Jayvie is many things:

I'm a Maryland resident. A self-avowed WordPress Whisperer, I use it in all my projects. I take lovely photos, go to the gym a lot, and opine strongly over design, aesthetics, and politics. I'm a heavy Twitter user, a moderate Flickr participant and in my spare time I help people at the SemperFi WP Support forums. Read more about me.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

There has been barely anything to say the past few weeks, only that life is good, dear friends.

Tea and withdrawal therapy

For at least two years I’ve been in a trench war with smoking. I’d be without for a few months, “something” would “happen” and I’d pick up the habit, and then I’d fight it again for quite a bit… Wash, rinse, repeat. Come to think of it, this vicious cycle might be worse for my lungs than if I were a consistent smoker.

Lately though, I have been doing better, and I’ve had the best of help from loose-leaf green tea. I buy mine from Teavana at the Mall in Columbia, in half-pound quantities every two weeks. For forty dollars a month for very good tea, it has the cost of smoking beat.

After experimenting around with different mixtures of rooibos and other herbal teas, I’ve gone back to good ol’ green tea, Japanese sencha, to be exact, which is less pungent than Chinese varieties of green tea. Now that the fall is getting a bit harsher, tea has been a source of great comfort and stress relief.

Did I mention I’m quite ambulatory now?

Five weeks in a nutshell:

September 29 I got me a car.

October 12 I got me a license.

1300 miles later I’m dusting off my blog for a sec to say I’m having a hell of a time away from the computer.
