I own a lot of teacups and mugs- that’s a fact. Do I have to stack them to shut the cabinet door? Yes, yes I do. Does this stop me from buying a teacup or mug as a souvenir from anywhere I go?
Only slightly.
Each morning the first thing I do is make a pot of tea and pick out my cuppa for the day (I average a daily 3-4 cups of tea a day). With so many to choose from I realized recently that I was picking my tea mug based on what I wished my day to be like or representing my mood when I woke up.
So here are my choices for this week
(Read into them what you like)
Sunday with Yorkshire Gold Tea
This has been my Sunday teacup for the past few years. Nothing like a little good luck for the week ahead.
Monday with P&G Tea
When I woke up I realized I had been dreaming about explaining the plot of “Alls Well That Ends Well” to co-workers in a dream and decided I might need a little London at my waking work that day.
Tuesday with P&G
Tuesday is the hardest day to get up. This morning I needed a little help from Tall Paul and the Gemini Giant, old roadside attractions we saw during a road trip to Chicago during March. Nothing like vacation longing on a weekday.
Wednesday with P&G (apparently my go-to-weekday tea).
I picked my bluebird mug because I woke up feeling hopeful and calm (plus all the snow is supposed to melt today).
Thursday with P&G
Woke up trying to decide if I was going to try and visit my grandparents and Aunt this weekend in Boonville. If I read the mug signs right, they seem to point to yes.
Friday with P&g
Friday felt like a good day for a little happy ever after.
Saturday with Yorkshire Gold.
On my way to Grandmother’s house with a Time Lord by my side!
