The tea-nundrum

This article was published on May 1, 2019 and may be out of date. To maintain our historical record, The Cascade does not update or remove outdated articles.

The biggest decision of my night is in front of my tea cupboard. (Yes, an entire cupboard. I have a problem, OK?) The back burner tasks are becoming front burner tasks, and the front burners are all full and simmering menacingly. If I reach for my blueberry zinger, I’m calling it a night; all my pressing issues become early morning Jessica’s problems. A green means I’ve got a bit more work to get done, but I’ll make it to bed at a good hour. Black teas and me have a stellar agreement. I don’t drink them unless I need to stay up forever and they sit happily in the back of my cupboard until I’m an all-nighter procrastinating catastrophe.

Tonight, the stack of assignments is becoming a metaphorical mountain, and its shadow is looming dark and gloomy over my teacup. There are three Earl Grey tea bags in there, ‘cause it’s going to be a night. Maybe I should just switch to coffee.
