and music/movie/tv addict.

I have an Adagio Teas UtiliTEA kettle and a Tea Forté Kati cup for brewing. I also have a Chinese Ru Kiln tea set for gongfu brewing.

Here are my rating categories, FYI:
100-90: These teas are mind-blowingly good to me.
89-80: I really really like these teas and will keep most of them in the permanent collection, but they’re not quite as spectacular as the top category
79-70: Tasty teas that I enjoy, but definitely won’t rebuy when I run out.
69-65: Teas that I would probably drink again, but wouldn’t seek out. They don’t quite do it for me in one aspect or another; often just not quite my style
64-60: Teas that I don’t really enjoy all that much and wouldn’t drink another cup of.
59-50: Bleh. I usually choose not to finish the cup because life’s too short to drink tea I dislike.
49 and below: Mega yuck. This tea is just disgusting to me.
