78

I woke with a scratchy throat. Now it is quite painful to swallow, but only on the right side. (That makes me nervous. I remember when I had strep throat. It started out like that.) It’s also rather warm today, so I brewed this and poured it over ice.

Hm. Let me just say I vastly prefer it hot.

I began my new position as Operations Coordinator on Monday. I was in the office all week for training, and what a change that was from rolling out of bed and staggering to the room next door to punch in and work. I will be driving in to the office only on Mondays and every other Thursday from now on. What a relief that is. I hope I have this sore throat kicked by Monday. The office has a real Jekyll and Hyde temperature. It is about 70 in the morning from 7 to 9, then it seems like they turn the heat on, because after that it is about 80. I guess I can enjoy a hot cuppa when I first get there and then switch to iced tea for the rest of the day.

Oh dear! My daughter was looking at a sample of this tea today but just to try it for kicks, not for medicinal qualities. I hope you feel better soon.

Bio

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.
