Reading at a tea shop. I picked this book because it was recommended reading in preparation for the Trump presidency round two.

I’ve previously listened to Masha Gessen’s book on Putin, The Faceless Man, and their work is always so engrossing. I immediately feel my energy rising when I read them.

A note on the tea. I gave up drinking caffeinated coffee because I’m a migraineur and caffeine is a known migraine trigger, so now I drink mostly non caffeinated teas.

One of my favorites is soba cha that comes from this specific store in Green Point: Kettl. We ran out at home, so had to make a soba cha run and made a day of it out here.

My covid infection has progressed to the intensity of a mild cold or flu. I have muscle aches, and my sinuses are now involved. Housemates have managed to get paxlovid for themselves through their insurance, but it might be more difficult for me to procure some. My plan for today is to drink black tea with honey and lemon and continue to read The Two Towers.

Needed the serious wakeup juice today so I could read the Poetic Edda. I'm drinking hot Ty-Phoo even though it's hot as Ty-Ph*ck outside (108°F/40°C).
