Been lurking and liking more these days than posting; since December, life has been full of serving as an executor, freezing in general, battling bouts of seasonal glums, dealing with the oncoming departure of a dear coworker (temporarily tripling the number of things under my purview), and as of last night, being the baloney in a three car crash sandwich. So there’s insurance. Lots of bricks in the barrel.
Shameless plea for empathy notwithstanding, those of you who drink for comfort as well as flavor know that life circumstances sometimes affect what you need in a tea. Lately it’s been unleaded, bagged, hot, strong. Red Rose and Murphy’s to the rescue. Extra stout.
This week, I just needed a little kindness in a cup. A box of Calm mysteriously appeared on my desk at work yesterday—and that was even before I smashed up Dear Gussie (yes, we name our vehicles). Used to be I thought there was too much licorice in this chamomile/minty blend. Today it’s pretty delicious.

Oh, gmathis, sorry to hear that life has been pouring buckets on you. May this season pass soon. Thankfully, tea helps, even if only just a little bit.
Oh, no. It sounds like you are going through a very rough patch right now. Poor Gussie. I name my cars too. I hope things get better for you very soon. Hugs.
Oh dear! Prayers, my friend, and a better season ahead!
As soon as I quit beating myself up over it, I’ll be able to better appreciate God’s prevention and intervention the millisecond I hit the brakes. a) Nobody hurt. b) Local constabulary was one driveway away and could help immediately. c) No driver freaking out or being temperamental. d) No ticket; there were mitigating circumstances. e) My “safe driver” deductible rewards kicked in and knocked it down to 0. I’m sure there’s an “F,” just haven’t discovered it yet.
P.S. Y’all are great.
Hugs are good. Passing a virtual one along here.
