Poured this before anything else could get a word in today.
Just the teapot, a chipped mug, and about 10 minutes before the inbox started blinking again.
Corner table by the window, didn’t touch my phone once, and for once nobody needed me to be anywhere.
The pour took maybe 20 seconds but it felt like the calmest part of the whole morning.
Back’s still catching up from years at a desk, but sitting there with my spine actually straight for a bit did something.
Went back to work right after, no big transformation, just a quieter version of me at the keyboard for a while.
