OMG

Well, I've had a busy week. I finished my goddess sculptures and poem for Prehistory and turned that in. Yay! I did a paper for Ancient Rites and am still working on Runes 4. I am doing publicity for a lady. Mostly research, looking up addresses on the internet. I think I am hired for the summer to do baking, decorating cookies and possibly barista(ing). I need to get some good shoes! That just occurred to me. I also need to get a car. I haven't driven in a long time. I'm going a little crazy right now. This is a lot of stress for me. And I haven't even started yet. OMG. What have I gotten myself into? All for now! bye

Mother's Day

Another busy week. I managed to reschedule my job counseling appt.s to the same day the Employment Support Group is on. I also have my dentist appt. next week on the same day. That's going to be one long day. I wonder if bad luck is catching. I wonder about stuff like that. Or good luck too. I turned in the Runes 4 homework today. I go deep when I do readings. I mean, I really have to concentrate to do these readings. I'm still learning. Mother's Day is Sunday. I didn't really get my mom anything, just some chocolate. Me and my brother are going to make her lemon bars too. I'm on a new schedule, still getting used to it. Star's computer is screwing up, so she's upset about that. Don't blame her for that. I finished writing my poems for the April PAD, just have to type them up. OK, so I'm a little late! :) Got my Divination group moved to Google Groups. It's different, you get emails when someone posts a comment. But it's not as confusing as Yahoo Groups. I could never get the hang of that one. Listening to Bob Seger on Last.FM, "Turn the Page". I like the Metallica version better, like both of them actually. I'm so glad I got my appt.s on the same day. Two days in town was really messing with me. All for today! bye

Grumpy

I'm in a grumpy mood today. This is funny because physically I'm feeling a lot better. I guess my emotions are a little behind. Not a whole lot happening, which I always say is a good thing. Jed, my brother, and me are going to watch horror movies tonight. I'll tell you if they are any good. Turned in my principle homework for Runes 4 this morning. Me and Glenda (another student) both did a reading for my question. The question or query was whether I should start a new free divination network or just delete the NING site. For both of us it came up that I should start a new network. I'm thinking a private network where people might feel freer about opening up. So maybe Yahoo Groups. I know they have a private option. I'm listening to an ABC CD, a best of compilation. The remixes are a little off, but I like "The Look of Love" and "When Smoky Sings". It's cold and rainy today. I guess I'll do a little reading before we get Subway sandwiches for dinner. Bye

Unwell

So I'm not going to my employment counselor appt. or the Employment Support Group meeting this week. This new drug kicking my ass, up one side of the street and down the other. Mostly nausea, but a couple other side effects as well. I'm not good with stomach pain. I already have acid reflux so this is in addition to that. Take pills for that too. Well, enough about that.

I still have to finish my application for Peer Counselor Training. Will probably get to it sometime today and mail it off tomorrow. Went to a NAMI meeting last night. Lots of personal politics. I guess people without mental problems still like drama in their lives. Kind of disillusioning. The parents outweighed the consumers last night.

Indy wants her treats. I usually give her some kitty treats around noontime. As far as Nature U. goes, Runes 4 has started. We get to do readings for others and ourselves too, with Runes. That should be a good time. The only other person who's posted a question/query is another student, Glenda. I wonder what happens if no one does a reading for you. I guess you just do your own reading and call it good. I haven't done many Rune readings so this is all pretty new to me.

Not making much progress on Prehistory. I guess feeling like shit isn't conducive to getting things done. I was gonna write about something else... Oh well! All for now! Bye

NING!

I don't know what I'm going to do yet about my NING site. This is my divination site, The Divine Life. It's not very active. I might just delete it. Or I might find a new home for it... Still not sure. I guess I don't have to decide today. Another site, a creativity site that I belong to, needs a new leader or co-leader. I might do that. I'll have to see.

The new drug I'm on is making me nauseous. Not a good feeling. I'm still going to the art/photography show and touring the new fire station today with Mom and Jean Jeanie. I'm supposed to make dinner tonight. I'll see how I feel.

My class didn't get cancelled! Yay! I start Runes 4 tomorrow. I did a meditation last night for Ancient Rites, but I haven't typed it up yet. I have all these poems for the April PAD challenge I have to type up. And a million other things to do. Sigh. Well, that's it for today! bye

Punchy

I just finished watching Wimbledon, the movie. It was a nice light romance. I used to watch a lot of tennis on TV. Nice! I get most of my movies from Netflix, a few from the library. The Oscars are coming up so I put a few Oscar nominated movies in my queue.

I had a really nice day all around. It started early when the dishwasher repair guy came and fixed the dishwasher. Then Mom was over for awhile. We had apple cinnamon rolls and coffee together. I got two packages at the PO, a book I traded for, The Anatomy of Motive, all about why people kill and commit violent crimes, from Paperbackswap.com. The other an order from Joann's containing a kitty crosstitch that I mostly bought for the 3-inch embroidery hoop, some more transfers, a booklet of embroidery stitches, and a punch embroidery kit and punch tool. This leads into my next paragraph.

So this afternoon I did some embroidery for awhile, just boring stitching around a border. Then I opened the punch tool and punch embroidery kit. The kit is a flower in a vase with a backround, all in pink, cream, and green colors. I've never punch embroidered before. I figured it out, but I spent about half the time threading the punch needle. I may have done about a quarter of the pattern, if that, in 3 hours! Fast and easy, hmmmm. I'm not really into kits, but I wanted to learn how to do this. Then tonight I crocheted on the afgan for my mom during the movie.

I think it's the stress, really. If I'm learning something new or crafting I don't have to think about things so much. I saw my job counselor, Mary Jane, I'll call her, yesterday. We just did paperwork. So that is not so stressful except I'll have appointments once a week for awhile and maybe a job search support group to go to, once a week. I miss my best friend. I will go visit her cat tomorrow, he is staying with my family for a few days. I'm really scattered right now. I'll probably be up late since my sleep schedule is so off the charts lately. I'm seeing my doctor on Friday. I'm wondering if I have the balls to say No to someone if they ask me for a big favor. We shall see. Star always said I was good at saying No.

It's still Winter Vacation at Nature U. Until the beginning of March when a few classes start. My class doesn't start until Mid-April. Yes, Runes 4 is happening! I'm looking forward to it. The thought of no classes 'til next Fall was really weighing on me. Like a big empty space. I thought the class wasn't offered since it wasn't on the final list. Someone must have registered for it late. This class is supposed to be about doing Rune spreads and learning how to read them. Sweet! I'm kind of lost when it comes to the Runes.

I'm listening to U2 videos, The Best of 1990 to 2000. The 90s pretty much sucked for me, but some of the music was good. :) That's all for tonight!
bye

News from Sparta

I had a good Valentine's Day. There was even a little romance involved. I got a Valentine and a phone call from one of my online friends, Leonidas, I'll call him just for fun. That was really sweet. :) He lives a ways away, but hopefully we'll get to meet someday.

I decided to take Runes 4 instead of the Goddess class. Unless no one signs up for it, then hopefully the Goddess class will be open. I registered!

The post office was closed today because of the holiday. Kind of a bummer. I'm expecting some packages and I have stuff to mail. Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow...

I made a couple St.Pat's coasters today, they turned out pretty good. 4-leaf clovers. I have nothing to write about. My head is empty. This is not a new thing for me. I used to think all the time, think, think, think. Then I tried meditating which involves emptying your head. I think it worked! That's all for today! Bye
