Thank you (x5) u/Intrepid-Researcher

Where do I even start! Of course as you know, I got your card ages ago. A lot has happened since. 7 people from my team of formerly 17 have quit in the last 3 months and we are pretty much working on a skeleton crew keeping an immense operation trucking along. I've been under immense stress trying to keep things together work wise and whatever little escapes I've had - cards, creative escapes or mindless scrolling, I've been there.

So you know, when bundles of joy like the one when you send come around, it keeps on giving - I'm sure you can see the first tea packet has already been ripped open in the picture and the second I am having right now as I write this thank you. From the stickers to the thoughtful choice of cards (from Arctic Norway, to trolls framed in fantastical blue and bronze border, and a bouquet of flowers in card form!) and of course the main card filled with jellyfish and zooplankton of all sorts, warming my lil science-loving heart!

I hope you've been seeing better weather where you are lately! You were asking which museum the exhibition I mentioned in my last card was staged in - it's the ArtScience Museum on the bay! Big white building in the shape of an abstract lotus, you can't miss it :)

Thank you for the little playlist (I listened to it while I wrote this too) and together with the tea it's like spending a little time with you. It would be nice to meet if you came over to Singapore one day and enjoy some actual tea together!

And of course saving the best and most personal touch for last, your gorgeous drawing of chess having a big ol stretch in the most unconventional way, as is befitting of the curious creatures that are cheshire cats. I'm going to stick this up in my cubicle at work to have something fun to look at while I'm wading through this mire.

Thank you friend, more than you know! <3
