Day Two Hundred and Ninety-One: Pretty Cool,
The weather is changing, the term is picking up, and it
seems like the perfect time of year to invest in some very good tea. Last year I bought some delicious apple
cinnamon tea and never had any, and so I am planning on having a lot in the
coming weeks. I saw on twitter earlier
this month about how Tea is a fad now, that people are only drinking tea
because it’s cool to drink tea. I’ve
been drinking tea since I was first diagnosed when I was fourteen, and I think
that people just like tea. It’s like
trying to say that chocolate cake is a fad because everyone seems to like
that. Oh pop culture, trying to take
over the world.
I’d really like just an evening of full on cosy sweater,
tea, knitting, and a seasonal film. I’m
thinking my Halloween plans are going to be just that and watching
Ghostbusters. You can be jealous if you’re
smart, you’re also invited if you have no other plans.
I ain’t afraid of no ghosts!
I am though.
Halloween isn’t quite my thing, I mean I’ve always dressed as Sailor
Moon or a kitten or Josie (and the Pussycats) or a Christmas Elf or whatever
was lying around, but I’ve never gotten too excited about it. Ceara and I used to go as duo-costumes, like
Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne or Dumbledore and Harry Potter. We were once Orcs from Lord of the Rings… Those were highlights. I think that I gave up on Halloween the year
I was diagnosed and had my first surgery and wasn’t able to go out so I stayed
in and watched Ferris Beuller’s day off and Forrest Gump. I think I watched Independence Day around
there too. It’s miraculous the vhs’s you
find when you’re in need.
I also had Speed on vhs.
I think I will enjoy it more when I live in my own place and
can decorate and hand out candies again, I’d love to carve a pumpkin. I actually love carving pumpkins and eating
the seeds and watching Charlies Brown’s the Great Pumpkin with my family. I don’t get to do that anymore, and I really
do miss it. Growing up is hard at this
time of year.
I compensate with tea, knitting, and Netflix.
Can you blame me?
Seriously, the invitation stands.
Do you need Halloween plans?
Spend time being an old British woman with me!
