Dang it all, I’ve caught my brother’s cold. Stuffy nose, stuffy ears, scratchy throat. Ick ick ick.

This tea isn’t a cure, but it tastes good and makes me think I feel better. I’ve had several “cold” teas and of them all this one is the best hands down. I’m going to sit up in bed with my knitting and a pot of this.

Yarn weather has returned here, too. Last night, I was crocheting a scarf for our Operation Christmas Child box, but got distracted watching Minnie (cat)intently watch me. Long dangly things are not safe around her, but she was exercising a great deal of self-control.

Everything is a cat toy when you are a cat. Especially elastic bands and socks (sometimes still on your feet). Also pencils and things on the mantle are apparently the greatest toy ever at 3am while everyone is trying to sleep.

Throw rugs are a particular target in the kitchen—one of these days somebody’s going to get a broken neck from tripping over the rumpled ones :)

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.
