Knitting, candles, dark chocolate, and the Sanderson sisters as we mourned a beloved LBC last night - not ours, but a dear one to our family.

Grateful for housemates who got their COVID and flu shots very recently because now I can’t get vaccines for a few years.

The hair has been cut in anticipation of chemo fallout. I don’t like it, but that’s life. (I caught the bangs a little too close, but that will fix) Saved a braid of what I chopped off because no idea if any red will return.

Went to a different place for dinner tonight in Langley right on the waterfront so we sat outside awhile after dinner. There were two crows who stayed close to each other - when one moved, the other sidled right back up to them, clearly a pair.

Things of note today, 4/12: It’s Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls’ b-day (celebrated in song), taxes are done, the Torrent have an open hockey practice which the other 2/3 of the household are attending, plans made for travel to Filkconbobulated in late June, and I’ve lost 25% of my former body weight.

We were informed that the original space for the con suite had been double booked. So instead of being upstairs, the con suite will be right across the hall from the rest of the con space. I love it when a plan comes together!

Registration is open, follow the link on filkconbobulated.org. If there are any questions or problems, let us know. We are still looking for help with sound, mostly stage prep. We do want to do an instrument petting zoo. Let us know if you are going to bring something nifty for folks to play.

Today I committed a wonderful Spoonerism; instead of saying I walked into it “with eyes wide open” I said “ with wise eyed open”. Still makes sense when I think about it.

My house (former house) is full of five humans, five four-foots, the crock pot is cooking, and the kitchen is full of pumpkin guts. There will soon be trick-or-treaters, corn bread, candles, and spooky movies. Blessed Samhain! 🎃

Gotta wonder which is worse - not enough sleep or getting just enough sleep to realize how much sleep one is not getting 😆

If your truth is so absolute that you cannot accept that my truth might look different from yours and *could* be equally valid, we’re rather stuck, are we not?

It's so important for us to self-care right now. It's helping me to return to the divine sovereignty within. There's an endless stream of compassion and sacred wisdom that can provide the leadership we crave ~ within us. This is where the voices of our guides reside We must take the time to listen.

People…Girl Scouts are selling cookies around most of the country right now, but please DO NOT post or share their sales links on social media. It’s not allowed and is a serious breach of safety. Parents can share only directly person to person. Ask and do it by private message. Thanks.
