Friday night
This is going to be just a personal post- no tea review tonight- although I did get my sample packet from Teavivre today so I'll be reviewing several of their teas over the next week or so.
One of the fun developments since the first of the year is that my insurance (through work) has decided to put a rider on anyone who smokes or uses tobacco... to the tune of $125 a month. Um- what?!? Let me do the math here... with the inflated price of cigarettes added to that it works out to over $3000 a year for smoking. I really really don't get paid that much. The catch is, if you sign up for the smoking cessation program, they will refund everything you've paid in surcharges- as long as you quit. So I'm going to have to quit now- I can't afford it anymore.
So I want to? Sure- I'd like to quit smoking. But if it was easy, I'd have done it already! It's a highly addictive drug and I'm not looking forward to the withdrawal... which will be worse on the people around me than it will be for me- I have a tendency to get nasty and snarky. Plus I feel like I'm being pushed and nothing makes me dig in my heels worse than being shoved into something.
