The first cup I brewed since moving to mom’s. Still delicious. Mild, naturally slightly sweet.

Since my mom insists on having the place at 80 degrees, I will probably be brewing more iced tea than hot tea. I still have all my craft stuff at my old place. Ws hoping to move that home this weekend, but we’re expecting a big, rain/ice/snow storm and my brother has said no. That’s fine. I have no time to sew right now anyway. Basically I am exhausted and not looking forward to moving the rest. Sigh. No rest for the weary.

Oh, yeah, we should’ve warned you about that! (Sub-tropical thermostat.)
Be advised, based on experience, that the TV volume level will be permanently set to an eardrum-splitting 85. Flippishness aside, hope the remainder of your settle-in goes smoothly. Praying for you as I post this.

I learned to wear short sleeves all winter and just toss a cardigan on outside! In summer you just pray you won’t faint. And may God help you if you schedule a doctor’s appointment during their “story!”

Thank you gmathis for the prayers! Yes, mom does have her TV up loud. Surprisingly it doesn’t bother me. I guess it’s missing that element of bass that so annoys me. I think living here will be better than I had expected!

The other thing that was hard for me to adjust to, elder-wise, was the inability to improvise or re-think anything. Once a plan was made, events had to proceed exactly accordingly; variations or cancellations just blew their minds.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
