02/17/12 Blisters

So for once I'm going to post my blog entry on time! MUAHAHAHAHA!

Which isn't to say that I've never done it on time in the past. Nor is it to say that I have been scheming a horrible plan to type something last minute and actually seem like I'm doing something productive with my blogging endeavors.

Anyway the title of my blog entry tonight is about the hideous bubbles of skin and fluid that have appeared on the backs of my feet. For you see the continued friction from wearing improperly sized shoes (I have wide feet and as such can't fit into shoes that are normally designated for my feet; oh and my right foot is 1/2 size larger than my left. Which accordingly causes me much discomfort as I attempt to settle issues as well as concede my mind's situations.

But yeah I'll probably just pop them, carefully rip the excess skin off, neosporan and pop a skin fitting bandaid on it. After which, I can only hope for the best... Right?

On an unrelated note, found my $2 bag of lavender again. Yes indeed I bought a small bag of the stuff way back in the day... Like seriously way back if it was only $2.00... Anyway lovely floral aroma with hints of sweetness and what I must assume is the dried nectar within the buds.

I mixed a small spoonful with some of Teavana's Dragonwell tea (not that pricey but still more than I would have otherwise paid for it). The resulting mixture was quite delicious. A lovely smoked amber color, scented of lavender flowers, with an afternote of something a bit earthy. Anyway I've noted that I enjoyed the 3rd pot of tea the most.

The flavor of this mix can be described as tolerably bitter with an enjoyable sweetness from the flowers. The after taste didn't linger long. To mainly note the flavor of the tea leaves is most pronounced after letting the tea sit on one's tongue for a few minutes, the microflavors and soft delicate textures from within the tea must be allowed to seep out of leaves in order to give a true flavor.

That being said the first pot of tea should be disposed of. While safe to drink this pot has the dust particles that have collected on the outside of the leaves and petals of the flowers.

The second pot has had time to soften the ingredients and it should be noted that the flavor is quite delicious at this time when the flavor of the tea leaves should be strongest. It's only in the third pot however that the volatile oils within the lavendar have had enough times to brew and infuse the tea. Mmm, just thinking of it makes me wish I had another pot going but sadly this past the righteous hour to have a good cup of tea. It's not sensible to infuse oneself with such a brew mixture at the present.

Calming and delicious hm... So I guess this post really isn't about blisters anymore since I seem to be significantly more interested in tea...
