So one thing I have been doing for the past week and a half is writing an offline diary. I'm just putting what happened in my day in it, and how I feel, and leaving it at that. I actually like writing a diary (which is why I liked LJ and like DW), but I've fallen off the wagon, so to speak, with regard to writing an offline one. I used to only write in them when I was angry or upset or crushing on someone or likewise, so it's kind of refreshing to be like, "well, nowt major happened, but that's okay!"

I'm actually surprised with myself that I've managed to keep it going, but I have! I've almost used up the notebook I was using (A5, 100 sheets), and most of that's just been from recent use.

This is part of the reason I have so many notebooks. Because I've written diaries since I was...approximately 11? and I assumed I would be prolific at it my entire life (because my mum was - I have Quite The Stack of her past diaries) Except that when I was younger, I didn't expect crippling depression or the internet to take these things away from me.

But if I keep writing at this pace, maybe I'll use up some of those older notebooks and so on (of which there is also Quite The Stack, especially if you include the ones that were mum's that are still unused). My next one at the moment is similar size to the one I'm using, so I don't overwhelm myself. (I rarely use A4 size books, and the one thick book I used lasted me five years and I was sick of it by the time I got to nearly the end).

I am actually kind of excited about this, as weird as that sounds.

I looked up herbal teas online, and now I have fallen down a rabbit hole, and am considering buying a tea strainer for if I ever get any loose leaf tea. I do drink them occasionally, but want a different variety than what the local supermarkets can provide for me (which, if you're mostly shopping in Lidl, as I am, isn't a whole lot).

I also learnt Rooibos isn't a type of tea like black or green tea, which is good news, as I wanted to try it. (My sister in law occasionally drinks it, and she likes black tea, so I assumed it was similar). I don't like black tea in the slightest, and wasn't taken with green tea when I tried it, and I have no idea how I feel about Rooibos, but it's worth a try!

Maybe I should do what my friend Liam does, and make a tea review when I try a new one? He has an entire twitter (and it's only for black tea), but I'd probably put them here because I know what I'm like. And I don't need another twitter account.
