I had a dream that I was in a fancy grocery store and was frantically looking for Paris. Every tin was empty, and used for decoration around the shop, and I was opening tea tins looking for one that was full, and getting increasingly upset.
I did finally find one with tea in it, and in my dream I was so relieved that it was time for a cup of Paris when I woke up.
I feel that the fact that I have nightmares about tea scarcity says a lot about me.

Ooof, it’s been a week. Happy “thank-goodness-the-holidays-are-over” to all who celebrate.
I spent New Years Eve stranded in a rainy train station parking lot after my train was delayed for several hours, after hitting a tree, and then my car not starting.
I was so happy to get to bed, and then to have tea!
Its a cold and stormy time here (lots of downed trees and such), and I wish I could stay home and drink tea, but alas, I must return to reality.

Merry Christmas, Steepster friends! I hope the day is full of only the best tea, and only the best company.

Whew! Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a great late autumn/early winter/ start of the holidays.
I am running like nuts- in fact I am about to start out on a huge trip! I am entirely freaking out.
I’ll tell you all about it when I get home, but sufficient to say it’s one of the trips I’ve always wanted to take, and I am excited and terrified.
But first, tea.

Ok! Progress! I only woke up a half an hour before my alarm, not my full alarm!
These periods (stress, exhaustion), leads me to drink almost nothing but comfort teas. I look forward to doing some new tea-drinking, but that is not today.
Yum to comfort teas!

Ugh.
So Saturday I was felled my a mighty migraine, which had me sleeping and unable to eat all day.
I am much better now, but my sleep has been screwed up. Daylight savings time is probably not helping, either.
This is day two of waking up at least an hour before my alarm, which is not great. I am really, really busy at work (some stress there), and I have a huge trip coming up in two weeks that I need to prepare for.
Ugh.
Help me, cup of tea, you are my only hope.

It’s been a weird week.
Last night, in a completely round about and accidental way I learned that my ex had got married recently.
This is not bad news! We broke up years ago, it was a very sad break up, but it was for the best, and he and I are still friendly. I’ve known about his girlfriend for ages, and I’ve always wanted him to have all he wants in life.
But it’s still an odd sensation. I was with him for the better part of a decade, and there was a long time that I thought that would be our future. I don’t regret anything about our relationship, or our break up, but it’s still something that has knocked me a bit unbalanced.
Oh, adulthood. There are a few weird nuggets in it, arn’t there? And emotions are weird!
But, there is tea. Yum. It’s finally cold enough to really get relaxed when I drink a cup of tea. We are heading into my favorite time of the year.

Its been a crazy few weeks, and yesterday ended in a client yelling at me. Sigh.
Also Daylight Savings Time is annoying me. I used to like the autumn adjustment best, but now I find I cant stay asleep all the time I should be asleep. Bleh.
But this morning it is raining, huge, satisfying rain.
This is an apple cinnamon tea, which is pretty nicely balanced between the apple and the cinnamon. Thats great, as I don’t want the cinnamon to overwhelm.
A nice cup of tea and some rain will do a lot towards making this week ok.

Happy Halloween!
I don’t have any pumpkin blends in my cupboard today, so I will drink this cup that, to me, is the quintessence of fall.
Yum.

So this tea is almost straight up cinnamon, and maybe a smack of clove. Its a very heavy sort of tea.
I wish there was a more “muffin-y” element to this tea.
