jazzfishWaking up at five in the morning and not being able to get back to sleep: bad.
Having a real cup of tea at 6:15 after giving up on sleeping: very good.
Using the extra forty-five minutes to get some writing done: pretty decent.
Coming to work and being unpleasantly confronted with how awful the tea here actually is: extraordinarily bad.
I mean, seriously. I'm brewing a large mug of tea with a single teabag and using water that's not quite boiling. (I do microwave it after running it into the cup, but that doesn't help enough.) I knew that it wasn't very good tea to start with. But compared with the strong cup of keemun hao-ya a I made this morning . . .
LUCY: This is awful! It tastes like you put a brown crayon in some hot water!
LINUS: You're right. I'm sorry. I'll go add another crayon.
