It’s warm here now, as I sit down to write. I am thankful for the clear skies, and I am most certainly grateful that it’s not surface-of-the-sun blistering. I also want to say an outloud Thank You to the Universe for bringing me loving friends and wonderful people in my life. We’ve been surrounded by so much shit lately that it’s amazingly magnificent to realize how lucky we all are. What with no one dying on us and none of us being homeless or anything. (Thank You!)
When the weather heats up I drive around in the Wee Walnut with all (both!) windows down because I don’t have air conditioning, and I require that breeze to keep my brain from frying. Recently I clamped a big hair clip to my below-the-dashboard incense container and use it to keep my vision clear from flying strands now that my hair has been getting longer again. Today I had the clip on the back of my head, and as we stopped to drop off our movies, I yanked the clip out and tossed it on my seat when we went inside the store.
Daniel got in before I did and JUST before I sat on the damn hair clip he yanked it out from under my ass.
Him ~ You almost sat on that thing.
Me ~ I know! I saw it, and remembered it was there, the very second you saved it.
Him ~ Good thing I have super-quick reflexes!
Me ~ (Laughing at this, because seriously “super-quick” is NOT what anyone thinks when they see him, or spend time around him, or know him the way I do.)
Him ~ I SAVED it! And you LOVE this hair clip!
Me ~ I DO love this hair clip.
Him ~ See? You’re very lucky to have me.
Me ~ I am. I am VERY lucky. Me and my hair clip. Both of us, so lucky.
These two were excellent. Again, highly recommend. We’ve had a great run of picking out some really good movies this week. Because of Dan’s schedule we only get to see videos about once a year. So we have to watch all the ones we thought we might have been interested in seeing the previous 12 months or so. As we wandered the aisles today we figured out that we’ve probably seen all the “good” ones now though. (I am BEYOND picky when it comes to what I watch, and he is BEYOND patient about it.)
On our erranding rounds we spotted only a minor few Foreign License Plates, and one we actually saw twice. A kid was driving a small grey car from Minnesota, apparently in all the same places we were going. We saw one Florida, one Iowa, one Texas, and another Indiana that was, sadly, still NOT the Fokker nor her family.
We did get to see some friends in the grocery store though. And that’s always fun. This particular guy is someone I call The World’s Nicest Man. He probably has more patience and more kindness in one body than any person I’ve ever met (with the exception of my Beloved and his children, of course). He is also the LEAST freaking judgemental person, of all time (seriously, he’s like Gandhi or Jesus). He makes me smile, just knowing he’s around, and he hugs me, without fail, whenever we see him. His wife is fabulous as well, and she cross stitches, so ya know, obviously these are two of my favorite people.
(Note to Ally and the witchlings, it was John Miller and his Mrs, at the PC over by the shops. Because I know you guys were curious.)
Our card today is from our new Crystal Oracle deck. This continues to be fascinating to me, I really don’t know much about it, so I like learning a new divination skill. (As was part of the suggestion from yesterday’s message.)
“Amulet Stones ~ (Thunder Eggs) ~ protection, guidance, travel, integration.
Travel plans will soon be on the horizon. An unexpected opportunity will soon arise which will see you preparing to travel to a far away place. The amulet stone offers you protection and guidance while traveling.
While away you will discover interesting ways of integrating your physical and spiritual life as well as your business and personal life. Ideas and opportunities arise that you will find both rewarding and stimulating.
Allow yourself to keep an open heart and mind.”
The first thing that popped in to my head when I read this as I flipped it over was that I will be taking my first walk-instead-of-pool class tomorrow. Dan has agreed to wander the neighborhood with me to scope out a route that will make good use of my time and help me to feel as though it’s worthwhile for health reasons. If it were left up to me I would sulk across the street to the mail box then stomp back home again in a bad and bitter mood. We’ll keep you posted. (And take the camera along with us.)
Special Note To Those Of You I Still Owe E-mails To: the printer continues to be dead, and I can’t write if I can’t read, so continue to be patient with me as I work this out, or wait for the new printer to arrive. Thank you so much!
