a brief interlude

1. Fastest cold ever. Sleeping late two days in a row, and taking yesterday off from work, seems to have done wonders. (I woke up yesterday thinking "I feel alright, I guess I can go in to work . . . oh, it's ten o'clock. Never mind.") My natural defences have rallied and forced back the invaders of congestion, so that said invaders' territory has been reduced to the end of my nose. They still make occasional forays into my throat, but I expect that by tomorrow or Satyrday they will all be driven into the sea.

2. Which is good, because work is busy and this weekend looks to be even more so. Silver Springx2, ABG perhaps, and cracking the whip over my laundry minions.

3. However! My reward teapot (dark green) arrived on Tuesday and was waiting patiently for me when I got home. It is the cutest teapot I have ever seen. It reminds me of nothing so much as the sugar bowl from Disney's _Sword in the Stone_, despite being entirely the wrong color and almost entirely the wrong shape.

4. Speaking of which, at Technicon uilos shared some Assam candies that tasted almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. It's good to finally know what that tastes like.

5. And papersky points to a beautiful poem by Yoon Ha Lee.

Your cute little teapot has attitude. It needs a name.

Perhaps. But I actually have /no/ ideas at all.

I need sleep. I read that as candles and thought "why would he eat tea candles?"
