Over Afternoon Tea

Tea is not only a drink but a ritual over which people have been relaxing, talking, and catching up on each other's lives for centuries. This blog is intended to serve as a virtual cup of tea, helping me keep in touch with friends and family in my physical absence.

Feeling Five...or Seventeen

I have that old familiar feeling: I don't wanna go to bed. It's a feeling I haven't really had since my marriage. Having my husband beside me takes all the loneliness out of sleeping.

The only differences between me at five and me now are that me at five just knew I didn't want to go to bed and wasn't thinking about how I'd feel about how stupid this is tomorrow, and that me now doesn't have anybody to make me go to bed. Which I suppose means I have to make myself.
