It’s too early for the seasonal glums, but it’s cold and gray and I was in need a little pick-me-up. Thanks to derk, I have one: a little packet of cheeky, chimpy, perky, cheerful tea with banana bits and a flavor that reminds me of bright yellow banana Runts. I’m getting more fudge in the scent than in the flavor, but I didn’t steep very scientifically, either.

Lancelot Link and Mata Hairi (you’ll just have to Google it) would have approved.

So glum here we are putting up the tree tonight and we NEVER decorate this early.

That’s on the books for next weekend. Our hard and fast rule used to be “NO TREE UNTIL IT’S DECEMBER,” but now it’s, “if it’s going to be up for less than a month, it’s too much work."
