cleanliness and my favorite penguin

rootofnewti realized after boy left for the Terminal Ready show that I was too out of it to safely take a shower alone in the house, so i waited up for him. i'm about zombified now, but i'm clean. CLEAN.
it feels good.
i'm going to finish my cocoa (some meds have to be taken with food, i suppose milk counts, even if i don't really digest it that well) and go to bed.
and can i just say that the side effect of HICCUPS is the most annoying "harmless" one I've encountered? it was torture the last few days when i had the chest pain, now it's just a twinge, but it won't go away. i need to look at the paperwork and see if anything besides the diazepam is causing them. it's crazy and near constant.
and there's only one sure-fire cure for my hiccups (other than time)--drinking from the opposite side of a glass while leaning all the way forward. it's easier now that it doesn't hurt so much, but it's barely working.

klwalton: Peach Oo-la-long.
I bought it today to quell a bout of hiccups (was being bad and went into a store (didn't touch stuff or people) to ask boy to get a couple things... I'm keeping the bottle. I'll fill it with beads or sand or something pretty.
An Opus of Your Own
In keeping with the playful taste combination of Peach Oo-la-long, the bottled tea label features America's favorite penguin, Opus, from the Bloom County comic strip. Berkeley Breathed, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist and creator of the strip, is both one of Honest Tea's earliest customers and an investor in the company. "There will never be a penguin as beloved, innocent, offbeat and hilarious as Opus," said Seth Goldman, President and TeaEO of Honest Tea. "We are delighted to have him front and center on our newest addition and hope our customers can take as much pleasure in the taste, name and character behind Peach Oo-la-long as we had creating it," added Goldman. Opus appeared in the syndicated cartoon strip, Bloom County, nationwide from1980 to 1995.
slightly better picture of the front
And the back label has an amusing anecdote. I liked the tea. Most of the Honest Tea line is too diluted for me--I like strong tea and sweet teas. boy enjoys the subtleties of Honest Tea and will buy them when we're travelling (the very low sugar is of appeal to him, too). This one, though. It's worth it... And it has OPUS!!!!
If Honest Tea isn't sold where you are, I can see if your visitor this weekss is willing to bring you a bottle. I want to pick up another for myself, anyhow. If I use sand or beads, I can use them as bookends, especially if I glue felt or silicone mat to the bottom. I know it's a Maryland company, but I don't know if it's nation-wide. The bottles are glass, but not terribly large, so perhaps it wouldn't be a problem if she has room in her carry-on (packed in a sock and a ziplock bag).
Yay! Now boy is clean. I shall start a load of wash... or maybe not. We'll just go sleep. Oh, i must drink my last quarter cup of cocoa. and take out my contacts. doh!
