My sister and her family sent me a bunch of loose leaf teas in the mail for my birthday. Right now it is saigon jasmine, organic. Tea makes me puke water very often it is so astringent. This one sould not be so strong: just one teaspoon for a liter of water yet it is bitter as anything. I am drinking it for the gift and the experience. Cop sirens are heard on austin right now. It had been pretty quiet on that front for a while. The birds are singing a lot and every door is open. I think that may have attracted mice behind our oven, because TumTum sits there for hours and stares. Billy does it too. Today is a marvelous day. But hubby is still on the loo. 4 hours on the loo this morning. He really has to learn to live with the new feeling and stop spending hours on the loo each morning. This is totaly impractical and I am sure unecessary. He is obessed with his bum. He has to learn to live with the hemorroids feeling without trying to do his business only for so long each morning. May he learn to adjust practically to this new situation. Om mani peme hung
