November Sipdown Prompt – National Stress Awareness Day
Yesterday and today have both been extremely stressful. I need more than one minute of being aware of my breath to get through this.
I think I will finish this and go to bed and hope tomorrow is better.
As for the tea – this is sweet cherry rather than tart, like Luden’s cough drops or a very particular lollipop I used to buy near Valentine’s Day but could never remember the brand and often ended up with a more lackluster type.

Was the lollipop heart shaped? If it was, I can almost taste it now.
Here’s to a less-stressful Thursday!
gmathis – I haven’t bought them in years, but I am pretty sure that Charms was not the right brand. I think they were smallish and they may have been heart shaped. I should google it!
Kelmishka – yes, please, a better day Thursday would be lovely!
Good morning ashmanra,
I hope today is a much better day for you, at least a tea-riffic beginning!
Thank you, looseTman! The day began with going to the eye doctor with Ashman for an ulcer beside his iris that was causing him pain. But we have his eye drops and got to enjoy looking around Barnes & Noble!
Somebody—how about a tea that tastes like what B&N (or any other good bookshop) smells like?
I did a big inhale when we walked in and enjoyed the aroma, even though I am not a coffee drinker and it mostly smells like coffee.
For a used bookstore, I’d go with smelling like a sheng puerh like this one https://steepster.com/teas/butiki-teas/46170-1989-suncha-blend
I’m going to have to broaden my puerh horizons. I’ll bet that smells more like the pages than the coffee, yes?
I think most sheng has a nice musty smell. If you like that sorta thing.
