David's Tea: Glitter & Gold

I kind of like talking about the different tea I drink. I'm almost done with the Glitter & Gold packet Reimer got me from David's Tea. Briony from work and I visited David's Tea down in Chicago last summer on the way to the WLA conference and both fell in love with their teas. I remember seeing this one, but since it was a black I didn't get it. I don't normally like most black teas, but this one I'm particularly fond of.

According to the package, it has black tea (obvs), lemon peel, and cloves. It also has little gold sugar stars, which look super cool, so I'm sad that you can't actually see them, since they're always wrapped in something.

It smells great and tastes really good, provided you don't make it too weak (like I just did when I added more water to it). Apparently, I must be pretty immune to tea caffeine, since it does absolutely nothing for me; but my coworker Briony is buzzing after half a cup.

I also got a "Queen of Tarts" tea from them, which like a tarty fruit tea; a nut tea, which is surprisingly delicious; and - my favorite - genmaicha (matcha + green tea). They're cheaper than both Teavanna and Fava, which does make me wonder; but I've loved everything I've gotten from them so far, which I can't say for Fava. They just opened a new David's Tea in Brookfield and I'm excited to visit. The first time I went to David's Tea was in Boston, right off the Freedom Trail.

January 18 - Being a therapist: 10 rides at Magic Kingdom

Sitting at The Whiskey on Sand Lake, waiting for Bryan. I took myself to Epcot, where it rained, and spent the entire day on the phone. Sea World Nick's finally hit wall with his Jeff problems and has accepted that he needs to see a counselor. That's good. Hopefully, Melody and I can become friends in the process.  We'll go go Magic Kingdom next to see the Country Bears before they're gone, but it feels good to not be at Disney for a second, even if it meant having to drive all the way back to Sand Lake and then drive back again.  No photos today.  LATER ADDITION: Despite it being really damp, rainy, cold, and puddly; and despite Bryan and I both being really tired (possibly because of drinking whiskey and wine, but also possibly because I was emotionally drained), Bryan and I somehow went on 10 rides at Magic Kingdom in 3 hours and closed out the park.  We didn't realize this until we were talking in the car later because we weren't rushing or even aiming to do...

したこと: - Found out someone at work was trying to groom me to cheat on his wife with him, something he's tried before with other women at work, unsuccessfully.  - Had to sign paperwork with my boss in the room stating that I understand employees are allowed to have relationships with each other (I never questioned that) after someone claimed I made a statement I never did after they themselves made many compromising statements. Awkward situations abound now. But everyone has to work professionally and deal, and I better than anyone can do that.  - My boss handled the situation neutrally and incredibly respectfully. I felt incredibly supported by her in that moment and like she handled it very well. I appreciated her skills as a leader in that situation and am grateful. She closed the situation graciously.  - She also graciously checked in on my workload. It was one of the moments that made me remember when Christine actually felt like a great boss when I really liked workin...

Running update - 2 miles achieved!

The Monkey Bar Gym has been closed during the week because of Summerfest, which means all my krav and boxing classes have been cancelled. My muay thai instructor and I talked about doing some outdoor exercises in its place; but it was nearly 100 degrees with full sun and incredibly high humidity these past 3 days, so that was out. In fact, I went for a walk on my lunch break on Friday afternoon and felt sick for the rest of the day from the heat. I was hoping then to get some hiking, running, or rocking climbing in on Saturday or Sunday, and to make it to a krav or hot yoga class on Sunday; but none of these things worked out. The heat prevented me from being able to do any outdoor activities, and no one was able to go rock climbing with me. Saturday I went up to Baraboo with Jennifer Koss to do some hiking and swimming at Pewit's Nest, but because it was so hot, we didn't end up doing a lot of the former. But I got home so late and was so exhausted from the heat (also, my shou...
