New Moon in Leo

 I worked my tesseract spell today. I looked at an old tesseract spell and noticed quite a few things had happened. So I refined the list and tried again. My card for the new moon is the Buttercup, which is about staying focused on goals. That's one of the things I asked for when I did the tesseract. I have lots of ideas, but I don't always do them. Sometimes the idea doesn't work the way I thought it would.  Yesterday I made ying-yang stickers. I made 8. Only five looked really good. So I listed five. Nothing has happened. I didn't get a like or an order. I had more ideas for stickers, but now I'm not sure. Maybe they aren't good ideas. My mother shows up multiple times a day to inquire about the exact same thing that I just explained. I think last night she was in my yard while we slept.  Our puppy is very ill. He has been battling parasites. He is in the clear now, but is skin and bones. I am trying to feed him several times a day, but if I give him too much ...

Horrifying Thought

 Last night, my husband and I were talking. I want to open a winery. My father had an impressive vineyard. He died ten years ago. My mother owns the land now. I do not get along with her. She delights in making me miserable. She is 84. I have been reassuring myself that she won't live forever. I planned to wait until she passed before I started making wine for profit. She has broken things around the house. She let pipes freeze at Christmas so we would be forced to spend the day with her, even though she insisted she didn't want to celebrate. She's thrown rocks at windows, then got annoyed that we stayed too long making repairs. She thought we would replace the glass and leave; she didn't realize the wood frame was rotten. I can totally see her ripping up muskadine vines. She is spiteful. My husband pointed out that my mother could live another 20 years. The thought gave me an instant migraine. I don't think I will survive another 20 years if she is in my life. What...

Full Moon in Capricorn

 Capricorn is the sign or order and structure. The sun is currently in Cancer, which generally represents a parent.  My second oldest son moved in with us seven months ago. I do not charge him or his wife rent. He is remodeling a house that is an hour away. The house has been gutted. There are no walls, floors, kitchen, or bathroom.  Wednesday afternoon, I started washing sheets and towels. I put them in the dryer. Then I took my husband to an airport 45 minutes away. We got home very late, past bedtime. The washing machine was running when we came home. I didn't see my sheets anywhere, so I thought they were still in the dryer. At 3 a.m., my son woke me up. He was slamming doors in the laundry room. I got out of bed to ask what he was doing. Trying to get his clothes dry for work. Being half awake, I didn't think to ask about sheets and towels. I just went back to bed.  Around 7, I got up to start my day. I have lots of clothes to wash. I head to the laundry room. M...

  I drove past the auction house yesterday and spied a mirror. I decided if it was still there when I came back, I would stop to look at it. It was still there. Upon closer inspection, I realized this is a medicine cabinet. It's still cool. It is whole, dirty, but not stained.  I debated things for a while. I don't have need of a medicine cabinet. All I really like is the mirror part. I decided to take it.  Sometimes the auction house puts out items with a sign that says 'free.' This wasn't in the section where free things are up for grabs. I was a little afraid someone would want it back, but I don't see why they would put anything they wanted outside on the bench. After I got home, I figured out why no one wanted it. The medicine cabinet absolutely reeks of urine. I thought my bathroom smelled bad, or that my cat used the rug instead of the litter box. But no. The retro cabinet smells. I just didn't notice outside in the fresh air.  I didn't give up. I...
