I had never heard of Adagio, at least not in the context of tea. Will have to rectify this, perhaps with a Jilli blend.

I don't drink tea as much as I used to. It used to be my weekend caffeine, but now I require coffee every day. When I do drink it, my tea of choice is Yorkshire Gold. It used to be Imperial Gold, but the company that made it went out of business. In the evening, I love tisanes, either a mint blend or Chamomile Nights, which is an amazing Stash tea with mint and lotus.

For some reason lately the tannins (I guess?) in tea do a number on my stomach in the morning when coffee doesn't , but I love my herbal or white shiz in the evening/afternoon.

I have done such a lot of nothing today. It's not good. But I did have some tea, made with my non-fancy electric kettle that tells me the water is boiling by turning itself off, and in a cast-iron teapot kept warm with an actual tea light candle. So I have that going for me. Thinking about going out to dinner presently.

I promised myself I would do get three particular tasks done today. So far I am 1 for 3, and that one was pretty darn half assed.

I swam. I think I sorted out my damnedPayPal mess (it had an old email, I apparently had two and apparently can't capitalize and space my security auth answers the same way twice.) my cats used me as a bed. That's all I've got.

And now I'm going to call my parents. Which I've been dreading, because I have yet to tell them and somehow that's a pretty big chunk of it being real for me. Uhg.

I'm sorry, sarameg. I hope it is less horrible than you fear.

And keeping my sympathies separate from the NSFW link, had we all seen this? [link]

I told my parents yesterday and it was A Thing. Needs to be done, sarameg. I'm sorry about the realness.

And of course, they aren't answering. And you for the win with an ita-worthy-don't link.
