Take it easy with Green Tea

Let’s take it easy today, huh. This past week has been a bit morose here; I’ve gone to a memorial service and discovered one of my cats has severe heart disease (she’s now on hospice care at home, which means around the clock supervision and medicine 5xs a day). That means not only have I not really been up to baking, but I also haven’t had much time. I’ve been trying to stay positive and maintain my calmness, so I thought tea was appropriate.
