So I’ve had a canker for the last few days, and it’s right on the right edge of my tongue and it’s driving me insane. I can’t enjoy food, and drinking any liquid just intensifies the pain because obviously liquid isn’t easily contained to one side of my mouth. Well, I suppose I could always use a straw, but a) I don’t have any; and b) I don’t really feel like it.
To top that off, I submitted something that I wasn’t very confident about to my boss before leaving work yesterday, and it was on my mind all evening. So much so that it kept me up at night, and I kept waking with a start every hour or so, thinking about it stupidly even though it actually isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things (well, hopefully not, anyway). When i woke up this morning, I knew I needed a comforting tea, and so I reached for this one. I’m proud to say that it brewed perfectly both times I had it: once as my morning cup with my brewing basket, and then again in my timolino (not a second steep though, a fresh bunch of leaves). I really think this tea shines for me with cream and rock sugar, so I added in reasonably liberal amounts of both. I also steeped in my timolino for about seven minutes, which insured that the flavour was strong the way I like it. I think this is going to be a winter staple, because it has with it a very warming and comforting quality.
Can I just say how happy I am that I bring tea to work? It’s one little way to ensure that no matter what else happens, there’ll always be at least a little happiness with me at work that doesn’t really depend on anything else.
Ok, that’s enough from me. Back to work I go.
And hey! the weekend coming up is closer than the one we left behind now! wooo!

That’s exactly how I feel about my tea thermos. If all else fails – at least I’ll have my thermos.
That’s exactly it. Guaranteed peace! I love inserting little guarantees like that into my day, especially because I can reliably be counted on to eventually get worked up about something or other haha.
Oh, very good! I also tend to rely fairly heavily on my nail polish and my evening bath for fail-safe guarantees in my everyday life.
Oh, evening baths are wonderful. I’m lamenting the fact that our bath tub isn’t very evening-bath-inspiring.
I feel the same about having tea at work – it really makes a huge difference to my day.
Yup, makes all the difference. I hope everyone has a vice like this. makes me want to give my timolino a hug haha.
“Fail-safe guarantees” yes—I love this conversation! I feel that way about my workday lunches. “No matter what happens, I am so excited about my leftover Thai!” Ha.
