Slow progress is still progress.
If you haven't yet, come ask for a card!
I'm feeling better, more centered and focused, after doing a few readings. The one (or more) card draw is still open, if you might want a card. You are welcome to stop by! It's interesting that doing things for other people can be so helpful in getting my own spirit in better shape. I guess that's part of what draws me to the cards. There's magic in so many things, but the magic in community is, perhaps, the best magic I've found. And doing readings helps me connect to people and to myself at a deeper, calmer level than a lot of the other things I do.
I have also gotten some painting done in the room that I bought curtains for mumble months ago. The walls and ceilings needed more work than I'd hoped, and work involving high levels of dust (like sanding replastered spots) is not a thing I can be in the room for, so the work took a lot longer than I'd hoped. However, finishing it up started moving faster after My Angel's doc put her on a daily asthma inhaler, and she started panting less and having more energy. The walls and ceiling aren't perfect, but they're so much better than they were.
Before Omicron hit, we took the curtains I bought myself (again, way too long ago) into Menards and picked a paint color. I'd been imagining using something like a powder blue, but the blues just didn't look right with the curtains. At the end I was torn between two shades of pale purple, and finally decided on the "sleepy purple" for the name, as a good omen for good sleep in that room once we get it done.
We also did a bunch of cleanup in the laundry room, getting ready to put a table in there to make the room more comfortable to use.
I have done a little writing and music practice. Not as much of either as I'd planned, and I have plenty of other things on my to-do list besides, but paradoxically, spending time doing readings has helped me tackle all the other things that need doing.
I had plans to go grocery shopping yesterday, but looked at the covid numbers and decided it was a better idea to just make an order and have it brought to me. I know it costs more that way, and that I'm vaccinated and boosted besides, but I feel for our poor doctors and nurses facing so many hospitalizations. My mother was an operating room nurse and after that a public health nurse, and I know that that profession can be stressful in normal times. I have the ability to stay out of the pool of people who can get infected and spread the disease, and with my asthma and allergies and other issues, I know I am one of the people who might get really sick if I got a breakthrough case. So I'm staying at home as much as I can, except for the occasional jaunt in the car to park near pokestops and play the silly game.
So, if you want a card for the new year or for creative inspiration, please stop by and ask for one! One card is free, though tips are always welcome.
And Happy New Year, everybody!
