Well, contrary to what everyone else is doing….I don’t have anything interesting in the form of grateful’s/thank-you’s for New Years because I did that at Mid-winter ritual. Today, I’d just like to claim that I have lots of clean sheets/clothes and a new front windshield for my car. Managed to keep, somewhat, to my schedule of doing business work, yoga, and meditation today. Didn’t spend as much time as I scheduled, but I did get work, meditation and yoga done. Next step is to keep it up and to sketch out my next tattoo. *nods* End of story.

Ok, so far I haven’t even started on the things that I need to, though, maybe I did need a vacation though. Next week, I’m going to start up with daily yoga and work 3 hours a day on artwork and business stuff. So, my calendar shall be somewhat full. And I’m not going to take the week at my parents off. Need to check my mail so I can empty the box and hopefully my paperwork for a residency will be in there. That’s what I need while I build my practice. Now, onto books. I need to finish reading all the books that belong to others in my possession, which reminds me, I need to start meditating again. My concentration is flailing in the storm winds. Tally Ho!

Ok, I’ll just say that this year’s Mean Gamhraidh(sp?) went pretty well. This next year I become a dedicant again, from the looks of it, I’ll be an initiate within a year *fingers crossed* which will be very nice because I believe that I am ready for the next step. I got a pretty good yield on the presents and the presents I gave. Still one more to give out, hopefully the recipient will be around this weekend because I won’t next weekend. Be well everyone and have a safe holiday. BTW, no more “merry christmas”.

Oh yeah, watched Midnight Mass at the Vatican last night with the Moonbird, the Father who did the announcing should not quit his day job and the ceremony was gorgeous in St. Peter’s Cathedral. Stupendous 🙂

Ok, ritual rocked, got a nifty coffee mug with lady liberty on one side (with “in gods and goddesses we trust”) and “may you never thirst” on the other. very nifty. the joke of the holiday season is that i seem to be getting an awful lot of soap, maybe they’re trying to tell me something *eg*. In other notes, I must call the restaurant today and see how late they are open, I have a meeting set for tonight and realized, yesterday, that today is x-mas eve and they might not be open. Shows what happens when you’re pagan and don’t celebrate the major holidays of the country (Easter-tide being the exception), oh wait, i’m not wiccan, we don’t do that one :P. Anyway, I’m sick….least it held off till after I got out of school. Off to do the grocery shopping and stuff. Be well everyone, and just remember, if you love the holiday season, you’ve never worked in a retail store long enough to suffer several holidays. *nods* Not to mention, I’m sick of hearing “Have a wonderful X-mas” because I told them to have a nice day instead.

I am gradumatated!!!!! I’m now a certified massage therapist, a neuromuscular therapist, and a deep tissue therapist. how fun is that? money, money, money

Ya know, somtimes, there is no organization to formless thoughts and no words to convey them.

The darkness that is topped by a ladybug hat. That would be me and that would be momentary hell, if hell actually exists. *sigh* I hate lows.

*sigh* The things in my mind, the things in my mind. I’m not completely here, least not that I’m aware of. The headache is slowly going away with the caffeine draining into my system. I believe it’s time to integrate the PMS blend of coffee for my house to make sure this isn’t a side effect of withdrawl (didn’t have my coffee till noon). I’m not quite sure how I’m feeling, just trying to get things out of my head that don’t seem to want to disappear. Spent another $30 last night that I shouldn’t have, but the shirt was too cool to pass over. My parents come in, in a couple of weeks for graduation. Hopefully I’ll be able to snag some of the stuff I want then. All of this month’s paycheck has to go into the checking account and no savings account for bills and whatnot. I don’t mind that, but I was really hoping to hit $4k by the end of the year. I don’t know, I’m guessing that I’m getting to the point where I want to quit being the penny pincher that I normally am and splurge. Maybe I will and take some money from the car fund. Who knows, I’ll figure it out sooner or later.

Reminder, must ask the Moonbird for a few books.

I started reading the Bagavad Gita today. It was quite interesting because there was a poem in the intro that very much mimicked the Song of Amergin. I thought that was quite interesting.

oh yeah, i also passed my DT certification test!!!!

Enough for now.
