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!
