I am still sick, but I am getting better. Last night I had nightmares almost the entire night. Unfortunately, I passed the virus to Gabe too, so now he is sick as well. Next time I go to the city, I will do my best to avoid getting sick. I will get an N95 mask and clean my hands more often.

But my day hasn't been only about being sick. I was also excited to receive the ingredients for my first tea blend. The ingredients arrived in small plastic bags, so I transferred them into glass jars to store them better and keep them fresh for longer. I labeled each jar, and I really enjoyed the whole process. I felt completely in the flow 🙂

Then I made my first tea blend using lavender, oat milky heads, honeybush, rosehip, lemongrass, fennel, dried berries, ginger, nettle leaf, and lime zest. It tasted so good! That made me even more excited.

Tomorrow I will try another blend. But today, I need to take care of my sick man with whom I share not only my heart, but my viruses too!

Talk later 🙂
