duathir, I had a dream that it was the eve of Samhain (or so I thought?), and that you stood in the newly fallen darkness and said, "We ride tonight!" My heart leapt and I stood with conviction and said that I would ride with you. It felt powerful, frightening, daring, ancient, new, and hopeful. Given the sorrows in the world right now, I thought I should ( Read more... )

There may be another trip to urgent care tonight. My asthma is aggravated and will not STFU completely, despite treatments ( Read more... )

From the catalog over at Friday Afternoon tea, this is listed as "An unexpected, woody, slightly spicy blend of gunpowder green tea, houjicha, ginger root, and black peppercorn. This was one of two brand new blends to both debut and sell completely out at FaerieCon West!". People who know me know me of my thing for Labyrinth, and a certain King, so ( Read more... )

It's 45F out, going down to 33F tonight, and my body seems to think it's cold. Well, at least I am able to get warm today as opposed to the last two days in a row. I think my hormones are being PCOSy weird. Still, I needed to warm up--and there is one more gift tea to review. And then I could start on other teas, if only for my reference or to ( Read more... )

No, really, that's what it's called, "WTF". I cracked up when I saw it too. The label said it was white tea, and I got it open a crack to get a sniff and smelled...chocolate?? WTF, indeed. I confess, I was again skeptical. I do like chocolate, but as I tell everyone, I'm a vanilla girl, and--why are you laughing?! STOP LAUGHING! Anyway, I like hot ( Read more... )

Last week, I received a house warming prezzie from my fairygothmother, thewronghands. There was, however, a small problem: I lacked my awesome Breville tea kettle, with multiple temperature selection for producing awesome tea, and I did not pack a teapot or any filtering device. In my defense, I was already 68lbs overweight on ONE back, so, I guess that's ok. ( ( Read more... )

Hey guys ( Read more... )

My life's been a mix of late of doing spiritual practice work, online and in workshop with T. Thorn Coyle, working on yarn and jewelry, despairing and planning to send out my resume once again, the birth of my sister's first child, and overshadowing the whole thing: preparing for the Out of the Darkness Overnight walk ( Read more... )

Hey guys, not dead, just having strange complications, trying to figure out if I have a reoccurring, zpack resistant or a different sinus infection and I really hope that isn't the case, but, fuck. Because I finished a round of antibiotics last week and even though I don't remember taking the last pill, the pack is gone and I suspect I took it and ( Read more... )

Wow, I don't know what good deed I have done, but today is a day full of blessings. It started with a lovely thank you card from fallconsmate's mother for the necklace I sent her in December. It had a lovely rose on it and a sweet letter inside and I got teary in the good way. fallconsmate, please let your mother know she is a lovely woman and she made my day entirely. ( ( Read more... )
