Rant: Tea plus various off-topicness

I’m writing, and since I just ate, I decided to have a cup of tea. Of course, that is no real reason to have a cup of tea. Tea needs no real excuse to be had, you know. Just the two:

The presence of hot water in something, and something that can be brewed. There you have it, the only real reasons that you need to have tea.

On average I tend to drink about three to four cups a day, way down from six to seven; I haven’t been drinking as much of it as I used to because I had to start cutting back on the sugar. No real dietary reason for it, it’s just that if I have too much sugar, there’s no real way to know if I’ve gotten anything substantial into my system. So until I got some more stevia extract, I cut it back a bit. Now that I’ve got it, I’ve been able to drink tea as I should-often and sweet without as many calories. I’m up to a teaspoon today, since the extract is as strong as it is.

( Yeah, there's more. I'm insane today… )
