A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

About to have some tea.

I bought a tea infuser (plastic) and cup lid today.  I couldn't pass it up, it is a strawberry.  Makes me smile and want to buy some loose tea.

  Me too.  Unwisely.  At 10:42 p.m.  This will end badly.  :lemur:

I should get a strainer like that.

I like my teas, built up quite a stash collection by now, with my absolute favourites being a delicate white tea, and lady grey, but made with a freshly made hot decoction of lemon balm (Melissa officianalis), which gives it even more of a wonderful citrusy flavor, whilst applying the principle of 'better living through chemistry' and it takes off the edge from the caffeine, as it contains some compounds that inhibit GABA-transaminase. Plus some nicotinic ACh receptor modulators that are thought to improve memory.

Not so fond of earl grey or green tea although I do have some loose green tea I don't drink much of that, but the white tea, now THAT I could pig out too much on, I've noticed its always the first to go and need replacing.

Not that I can swallow right now though. Will manage to get my most important meds down me when I pick up a refill this morning but most of the rest I'll likely drop for now, and the morphia/oxycodone pair will get IVed anyway to bypass the throat.

IIRC he posted a bit back about having problems with swallowing.  Was going to see about some tests?

Yeah I have to go for some X-rays, ultrasound, bloodwork and possibly a scope down the neck, although that as yet hasn't been ordered/booked.

Have had terrible, terrible acid reflux, repeated and persistent SEVERE vomiting, to the point where sometimes I cannot eat or drink, and have to either inject meds or take them dissolved in solution and squirted up the tradesmen's doorway with a needle-less rig.

Also I drank some absinthe the other week, it numbs the mouth, tongue and throat and is very easy to drink, little burn, but I hadn't counted on its being 75% EtOH, that roughed my throat up too,  although today I've had some relief from a bottle of codeine and chloroform cough linctus, plus lots and lots of orange ice-pops as well as taking my drinks with generous helpings of ice from the several huge bags of ice I've been using for cooling my lab rxns where needed using ice/salt/methanol/calcium chloride cryogenic baths. Got lots leftover so can afford to really fill up my cups of drinks full to bursting with leftover ice, now I don't need to bugger about wrestling ice cubes out of the ice cube trays in the freezer, just whack a bag full with a hammer and ladle it out in big chunks.

^ That is what Kayleigh does. She has an ice drawer in the freezer and buys bags of ice to put in it. Have to whack at it with a hammer sometimes as it all sticks together but she does enjoy her cups full of ice and water.
