Good things

I have returned from my vacation and my brain's sporadic interpretation of the ground swaying like the boat on the ocean to inform you, my dear readers, that I have discovered really good mint green tea today, totally by accident, when Lucy and I were recovering from Comic-Con by the way of lunch. It came from a plastic bottle. It shouldn't be this good. It was. It also read, on its packaging:

We found this great flavor while traveling through Morocco on bicycles. Our folks weren't very excited about the semester of class we missed, but at least we came home with the most delicious tea recipe ever...and a couple of kilim rugs for our college apartment.

...we are still inspired by Clayton's granny, "Mimi," who taught us never to use ingredients we can't pronounce. We hope you have as much fun drinking our tea as we have making it.

It's called "Sweet Leaf green tea", mint and honey flavor. If you like mint-flavored things or tea flavored things even remotely I'd highly recommend it!

So this topped off a day where I stopped by the Peanuts booth when they were doing signings and Vicki Scott drew Marcie for me. Which topped a weekend where Lucy came over. Which topped off a week of vacation. 

...at which point I said, screw it, it's late on a Sunday and I'm not going into lab. One more day will not make that much of a difference to the overall progress of my work but it will make a lot of difference on my happiness this month, when I look back on it, years from now because, right now? I find myself almost bewilderingly happy with Life, the Universe and everything. 

(My God, what is in that tea?)
