Today’s cuppa is a Lavender Cream from Murchie’s: “a beautifully balanced lavender-scented tea enriched with creamy French vanilla.”

It’s a black tea, so there are tannins on the tongue, and slight lavender with more vanilla. I, of course, use a splash of milk and that adds to the creaminess of the blend. I’d say a 6 out of 10, but remember, I am not a connoisseur so take the rating as you will.

This is my first post for this particular blogging project and I am curious to know how the blog-verse is out there? I’ve been absent for a few years as I reconciled with some writing career side quests that included a full stop, death moment (figuratively, not literally). And in those years of absenteeism, oh boy is the world an interesting and unusually stressful place to be in.

I live in the United States; so pick your anxiety stressor.

In the past, I have used the blogging space as a combination of thought dump and writing freedom, and I’ll likely navigate this particular blog in the same manner. Why not, right? After all this is but a pinprick in a vast world of written word, both human generated and AI generated. We live in a simulacrum and we all find ourselves wandering about trying to the best we can.

Anyway.

I’m going to go scan the bands, as my radio-obsessed husband would say, and see what is going on in the blog-verse. Hopefully, I will get a sense of space and time once more, though as always, if you are one of the few to come across this entry and have kept reading, please let me know your thoughts on… well anything, really. We will pick it up.

Until next time, have a cuppa, enjoy the pause, and remember to breathe.
