• *sigh*

  This could be shaping up into a no-work day for me.  Nebulizer in
  hand and a brain that feels like oatmeal in there, even after breakfast
  and the last half cup of tea left in yesterday’s pot, the most
  challenging activity I felt up to was a browse around Quizilla. 
  Not until just now did I even think about making a fresh pot of
  tea.  It’s brewing.

  Yesterday I did a record number of readings — recent record, I mean,
  for online and email readings.  Face-to-face at festivals, I’ve
  done fifty to sixty readings a day sometimes.  They require no
  time for proofreading and such.  Anyway, I did lots of work
  yesterday.  Maybe I strained my brain.

  
  What Color is Your Brain?

  You are a Ragdoll!  You are known for your laid
  back attitude.  You are the ultimate in
  low-maintenance.  You’d rather hang out around
  the house all day than seek adventure.

  The Indian snake creature known as the naga was
  believed to reside in groups apart from normal
  humans, and many legends tell of their secret
  citites hidden deep in the jungle, underground,
  or underwater. In many tales, the naga is often
  of royal lineage, or sometimes even divinity.
  Nagas are often associated with water, and it
  is said that they can control the weather.

  As a naga, you possess strong leadership abilities,
  you are highly intelligent, and you can also be
  a bit intimidating. You also enjoy the finer
  things in life and like to be pampered, and
  you’re not too keen on mixing and mingling with
  the unwashed masses.

  You take the Hard Road.

  Who doesn’t love a challenge? When life gives you lemons you
  not only make lemonade, you make lemon meringue pie to go along with it.
  When things are at their worst, you are at your best. You thrive in conflict.
  You take charge of the bad situations with no problem and people know
  that you are the one to get them through it.
  You probably have trouble accepting the help of other people,
  needing the satisfaction that you not only can, but must
  do everything yourself. This just isn’t true, it’s good to be independent
  and self-reliant as you are, but it takes an even greater amount of strength
  to admit when you need help, and sometimes even you need help.

  ~The O.J Murder Trial~
  As Told By Dr.Seuss

  I did not kill my lovely wife.
  I did not slash her with a knife.
  I did not bonk her on the head.
  I did not know that she was dead.
  I stayed at home that fateful night.
  I took a cab, then took a flight.
  The bag I had was just for me.
  My bag! My bag! Hey, leave it be.
  When I came home I had a gash.
  My hand was cut from broken glass.
  I cut my hand on broken glass.
  A broken glass did cause that gash.
  I have nothing, nothing to hide.
  My friend, he took me for a ride.
  Did you take this person’s life?
  Did you do it with a knife?
  I did not do it with a knife.
  I did not, could not kill my wife.
  I did not do this awful crime.
  I could not, would not anytime.
  Did you hit her from above?
  Did you drop this bloody glove?
  I did not hit her from above.
  I cannot even wear that glove.
  I did not do it with a knife.
  I did not, could not kill my wife.
  I did not do this awful crime.
  I could not, would not, anytime.
  And now I’m free, I can return
  To my house for which I yearn.
  And to my family whom I love.
  Hey now I’m free — Give back my glove!!

  I’ve got the BEST tea blend ever now.  I use roasted maté, a pinch
  of Pu Erh black tea, some broken up bits of stick cinnamon, a pinch of
  stevia leaves for sweetness, toss it all in a filter on the drip
  coffeemaker, and push the button.   I love it, but why does
  the best stuff have to be so expensive?  [I know, I know.  No
  economics lectures please; that question was rhetorical.]   In
  flavor, and in cost, Pu Erh is not at all in the same category as the
  economy tea I grew up on.  I wonder if Mama ever even tasted tea
  like this?
