Earl Grey Decaf from Twinings
87

Oh wow…this tea is pretty darn good, even though it’s from a teabag and decaf. I wasn’t even keeping track of how long I steeped it, but I think it steeped pretty long, in boiling water…yet not a bit of bitterness! I added in some milk and Splenda, and the tea is strong enough to handle it. It tastes creamy, orangey, sugary, and flowery. It’s late, and I apologize if this note is just blah. But the tea itself? Good enough that it’s making me feel better since my kitty, who peed all over her own winter coat fur bloomers, backed up into my leg 5 minutes ago and got pee on me. :(

(Side note….should I take her for a haircut? It’s the middle of winter, but my apartment is really warm…)

Aww, poor kitty. My oldest can’t really groom herself anymore and she’s long haired so we keep her shaved. In the winter she wears sweaters.

Wait wtf my comment got messed up… I typed Ashes (less than three heart) and then that Wendy is normally good at keeping clean, and she managed to pee in the box, but it’s icky how her back legs got soaked.

Was definitely not saying that Ashes is icky!! She’s like Wendy’s older twin sister :)

By the way, the fact that kitty sweaters exist is making me want to shave my cat, just for the hell of it. :)

Shanti, I’ll tell you a secret – it’s really a doggie sweater. Shhh! Don’t let Ashes know!
