It's always darkest before the dawn

Ooh tea story you just reminded me of!

I used to work as a security guard for a construction site and in the early mornings I would bring my massive gas station travel mug full of random breakfast tea with me and one morning this older construction worker stopped by my station to talk before work started (we were there around 5:30 every morning and didn't leave till after 6PM, so you know, long days and dark-

And when he found out I drank tea and liked it STRONG, he brought me whole packages of Bewley's tea that was all he'd drink because it's what he got at home in IRELAND (no idea what he was doing in backwater West Virginia doing construction work but no big deal) and it was AMAZING on cold early mornings and strong enough to pretty much stand the spoon up on end in the cup XD

And I STILL would throw the teabags in and leave them all day with a bit of heavy cream!

I don't drink anything with milk milk since our household went vegan last year, but between cashew mylk and almond mylk and COCONUT MILK, we're pretty set on the milk substitutes that are not soy milk!

Your sir sounds like my sir~ I'll have to post some pictures of him. He's a flamepoint siamese and SUPER TALKATIVE Talker Mc-Talkson, for serious. He's my baby too, so he's spoiled rotten XD

Oh, acrylics! It does not look like acrylics at all under that light but that's so neat anyhow! I could say that I paint, and if you take that to mean that I own paintbrushes, Liquitex acrylics and all that jazz and am too intimidated to do anything with them, you'd be spot on XD

I am not really an "artist" but more a "wannabe".
