Chocolates 'n Tea before bedtime

A box of Belgian pralines had been staring at me from a basket(as much as I had been staring at it) over the past 3 weeks or more.

Finally, after seeing a discarded ice-cream wrapper in the wastebasket and guessing it was my diabetic dad indulging his sweet tooth come hell or high water, I decided to throw caution to the wind, the notion of my being in a much less perilous condition than he strong in my mind, and grabbed the white square box.

To dilute the sugary effects of the chocolates, I made a large cup of breakfast tea(no milk or sugar) and headed upstairs to my bedroom.

These couple of days have been pretty blue for me due to postponed payment by a tutee who, before the Lunar New Year, had been very prompt, but whose parents seem to be dragging their feet in the year of the Tiger.

I enjoyed four morsels of the Belgian chocolates while watching a couple of 'Golden Girls' episodes.

I slept relatively well.
