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.

A proclivity to dizziness + not eating before Liturgy + a heavy load in the censer = baby

"Are you all right?" one of the choir members asked me after one such dizzy spell.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said a little crossly. It is particularly frustrating to be smitten with dizzy spells in Church, when you'd most like to stand, and to become a sudden object of pity and attention and disruption. "I guess I didn't eat enough dinner last night."
His merry, knowing eyes looked even more merry and knowing. "You know, rumors are going to start circulating if you keep this sort of thing up."
"I wish I could agree with them," I said fervently.
He laughed and went off, hopefully to put a crimp in the grape-vine.
So just to make it clear, in the hopes of stopping a few rumor mills which friends have assured me are running, I AM NOT PREGNANT. I wish I were. I want a baby. But I don't have one. Hopefully in a year or two I will be posting to say otherwise. But right now there are college loans and a job and very, very definitely no baby.
But censers are just as good at producing morning sickness.
