Hi baby, On most days it’s enough just knowing you’re out there – doing what you do, smelling like you smell, tasting like you taste. On most days. But on some days, I miss you so much it’s unbearable. Sometimes I’m soothed reading old notes and remembering minutes spent together. On occasion, though, not even …
This week’s Tuesday seminar tea was Cookie. Great seminar, lovely tea, and I’m really, really busy right now. I miss you, tea reviews! I miss you, tea! Kbye.
