When all else fails, look up!

My new favorite tea is this organic jasmine green tea, and about halfway through the box, I realized there was a motivational statement on the tag of each teabag. The subject line is the current cup's sentiment. It's so far the cheesiest.

I'm doing better -- not fabulous, but better. Less coughing. Still achey. I took a hot bath which made me feel worse, actually, but at least now I'm not as sticky and stinky (from the multiple daily application of metholated vapor rub). Thank you for nice comments and well wishes. I re-visited my wonderful Sims family on playstation, which helped pass the time on the couch very quickly. Thank you, mintwaster, for letting me kick your a$$ in scrabble, er, Literati, which perked me up. Thank you, keetbabe for loaning me Persepolis 2 which I read in it's entirety yesterday and loved every page and was so sad it was over and I didn't have more beautiful unread comics on hand. Thank you, thebrownhornet for suggesting the RjD2 album which I promptly downloaded and listened to while taking a bath and also inspired me to actually *gasp* do some work on my paper a.k.a. the elephant in the room of my brain.
