Trying To Get "IT" All Together...
So, now I finally am able to be online pretty regularly. I've managed to once again make myself persona-non-grata in the local priestess world again. This time because I insisted on asking a question at a grilling for a 2nd Degree Elevation that, while it also fringed on my personal feelings, also had strong implications for the Candidate's future behavior in group activities and with other clergy, and his/her general respect for Trad and Law. The point is, my personal feelings about the event that precipitated my question, while they are intense and do include anger, are irrelevant when it comes to my responsibilities to the Craft. I'm sure others see it another way, though. I'd like to talk about it with them, but emotions are intense (and there is a lot of defensiveness, assignment of motivation, emotion and blame involved). I hope this time it won't take two years for us all to sit down at the table to talk. The problem with having professional relationships with your closest friends and family is that sometimes things can get a little sticky and messed up. Sigh...
Writing is coming along swimmingly, though I have to take long periods to rest. I bought an adjustable laptop stand that doubles as a bedside table, so I can keep my feet up while I work, and even still watch TV or playa a CD. Helps keep the swelling down, and makes getting around much easier when I do have to get up and walk. Still can't go too far without a cane, and if I forget to take it into the store, I have to use one of the wheel chairs like as not, because I just don't have the energy to stand without leaning on something for the length of time it takes to say, go grocery shopping. So anyway, I'm working on some important Craft stuff that has to be done ASAP, and has been put off a long time for various reasons first--then I'm going to get on getting the several books I've written part or all of together to try to find publishers. I have a really good feeling about the future of my books, and hope even for some financial success.
Speaking of which, T figured his current income and my pitiful disability benefits against the bills and decided that between us we could pay current child support and one personal loan due to his ex-wife, our rent, and our utilities--but that we are going to have to skip everything else. I know we'll find a way, but it's gonna be interesting.
Not sure I'm reading it right, but I think my daughter actually got a date.... ???? Is it with THE guy? I don't know--maybe she'll call me and tell me?
