Most of the stress has now been relieved...yesterday was the last day of the semester; all the exams and essays have been read and graded, paperwork turned in to the registrar, my desk pretty much cleared off, and I've got a little over 2 weeks to rest, recuperate, and drink lots of tea!

All presents are bought, all cards are mailed off, only two family gatherings to attend...

Just fixed a pot of ginger peach tea. Aaaahhh.....

I don't stress. Shopping is basically done. House was decorated over the last couple of weekends. We do have and have had a few parties but no real stress of making time for "too many" activities. I do have to work Friday, 12/26/08, and that's a bit of a bummer - but I took Friday after Thanksgiving off and need to share the holidays with co-workers. :D

I started this morning with Lover's Leap Pekoe. Shifted to a berry tisane this afternoon/evening.

Oh so you ordered oolong too?

Nono he said the good stuff.
Missed this yesterday. Thanks for getting my back, Pentox! I should have made it clearer. Perhaps I should have said, knee deep in the most excellent leaf! :idea: :wink:

I've taken to Scotch on the rocks lately, but as you may have noticed....on the rocks! Ugh, the thought of mixing tea w/alcohol IMHO, is not a happy one! Tea is still my #1 drink and can't go without it! Happy Holidays!
