hoping the mango lasts through Thanksgiving

Recent comfort foods:

• Lotus tea (Tazo goodness)
• Jasmine Pearl tea (so much better than just loose jasmine because they unfurl!)
• Chocolate mousse (maybe a bit too rich. I didn't use enough cream. And really, plain chocolate chips rather than fancy ones would be fine. I think. 60% caco is too much.)
• Dried Mango
• Mixed nuts, unsalted
• Cheese-nips
• Milk
• Homemade pizza
• Scrambled eggs

I'm glad I stocked up the last time I was in a city with a co-op.

Battling the depression. There's a reason they tell you to get your support network in order before you start teaching. Thanks to everyone who listens to me gripe when I need it and who distracts me with thoughts of their lives when I need that escape. Gossip updates are amazing. Updates about the potential for gossip are even better. (Then I can ponder my advice.)

Lots of hugs to all who are comfortable receiving them.
