Restored. I had a tired-hangover today. No drinking involved, just the after effects of taking on too much yesterday. So, I dressed, tramped through the snow, and I spent the afternoon at my favorite coffee shop. No computer, no dissertation chapter  or scholarly reading material. Instead, me a large pot of Citron tea (with 2 refill options) and three pleasure reading books including the Best Food Writing 2008. It was luverly. 

Several hours later and I felt fully restored. Light. Lifted. Joyous. 

What a difference a play-day and a good cup of tea make.
