This meme might be ironic, but, no joke, this is both fucking adorable and also kinda the point of life.
The little things that you like, that make your every day brighter. Just go and get them.
Honestly! I'm only in my twenties but this meme is so me rn. My fiancee and I are such homebodies with our cats lol
As a homebody I'm curious, how did you meet your fiancee?
It came with the cat.
That sounds like fun, until your cat gets pregnant and you end up with 5 fiancees
Came with, not in.
You can't rule out that each cat they care for, or are owned by, comes with its own fiancee.
We lived on the same floor in college. I was a little more outgoing as a freshman, but nowadays I simply enjoy our cozy little home.
Small pleasures like this are what I Iive for.
(Although I'm not a fan of the green tea that my Costco carries, so I don't buy my tea there.)
You better be a fan of Earl Grey, or I'm telling Miles.
Personally, I actually went and bought a coffee maker that I actually use for tea, and due to the settings on it, it's the perfect brew every time.
Whenever I want, just toss some loose tea into the top, hit the right size button for my cup and enjoy my favorite plants.
That sounds awesome. So it steeps the tea enough?
I unironically love earl grey. It's one of my favorites that I always have on hand.
It came with a few nesting pieces going from a k cup style, fine mesh for instant coffee, and a larger cup for other things I'm not certain of.
The instant coffee mesh on it makes the water stay around the tea long enough for a pretty nice brew. If you add slightly more tea than needed, you can fill a cup with ice for perfect ice tea.
Same. I usually keep a couple sealed bags for an individual cup in my pack, so If I get the chance away from home, I can have some of the good stuff.
It's gotten kind of expensive near me though, I need to find somewhere I can buy bulk loose tea.
I've been working at reducing my caffeine intake off and on for a bit. And thought I'd share a similar thing that I recently discovered. My wife got me a tea advent calendar from Adagio for the holiday and one of them was called "chicoriccino". It's a chicory-based coffee alternative with caffeine only from cocoa nibs.
Good flavor, though I'd never claim it's a "coffee replacement", just a beverage with a similar flavor category (like apples and nectarines). The big game changer for me was discovering that it brews very nicely in my overly-fancy drip machine and at the same ratios as coffee. So, I can just use my regular coffee scoop and get a nice, no-effort brew. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes coffee-like things.
Frankly, asides from supporting local business, there isn't much reason not to get tea from online specialty purveyors these days. It's not terribly expensive to ship the stuff.
What's one of the small pleasures that brighten your world?
Lately? Chess. I've been playing a little bit every day, and I find it so relaxing and calming. I use chess puzzles on my phone to put me to sleep every night.
The idea the my life is so low stress that I can enjoy simple pleasures? That's the dream.
I'd like the low-stress part.
