First Quarter in Virgo

 It's a good day to clean and organize, but don't plant anything. This sign is barren. 

No pictures today. I am rapidly running out of energy. I don't feel like doing anything extra. 

The tent people got out of my yard, but they didn't really go anywhere. They just moved their car over to my in-laws' yard. And then apparently, they were just going to leave whatever they didn't want here. I pitched a fit about their dogs this morning. My in-laws have a fenced in area where their above ground pool used to be. The dogs were placed inside. There is no shelter- no dog house, tarp, sheet of plywood over saw horses...nothing. I also do not think there's water or dog food. 

I cleaned out my pen, which is why I am running out of energy. I did way too much. I raked up piles of dog shit, then carried the bucket deep in the woods to dump out the disgusting contents. I found a large rock to fill in the hole his bored border collie dug. I made sure everything was clean, and that my dogs had water, then I took my dogs out to the pen. It is the first time they have stayed outside in over a month. 

One of our cats had kittens, which is why I have been demanding that the dogs go outside- now the kittens can safely explore the house. 

I have been cleaning all morning. I have swept, dusted, and mopped. I redid a spell to keep negative energy out of the house. I would like to burn some incense. 

My next plan is to move furniture, though I don't know that's feasible. I ache miserably already. 

I paid off my credit cards.

I bought a very nice embroidery machine. I haven't yet used it. I haven't even opened the box. But I CAN make cool things now, and that makes me feel a little better. 

I think I will buy a rack to hold all our DVD's. I was trying to repair a bookcase, but that projects has stretched on for years and I'm still not finished. I give up. 

My daughter passed fourth grade with A honor roll. I got her interested in Nancy Drew. Nancy is much younger now. I think that's a pity. 

The tent people used up so much of my time, resources, and food, that I barely did any sewing since they came here. When I did have time, I was so worn out from the drama that I couldn't function. It was hard to think. I don't have any projects planned. I haven't signed up for any shows or another craft fair. I have made a couple of Etsy sales, but those were sheer dumb luck, and not the result of being market savvy. 

The garden looks nice, but again, no thanks to me.

I got a better pillow, now my neck hurts less. 

I'm tired, and there's still much to do. Blessed be, my dears.
