My four year old niece came over to visit today and, while she was under the weather (get well soon!) and was super moody, she was also an adorable distraction from the seasonal blah today (feeling very blah). My mom’s out of town cousin also called the family today and reminisced about the whole extended family. Extremely nostalgic and more blah.
I’m glad I dipped into this one in the afternoon because it’s like wrapping up into a luxurious blanket. Also, it steeps up quick (20s) and that’s an added comfort when things got busy today. A most dependent and favourite tea.
Steep Count: 6

Maybe it is because of the shorter days. The end of DST usually throws me off a bit, too. Hope the blahs blow away!
So glad that you had this tea to coddle you during this batch of the blahs. And the other nice things that the day included, of course.
Hope the blahs lighten up a bit. Light helps. A friend swears by her Happy Light. I’ve considered getting one.
Here, we’ve had a few dark grim days, but now, we have a bit of freak warm bright weather and I am grateful. I hope you get a bit of warm brightness coming your way too.
Evol: I am glad you said that. I have been looking at some lights, wondering how much they help. Meanwhile, I am intentionally opening the blinds and sitting in a sunny patch on the floor of the den each morning to see if that helps. We have a north facing porch so that shades the front windows and a back carport that shades the back windows. There are only two windows that let in lots of light in winter.
I found a little sliver of full sun this morning and it was a big deal. I do need to look into some lighting :)
DST kicks my butt every year. That’s all I’m going to say on the matter because the rest of my feelings towards the time changes aren’t nice.
Another thing which may be helpful is switching light bulbs to natural light light bulbs. I bought some with good intentions and promptly put them somewhere very safe, very very safe. I hope they turn up one day.
Yep, I think light is a thing. May we all have more of it.
