Cereal and Tea (It's Tuesday!)

Were it not for Tea Tuesday, you might not hear from me at all.

 

Every morning, as soon as my kids get on the school bus, I boot up my computer and start my work day. My office is in the kitchen. At the breakfast bar.

I have decided to treat my etsy shop like a part time job instead of a hobby and the sales show it. First it was to reduce clutter

(we plan to move in the next month or so and I don't want to take it ALL with me),

but now it's just the joy of running my dream shop.

I am adding new items daily during the week, when I have the house to myself and no demands on my time; and on weekends I answer emails and track sales.

 

But today, as I eat my mad scientist mixture of Raisin Bran and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereals (trying to finish off the dregs in opened boxes), I am reminded of my breakfast a few days ago when there wasn't milk handy for cereal.

   I had already poured the cereal in a bowl, before I remembered that we were missing the key ingredient. *groan* I hate when that happens! But no matter. I had hot tea made. Plain, black tea. I poured some over my cereal and voila! A hot breakfast! I didn't miss the milk too much and the raisins in the Raisin Bran plumped up from the hot liquid.

I wouldn't want to eat cereal with tea exclusively now, but in a pinch, it works.
I've read that "Inspiration is the mother of invention".
I say it's that, and the occasional lack of milk in the house.
