on making tea and other thoughts

 Hello all! 

I'm feeling more like a journal-entry type format today so strap in!

One of the things I wanted to share is the way I make tea which I don't think is particularly crazy but I do think is particularly yummy ( attempt at your own risk). 

this mug i think is boring but to each their own 

Here are the steps:

1. boil water, hopefully in a kettle of some sort but I guess in the microwave if one is desperate (necessary)

2. get a mug you really like (necessary in MY opinion)

3. while the water boils add to the mug (all to taste): 

- honey 

- sugar 

- yes both I don't care

- an earl gray tea bag, I use Twinings but I doubt it matters 

- lavender syrup (this step is the most optional but if you add it you are officially making what is called a "London Fog" and I think that's fun ( shoutout to my Mom for getting me lavender syrup))

4.  pour the boiling water into that concoction, but not all the way to the top, and let it stew for a while like you're brewing a potion

5. grab your preferred milk, (I have whole because something's up with me probably) and fill it to the top 

TADA!!! a perfect London Fog!

Ok next! A list of small things 

- I've become mildly addicted to online Mahjong 

- found out that the guy who recorded an audiobook I'm listening to killed his wife last year????

- I want it to be a real spring and not another fake one, that rat lied 

- I had a job interview for Dry Goods in the mall and didn't get it :(

- finally got approved to be a doordasher so I can't wait to be incredibly wealthy  

- we're reading Joan Didion's Slouching Towards Bethlehem for book club 

- my boyfriend Tate and I watched Gnomeo and Juliet and I still firmly believe that it is probably one of the top films in cinema history 

I mean come. on. 

- Kitty has figured out how to take off the collar I bought for here a few weeks ago, She is so smart 

- David Tennant hosting the Baftas 

- Every week I patiently wait for Monday so that I can listen to the Watcher Entertainment podcast

- when it's warm I consider chopping off all of my hair into a Joan of Arc bob 

- we had a mock Joan of Arc trial the other day for my Women in European History class and I was forced to be against her and argued very hard that she was a possessed temptress 

- I have been desperately trying to download a system that will let me play all the old Poptropica islands but I can't seem to get it to work (if you have any information on this please let me know)

- "No Surprises" by Radiohead

Ok, I think that's all of my immediate thoughts that you now all have direct access to! 

Sorry that this was kind of a long post but hopefully it's the kind of thing your mind easily glazes over. Wow, I'm such a talented documentarian. Goodbye for now! Mwah
