I loaned Heather my herbs/spices book that I got for Christmas from the other Erin Doyle, and we got to talking about teas and tisanes and all that jazz, and I pointed her to Adagio, which is where I point everyone interested in teas beyond Lipton and Ian’s Nastea, and I got to playing around on their site some more and started getting all tea-thirsty. I might have to fix myself a few cups when I get home. Some of the more pungeant ones, Ian’s not a big fan of being around, but since he’ll be gone, no harm no foul. 🙂

It is odd knowing that I’m going to see very little of the husband the next couple days. When I walk to and from work, I get there around five. He has to leave around five-thirty or so to get to work at six. Then he’s gone until about six-thirty, and I get up and leave to come to work at about seven-fifteen. Of course, his schedule is four on, four off, so I’ll see him more on the off days, and come July when I’m not working at all, I’ll see him a lot on his off days and some on his on days. In August, my schedule will be much different so I’ll still see him a bunch. It’s really just this week and next that it’ll be odd.

I need to remember to call LGT tonight. Simon’s coming up in the first part of July, and I missed calling home to wish Mom a happy birthday and wish Dad a happy father’s day. So, happy birthday, Mom, and happy father’s day, Dad. 😀 Maybe I’ll call while I’m doing dishes or picking up the living room or putting laundry away. I really have a ton of chores to do around the house, but yesterday’s allergy medicine knocked me out almost all night. And there’s always the weekend. 😉

I’ve decided that in July, in order to keep walking a lot for exercise, I’m going to try and make it a point to walk to the library once a day to get either a book or a movie. Then I’ll either read the book or watch the movie later that day while on the elliptical. I think it sounds kind of like a plan. It’s really the only way I’m going to lose weight, after all. I just need to exercise all day long if I’m going to see any progress. I hate this bouncing between 205 and 195. Stupid weight. Maybe next spring I’ll sign up for one of those one-hour PE classes. I don’t really want to do it this fall because I don’t know how crazy my schedule’s going to be. We’ll see.

I’ve got an hour of work left. I think I’ll hit the head then play some more NetHack. I’ve got my barbarian down to level 13 of the dungeon, so I’m hoping to get another level or two in there without much more dying. Maybe while I’m hack-and-slashing, I’ll think of another TKT topic. Have a good afternoon, all y’all.
