Weird But Good Weekend
My weekend, which started out not-so-great on Friday evening, got better, but overall was decidedly odd, even for me.
The Ex's wife picked up Wolfling on Saturday morning. I lazed around for a while, took a shower, and then headed out to my therapy appointment. I'm usually good at actually looking at my calendar (on my gadget), but Saturday I went all morning thinking my appointment was at noon rather than noon-thirty, so I ended up being there forty minutes early. No harm done, I always have a book, and she was ready to start at about ten after.
We had a good session, then I had lunch with rocket_jockey, whom I haven't seen in several months. Lunch was very pleasant and we ended up talking far longer than I had planned. I should have planned more time, because we always end up talking at length. By the time we said goodbye it was after three thirty.
I headed off in the general direction of "across the lake" to run some errands, but the further I got, the less inclined I felt to actually do them. I headed toward home, telling myself there were closer places to achieve the same goals, but eventually didn't get anything done but buying groceries. The evening was spent deeply engaged in a private project.
Sunday. . . was spent almost entirely in an altered state of one degree or another. From the time I woke up until the time I went to bed I was focused on the spiritual, creative, and/or the erotic, and both Lohain and Ereshkigal were vividly present throughout the day. By the time I called oakmouse at a little after 9pm I felt more than a little overwhelmed by the intensity of the experiences. Any one of them fell within the borders of normal for me -- but to have them off and on throughout the day, with no other major input, was a new experience. It was very rich, and I got some important insights, but I'm looking forward to going to work and grounding in the mundane again for a while.
And I still have those weekend errands to run: beads for a gift project, finding some plus-sized yoga wear for Nia class, buying vodka for my Tiwaz rite. Not to mention laundry, dishes, and bill paying that were all scheduled for yesterday but got run off the rails by the otherworld.
