Weekend Wrap-up. Tea for Two!

!BULLETIN!

Recently discovered I had a crazy herb in my Tension Tamer Tea--CATNIP!  Awnteresting!  I know how Swuvie's cat responds to catnip and wondered why it was in my "calming" tea.  So Donut (my scrabulary word for my son-in-law:  Donut = Dustin + do you want) put a teabag under the cat's nose and she sniffed, sneezed, batted at and nearly brutilated the bag.  Her response made me chickle.  So our scientific experiment proved positive--there was catnip in the tea.  Now my curiosity was peaked.  Donut went online and found the benefits of catnip for humans, i.e. relief of anxiety, insomnia, nervousness, colon cramps, a muscle relaxant and more.  

I went to my local health food store and picked up a box of catnip tea--no other ingredients.  I brought it home, put a teabag in a cup and before pouring water I about had to pluck the cat out of the cup.  She talked and talked and sniffed and basically got high.   I knew I had the right stuff.  The flavor is woodlike--not very flavorful but I did accomplish a sense of relaxation after drinking it.  So I sat back, closed my eyes to relest while the cat ran circles and meowed incessantly, looking for her next fix.  Chickle!
