Am weirdly headachy. Not the tight-band of a tension headache, nor the piercing behind-the-eye of a migraine. The pressure point in the web of the hand doesn't help.
Maybe I'm just dehydrated. I've polished off both the container of iced tea and the jug of herbal tea I had in the fridge. I just made another pitcher of iced tea; I'll have some more as soon as it cools, and some lemon water in the meantime. I can't make another pitcher of iced tisane until the dishwasher is done - I only had one clean pitcher, and I wanted cold caffeine made up just in case this turns out to be a migraine with an odd start.

Speaking of iced tisanes, I've been experimenting with some of Rishi's organic iced tea/iced herbal tea blends. Their plain tea - they call it Pure - has an odd grassy note, which I'm not so very fond of. And the blend they call Classic is an Earl Grey Lite sort of blend, with bergamot. As I've noted before, I can't stand iced Earl Grey; I haven't tried a Lady Grey/Empress Grey sort of blend iced, but I suspect it wouldn't be very high on my list either. So I haven't bought any of that yet. But I very much enjoyed their Honey Plum blend - it's a combination of rooibos, hibiscus, honeybush, and a few other things. The one complaint I had with it was that after a couple of days in the fridge, the last few cups had a faint smell of fruit just starting to turn bad. I'm going to try their Peach Rooibos next. I note, with some amusement, that it also has hibiscus in it, so the first two ingerdients are the same in both blends, just in reverse order. Fortunately, I like the combination of rooibos, honeybush, and hibiscus, so I don't mind too much.
