So now I'm allowing myself one cup of tea before noon. That can't possibly hurt, can it?

I love my tea machine so very much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sweet -- we are closing at 2 today!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All that thing needs to be the Perfect Device is a laser that fires into the teapot to warm the tea....

I couldn't justify buying a tea machine. It didn't seem to make things much less complicated than boiling water in a kettle.

I may have launched a kerfluffle at work. I told someone to do something and she ran with it. (Her first language is not English and I think something got lost in translation.) So she wrote to someone else saying that I refused to approve something, and "insisted" it remain the same, when I really have no power to do anything more than "strongly advise." I have to smooth this over somehow, but I am not sure how I won't step on toes.
Can I blame Tino for this?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
This weekend I'll be:
- Shopping for a black bra, shawl, and hose to wear to a cocktail party next week
- Helping my manager load up the van with display stuff for next week's conference
- Eating hot-dogs, with buns, and as many strawberries as I can get my hands on
- Biking all over town, just for the hell of it (if my bike's still there when I get home)
- Trying to see Star Trek again.
The dress I'll be wearing to the cocktail party arrived yesterday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That machine is quite serious. More than I could justify for my one cup. But I have started paying more attention to brewing now that I know I'm just getting the one, no matter what.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Pretty dress, Calli!
We leave at 3:00 today, and I predict there will be almost nothing to do until then.
