Omg, I have an interview tomorrow late afternoon for a job at a therapy horse barn and I am unreasonably excited about it. It would be such a good fit and I think I could do the job really well!!

Pls send all the good vibes.

@MsHearthWitch As a fellow horse girl I’m sending you all the best vibes! That sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

Trying to meal plan and literally every thought of food or meals I've ever had in my life has just vanished from my head.

@napalousa@pagan.plus avatar

@westerling @MsHearthWitch My trick is forgetting what I planned half way through the week. I have a list on the fridge and we’ve already enjoyed two nights worth of meals that weren’t listed. Last night was frozen fish fillets with beans and a baked potato. Tonight we ordered a pizza. Totally worth it. ;-)

@MsHearthWitch Ugg that’s me on a Sunday morning when I try and figure out the shopping list. I either crave something days before and obsessively know what I want to cook and have a plan together before Sunday or I end up sitting completely clueless trying to come up with something.

@westerling @MsHearthWitch Ooh! Happy Birthday to you both! That’s so cool. I love when things like that happen. In my buddy group at college at least 3 of us had birthdays days apart it was weird but awesome.

Just a little spot of breakfast.

Slept like garbage so I'm being extra Extra™ today in an effort to feel better.

Dippy eggs, heritage bacon, herb and garlic bread, and Mighty Leaf Earl Grey tea.

@MsHearthWitch Yum! Love a good dippy egg.

Last week I found this Chinese Paper Cut book at Half Price Books. It’s absolutely beautiful and unexpected. I wasn’t intending to get it but it was cheap as chips (less than $10) and it seemed wrong to leave it. Each page is a beautiful paper cut with film over it to protect it. Chinese astrological signs on one side and birds on the other. No clue what the background to this is but enjoy the photos!

An open book with a multicolor paper cut of two birds surrounded by flowers on the left page in pink, purple, grey, blue and emerald green. The right page has a paper cut for the year of the rat. Around each page is Chinese writing and a description in English.

Years ago, I taught my niece how to , and now she made me these gnomes for the Yule tree!
They're so cute, I feel like I should give them names. People name their gnomes, right?

napalousa,
@napalousa@pagan.plus avatar

@Cat_LeFey Those are adorable! Yes our gnomes have names. Our main gnome is called Bob Funny. Don’t ask how we came up with that, it just felt right. Bob looks after the house along with a Tanuki ornament.

Bioluminescence returns to Southern California

I saw bioluminescent waves one time at Assateague Island, Virginia. It wasn't this pronounced but it was magical.

So tomorrow, before April 1st, before Mercury retrograde, the love-mates and I are going to clean our Altar and set it up in preparation for Mercury retrograde. We figure doing it as a team would be the most effective and we can choose what stays up there and what gets put away, and cleaning everything together will give it good juju. I think it is a really important step just before such a monumentous retrograde. We picked up fresh candles fresh waxes and scents even got new journals to do Shadow work in. We're going to do our best to make this retrograde be as painless as possible.

In other news,

Our lives are so busy that Woody and I did not realize that this past Wednesday was our 19th year anniversary. We were aware of it coming up back in February, but then life just gets so busy and it went right past us. We're both really hoping that next year we don't sleep through our 20th anniversary.
19 years is pretty impressive. A lot of people don't get this far. Or if they do they're not doing it happily. We've been together 19 years and we still love each other, and respect each other, and appreciate each other, and are so grateful to have one another in each other's lives it's crazy. It's been a wild ride absolutely unpredictable and worth every moment.

Feb. 2: Do you agree with Jodi Picoult who says you should finish writing a book even if you think it might be garbage?

Who has the time, these days? Jodi started publishing back in the early nineties, with a publishing contract. That's thirty years ago. Within the volume of that time the industry has changed vastly. Can someone with a net worth of around $10 million give meaningful advice to the desperate writers of today.

napalousa,
@napalousa@pagan.plus avatar

@golgaloth I agree in that once you’ve finished a draft you can polish it up or you may get some clarity on a better way to write the story and the next draft has a new POV or perspective and is no longer garbage. It’s all writing practice in the end and you learn from doing.

That said I’ve got 2 books that are sitting unfinished. One is a 2nd draft and a hot mess the other I keep hoping will get better but I have no motivation to finish it, so I guess there are no hard and fast rules. You can’t force yourself to write something you don’t believe in or enjoy. I know that’s the case for me.

I just finished reading Mudlark by Lara Maiklem and is in an absolutely fascinating read about mudlarking the Thames estuary and all the London history that these items represent. I started flagging bits that I wanted to put in my notebook and I think I’ve finished an entire thing of flags.

She finds everything from glass bottles, Roman coins, printers lead letters, glass eyes, clay pipes, dead bodies, buttons, pottery, false teeth, you name it.

Watching the squirrels nibble on the new green leaf buds and shoots of the shrubs and trees. They’re always so delicate with the branches. They really seem to savor them. I guess if I’d been eating old acorns and dried seeds, I’d savor the fresh greenery too.

Some spring blossom for you from my walk today. The horse isn’t called blossom but he may as well be. Have you ever seen a horse with golden eyes before?

A white/cream draft horse looks out of his stall door. He has golden eyes! His lips are seriously in goober floppy mode. I think someone must have given him a treat shortly before I took the photo

The yoghurt worked! It set well and it tastes pretty good too. Still not 100% sure about the cooler method, but everything looks good. One of the jars even sealed when I took it out. Now to make cheese! Just kidding 😄

This is outside our local Meijer. There’s always crows, in this part of town but 😳. I wish I could give you a more landscape picture. Imagine this except in at least 2 or 3 trees all the way along.

My lovely husband @ahermitforhire with our new broadfork. I had a go with it and it works beautifully. It’s pretty easy going on the back and legs. Hopefully we can get this area cleared and sow plenty of wildflower seed into it.
