The Full Moon in Pisces, Eclipse Edition

 Good afternoon, my dears. I am a bit behind with posting. Life has gotten very stressful. This morning, my son stayed home because he is sick. His wife overslept, so the kids didn't get to school on time. 

One of our dogs escaped from the pen three times. Once, he took another dog with him. It took a lot of engineering to figure out how to make the gate escape proof. 

My mother showed up twice. I have heard people under the sign of Pisces will be unhinged during this full moon eclipse. I managed to piss my mom off. All I said was that she doesn't need to buy things for me. At first, she dismissed what I said with the excuse of she enjoys buying for her grandchildren. Then she suddenly got angry; she thought maybe no one wanted what she brought. Then she was angry with me for saying anything. I didn't even tell her to stop. I was merely suggesting that maybe she should save her money. 

But no, she took it wrong, just like she always does, because if things aren't going exactly her way then it's a personal insult. Then she left, muttering and calling me names. She hasn't been back, so that's good. Dealing with my mom is exhausting.

After she left, I talked to my cousin. Her sister is named after my mother. She is also a Pisces. She has just been released from a mental health facility. She is also causing problems. My cousin has stopped answering her phone. 

I realized I haven't been able to do anything that I planned for today. I got busy cleaning. I think I need to work in some protective spells. I did do a release ritual. I don't know how much good it did. I feel like things are actively working against me.

Over the weekend, I was able to clean the porch. Now I can sit on bench and sip coffee while watching the hummingbirds. I still need to harvest basil. I have an idea for labels. I intend to gift herbs for Christmas.

I started making stickers for my shop. I am making Zodiac stickers. I can do a lot with the signs.

I finished the Outlander series. I am disappointed. As I neared the end I realized I had lots of questions but only a thin section of pages. I began to feel uneasy. Spoiler alert, the books end, and they don't end well. I feel like the author just got tired of writing. The very anticlimactic ending has made me not want to read the Lord John Gray series, nor do I want to watch the TV series. 

I have decided to operate on the assumption that my adult son will be moving out this month. When he leaves, I am turning the empty bedroom into a library. I have already moved a lamp and table into the room. My goal was to take sewing projects to the studio. Then I would have a place for books and I could paint a bookcase. That was one of the many things I planned, but didn't get to do. Right now I feel drained and I don't want to do anything. 

Also, I got a part-time job working with my husband. I work on Fridays doing inventory. I haven't got paid yet. I am not making much. I see this as easing back into the work force, bringing in a little extra money, rather than anything permanent or career worthy.

This month I will be writing my yearly Witches & Majick Series. I am considering what the focus will be. I will start writing soon. 

I suppose that's enough updates for now. Blessed be. Stay safe and well.
