Breakfast for supper! My favourite!
Even though I’ve done next to nothing today, it still feels like I’ve accomplished a lot and exerted a ton of energy. That’s a good thing, right? So far, I’ve beat another gym leader in Pokemon Y and finished leveling my Skrelp so it’s at the same level as the rest of my team – so yay for that. I think I’d like to get my team (of 12 Pokemon, now) to level 55 before tackling the 6th gym. I also talked to both of my parents for the first time in around a week or two; my mom this morning and my Dad this evening. We’re trying to plan out Christmas and figure out what the best time for me to come back home is. I’d really like to stay in town on Christmas so I can work and get stat pay (which my Mom understands, although my Dad wants me home) – so I figured I’d set aside a whole week to come visit both of them either before Christmas or after to compensate. Preferably after, because right before Christmas I’ll likely get a boost in hours but everything will slow down after Christmas… It’s kind of sad that everything has to be about the money.
I also started watching Degrassi: The Next Generation today. I used to watch it when I was younger, but I can barely remember the plotline or even what season I was watching. It was kind of iconic to me, though; the character Marco was some of the first REAL exposure to gay characters on television and in the media that I ever had, and that was important to me as someone trying to figure out my own sexuality. So I’m excited to rewatch parts (and see parts for the first time, too) – it’s another TV show that I think I can get into, plus it’s Canadian!
But back to the tea! First time I had this was to go for my first day merchandising for Calendar Club. I remember having mixed feelings about it and not really being sure if it’s something I’d reorder again. I think my mixed feelings were coming from the fact it’s heavy on mint and strawberry (which I love) and ginger with a green tea base (which I hate) – and that’s really contradictory. However, this is also a tea I’ve been dreaming about having again – literally! I had a dream about this tea. I don’t know if I’ve ever flat out dreamt about a tea before now. So of course I had to have it again!
I’m glad I did. Whatever reservations I had before are gone now – I’m loving this! Even if there’s ginger it’s not dampening how good this tastes right now, and although I’m still quite reserved and hesitant in my exploration of straight green teas I think I’ve really warmed up to flavoured ones. This tea is really balanced flavour wise: I feel like I’m getting something strong but equal from each ingredient, and taste wise this is very refreshing.
So yes, I think this is a keeper and something I’ll be reordering! Time to bump up my rating!
