Context: I currently have a back injury and as such my sleep schedule has been destroyed. There are days that I simply cannot get comfortable no matter where I sit/lie.

The other night I was restless and couldn’t get comfortable but was feeling tired. I wanted to brew myself a cup of tea but as luck would have it we had run out of fill-able tea bags. I pulled out the metal tea infusers and found that due to an improper cleaning at last use and who knows how long they had been sitting idle they were absolutely disgusting. Some had mold spots and one appeared to be rusting (how aluminum rusts I don’t know).

I REALLY wanted my tea so I busted out my cleaning tools and got to work. She woke up to use the restroom and heard me in the kitchen and made it a point to call me out for being weird and that no one in their right mind would be doing what I was doing.

Is that a fair assessment? I only spent about 50 minutes cleaning them.

    I don’t mean to sound rude at all, I’m just genuinely curious how it is that you can’t identify what 3am means? I’m guessing maybe English isn’t your native language, or such?

    Again, no negativity intended, I’m just really curious :-)

      English not a native language?

      My friend, it’s not even my continent.

      I’m from Europa, where we use 24h clocks. While some know am and pm, I never use it, and often get them confused.
