In about 3 weeks, 8 years of fighting with insurance and hospitals will finally come to a close. In 4 days, the pagan new year happens and all the stirrings going on will be on full tilt. In 7 days I will begin the last year of my 30s. For about the last 3 months I've been in full introspective mode, not sure if it's helped me at all, but it's made ( Read more... )

A crow met me at Dunkin Donuts. Maybe it was a raven, but it was hanging out on the roof of, I guess, the fridge just behind the drive thru menu. We didn't have time to chat, since I thought I was running behind (but who knew I was running an hour ahead!). Today has involved much contemplation, particularly the need to socialize. It's the one thing ( Read more... )

3 Hawks circled our house this morning. With the rain subsiding, all the smaller birds returned, including a previously unseen red-mohawked woodpecker (no, he work a speckled suit, not a blue one). I also smudged the house, and am still smudging it. We had hoped to spend today finishing up the things we started yesterday, unfortunately Pastry is ( Read more... )

With my work schedule being what it is, I no longer get full days to truly be lazy. Normally, I'd have one day where I'd do nothing but sit on the couch with a face mask, hair mask, and fizzy stuff in a bath tub. Maybe go shopping. But those days are gone. I now only have one regular day off, and that is for couple time. So when I get a couple of ( Read more... )

It's becoming pretty damned obvious that I have some serious decisions to make in the coming months. My brain is overloaded with them, the universe keeps poking at me to figure out what I want to do, where I want to go. And I think I'm at the precipice of jumping off that cliff ( Read more... )

Spent the day not working on the condo. But that's ok, we'll go by tomorrow and I'll spend some time on Monday, too. We've needed to stay at the house and start to unpack. Things need to find their places ( Read more... )

I guess it's just the state of affairs these days. I look out at all the things that are happening, watching what comes out of my more vocal mouths of friends and I can't help but be disappointed. One side jumps on one thing painting with a broad brush, then the other side responds with the same broad brush. I know there are those who are standing ( Read more... )

So, apparently it's argue about everything these days. Which seems to have left me with TMJ and the sensation of being choked (lump in the throat, if you will). Which, for all my yoga friends who might be reading this, means communication issues. Yay! /sarcasm ( Read more... )

So apparently I'm going through another chapter change. I'm finding it interesting because it was pointed out the other week, when my office neighbors (a bar) tried to circumvent our landlord and offer to pay for me to move. Nice idea, but they would be on the short stick, because the landlord wouldn't go for what they'd want to do anyway. But ( Read more... )

Which is kind of unavoidable as my deck is blooming (at least one flowering plant is, the other 6 or so are still works in progress).

I've been wandering around of late, spending more time reading Fallen Leaves by Will Durant. He's one of my favourite lyrical historians so it's interesting to hear his own thoughts on what he's witnessed. A good ( Read more... )
