2.7.2025. Friday. Winter. 21st year.

Good evening, reader. Or rather, good morning would perhaps be more appropriate.

It's winter here, and very cold. The wind is fierce and the ground is covered with ice. It's a nightmare out there.

I'm curled up in my home at my desk with a cup of tea, and it's a flavor I haven't had in a while. Celestial Seasonings' Tangerine Orange Zinger.

Just the scent of it had me feeling brand new, like spring had come finally and a flower bloomed inside of me.

Dear reader, is this a shared experience? The sense that after one taste or smell of something, everything has suddenly changed for the better?

I know it's one I've had for much of my life, and it brings me comfort when I manage to encounter it again. It's always fleeting, but sweet. Gentle, like a breeze carring the scent of lilac and orange blossoms.

It's funny, this tea inspired me to work on this site again, though admittedly this is just a bunch of copy/pasting.

Maybe someday I'll come back and give this place a proper rework. Maybe.

Goodbye for now, reader, and farewell. Sleep sweetly.

end.
