I've been feeling rather stressed this evening (a confluence of things, I think), and was about to go get some ice cream when I realized that no, another cup of my tangerine tisane was more appealing. It's good ice cream, too: but it will still be good tomorrow.

Sleep soon. Weights tomorrow.

Indeed, a tisane (or even a cuppa plebleian Earl Grey) is for an Autumn evening. It _is_ Autumn there, isn't it? And ice-cream (but not sherbet, and not a really large amount) is for a warm early-Autumn afternoon, yes. (A small glass of Italian Marsala goes nicely on a Southern-California October 4th evening, also.. perhaps even two glasses (they're small), to help me get back on an Up Early schedule, & thus avoid fighting heavy freeway traffic for an early-morning appointment at UCLA on Friday.)

I think it may be autumn this morning; it was feeling summery yesterday (high in the mid-80s F, sunny, and humid) despite the red leaves here and there.

Ice cream is for almost any time of year: something I believed even before I started dating a Bostonian (they eat ice cream while walking through falling snow), but I was feeling congested, so I wanted the hot liquid.

Tea, and tisanes, are also for just about any time of year. It's not that black tea is plebeian, it's that caffeine at bedtime isn't a great idea. I have golden Assam next to me right now; I'm not an Early Grey fan, but the canister next to the Assam contains a vanilla-scented tea, and there's some apricot here that I drink once in a while.
