I couldn’t find my notebooks. 🙁

I’m going to keep digging, though. They couldn’t have gotten far.

This month has been a bit crazy. Between my course, work, and being a Mom, I haven’t had much room to breathe. I’m not sure if I’m sick, but I’ve been feeling out of sorts, and I’ve been experiencing a weird set of symptoms for the last couple of weeks. Knowing me, it’s probably just fatigue. I have a three-day weekend, so I hope to rest a bit. I have a lot to do around the house, but I’m not going to push myself too hard.

If the rain slows down, I’m hoping to get outside a do a little work in the yard. There is a patch of thistles that have just absolutely exploded this last month and they need to go. Charlie said he’d lend me a pair of his work gloves to rip them out of the ground and I’m kind of looking forward to it. Get some of that ol’ aggression out, you know, LOL.

I volunteered myself to host the October “Witch Stack” book club in DCG. I don’t know why I did… I guess getting into the spirit of getting my little rump out of my comfort zone. At least I can speak about the book I chose, and I think I can speak on the material with some confidence. I chose “The Morrigan” by Courtney Webber. I need to reread the book and make some notes… maybe consult my Raven’s Retreat journal and see if there’s anything I can supplement the notes with. My anxiety is already at work, trying to get me to back out, and list all of the reasons why I should. I’m determined to see this through. Even if it turns out to be me just blubbering at the camera, or giving the deer-in-headlights look, at least I will be able to say that I tried.

I really need to get to bed. It’s Friday tomorrow, my dudes.

LOL. Good night.

My latest earworm that won’t leave me be, LOL.

I’m still alive, I swear, LOL. The last little while has been spent working, more working, being mom, and working on my transcription course. Between all that, I’ve been enjoying the two new Marilyn Manson songs and trying to have a normal sleep schedule.

This month is going to be a bit crazy… I need to start getting my stuff together for Mabon, Thanksgiving, and Samhain. Also, the Empowered Modern Witches Summit happens at the end of September, and I’ve been at the edge of my seat in anticipation for that because this year’s theme is shadow work (free tickets for the summit are here).

One thing I did was reactivate my Photobucket account. It’s quite a mess in there, but it had all of my graphics and icons that I made for my blog and my LiveJournal when I was a teenager, and a lot of photos from when I was 16-18 in it. The photos were quite mortifying – I still can’t believe I wore Eric Draven style make up for years and no one stopped me, LOL. I might share them on here if I can get over the cringe.

Hopefully, this weekend sometime I will finally be adding some poetry and things under the writing section here. WordPress is being weird, so we’ll see what I can do. I am going to dig my old notebooks out of the closet and see what treasures I can find in them.

I have been listening to this song non-stop:

KiTTiE’s new album, “Fire,” has been announced for June 21st and I am so fucking excited. It feels like it’s been forever since they released new music and I couldn’t hit the “preorder” button fast enough.

I hope you all are well. This last month has just been sickness after sickness for me, and it’s all culminated into influenzae. I haven’t been sick like this in years, and it’s one of those illnesses that once I think I’m getting better, I wake up with some new kind of symptom and the roller coaster starts all over again. Right now, I’m extremely congested, I have a wet cough and it sounds like there is a geiger counter going off in my chest. I’m hoping that I’ll have whatever this is flushed out of my system by the end of next week… I finally get some time off and I am not spending it in bed with some NyQuil and a box of Kleenex. I refuse.

Something exciting that’s been happening this month… I finally splurged and bought myself a desktop, thanks to my fairly decent tax return. I bought the tower, and Charlie helped me out with the other components. I’ve decided to finally take the leap and finish my transcription course, and working with my laptop was just not going to cut it. Right now I’m in the process of clearing out my mom’s old craft room and turning it into my office, so that I can get everything set up. I’m really happy about this, because I will finally be able to get my butt into gear and start posting content here. My laptop is nearly impossible to work with (poor little shit can barely handle an open browser with more than one tab), and now that I have this really awesome desktop, it will be much easier for me to do what I want. I am hoping that by this time next year, I’ll be taking my RHDS exams, and then getting in some transcription side hustle.

It’s been raining here almost non-stop for the last month. It’s put a damper on my outside activities, but I’ve really been enjoying it. Rain = my favourite. My lawn is starting to look like a forest, though, so I’m hoping it dries out for a few days so I can mow it down. My lily of the valley that got massacred by the cattle that invaded my yard last year has come back, and I almost cried when I saw it. It’s one of the last things my mom planted before she got sick, and I was afraid that it wouldn’t regrow after they tore it all up. Hopefully those cows stay in their pasture this year.
