Running late today. Red Masala Chai - simply devine! www.fridaytea.com/products/red...

A mug of red tea steeps on a white marbled counter. A brown paper packet with the number 2 is ripped open next to the mug.

Starting this year’s Tea Advent Calendar (decaf edition) off strong with my personal favorite, Maple Houjicha from @fridaytea.com (mug by @longdogdice.com)

Yes, I’ll likely post an update daily this year. Feel free to mute this thread if tea is not your jam

A green box with a green dragon sipping tea is in the background. The box says Friday Afternoon Tea above the dragon and 2025 Tea Advent Calendar Decaffeinated - Pyramid Bag below.

In front of the box on the right is a brown square paper package with the number 1 stamped in black. The top has been ripped open.

In front of the box on the left, a white mug has a teabag steeping in it. The mug has a blue D20 dice with an open book in front of it with a purple banner saying “Lore Whore”. There are purple blossoms under the book.

I had to help my beloved Porkchop make her way over the rainbow bridge today. I am just gutted. Hug your pets for me.

A smiling black brindle bulldog with a gray face, chest and legs sits on a turquoise couch, looking at the camera with her tongue hanging out like she’s smiling.

The same brindle bulldog laying on a beige carpet is rudely woken up by me, a middle aged gray haired white lady in a red flannel shirt who is laying behind the dog.

Yes I’m aware that I’m behind on my decaf tea advent calendar from @fridaytea.com but I am so excited for Day 11 - Punkin Pie Rooibos!!! (Behind due to work travel and my local post office being overwhelmed)

A yellow mug sits on a white countertop. A blue Loch Ness monster tea ball is sitting in a reddish liquid, steeping tea. A green box of tea with a dragon icon is in the background.

It’s snowing! #Minnesota

I love my purple dice box from @staffandbranch.bsky.social (dice by @longdogdice.bsky.social )

A light wood and purple resin dice box with glittery foil and glitter inclusions sits on top of a dark wood table. The lid is split in two, opened revealing a gray felt bottom and two sets of sparkly dice inside.

I remember being so excited when I was finally able to join - I was so desperate to get off the 🐦 hell site. Glad to see this place getting more people!

Porkchop sends her love 💕

A very old brindle English/French bulldog mix with a gray head, chest, and legs sits on a teal couch, tongue out as if smiling. Her ears are perked up.

Guess who’s 14 years old and baffles the veterinarian as to how healthy she is for her breed?

A black English/French bulldog mix with a white face a chest sits on a teal couch. She is panting with her pink tongue out and it looks like she’s smiling.
