mother of water
Skye this morning. On my writing journal. When I am at my painting/writing table she is the one in my face. When I am over at the computer, sitting on my bed, then it is Milo in my face. I love them and don't want to be mean but it can get bothersome. Especially Milo wanting to bump my hand (rub it with his face) constantly as I type or use the mouse - like right now.
Yesterday seemed like a wasted day. It was a beautiful day and I wanted to hike or bike or do something big but Dave wanted to work on my car. He thinks he might have finally figured out what was wrong with the power steering. I hope this is the end of it. I did go with him and Andy to the auto parts store. Sat in the parking lot in the truck and watched hundreds (?) of motorcycles go by. It was a day of motorcyclists having outings. I sat outside a lot beside the chicken coop under my new umbrella and let the chickens out in the yard with me. Crocheted while sitting there. Dot (the chicken) is acting very timid and would barely get 20 feet from the coop while the other chickens ranged far over to the house - they spent a lot of time exploring the back porch. Dot stayed close to me and the coop. She would go towards the others and then suddenly run back into the coop again. I hope she's not sick. Dave and I walked Andy down to the creek in the evening.
Mother of Water means to me to be kind today. To flow. To be open to possibilities. Other good thoughts to remember today: judge others by their best actions, rather than their worst actions.
I ate too much leftover birthday cake yesterday. I'm a person who will eat what is sitting on the counter - or I will find something else easy to eat. There is that stupid birthday cake sitting there. Today - no cake! Let it rot. Not worth feeling (slightly) sick again today.
To do:
Wedding book - I got the photos I want to use in it approved by Chloe on Sunday.
Make Mike's wedding ring - very simple hammered finish.
Soon - start making the ceramic and glass mosaic for behind Chloe and Mike's sink. That is exciting to me - and while doing it I want to work on other clay relief figures for small mosaics I envision. That should be fun.
